If Richard Donner's 1978 feature film Superman: The Movie made us believe that a man could fly, Bryan Singer, 2006 follow-up, Superman Returns, we can remember that a superhero movie can make our spirits soar. Superman (played by newcomer Brandon Routh) returns to Earth after a futile search for five years on his home planet of Krypton destroyed. As alter ego Clark Kent, he is eager to return to work at the Daily Planet and see Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth). Laws, however, has changed: now has a boyfriend (James Marsden), a son (Tristan Leabua), and the Pulitzer Prize for his article In addition to Curveball "Why the World Does not Need Superman." emotional, his old rival, Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey) is the largest plot of land grab in history.
Singer, who made a strong impression among comic book fans for his work on X-Men franchise and directed Spacey in The Usual Suspects, brings both a fresh perspective and a sense of respect for the old hero of the world. He borrows John Williams great theme music and the voice of Marlon Brando as Jor-El, and the story (written by Singer X-Men collaborators Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris) is a sequence of sort-of the first two films in the franchise (choosing to ignore the third and fourth movies ever happened). The humorous and romantic elements give the movie a heart, Singer art-deco Metropolis is often breathtaking, and special effects are elegant and spectacular, including a disaster an early set piece. Of the vote, Routh is excellent as the dual Superman / Clark, Spacey is both funny and nasty as Luthor and Parker Posey gets the best lines as Luthor Kitty Moll. But at 23 Bosworth seems too young to Lois-five years ago, gray.
It's nice to see Noel Neill, Jack Larson (two classic adventures of Superman TV series), and Eva Marie Saint on the screen too. Superman Returns is one of the projects were in development for seemingly forever, but it was worth the wait - it's more enjoyable Superhero movie since Spider-Man 2 and The Incredibles. - David Horiuchi
On DVD
The publication of two discs containing approximately three hours of documentaries and other features. "Requiem for Krypton: Making Superman Returns" is an eight-part documentary on the film that goes back to Bryan Singer, see the film in 2004. There are many pictures on the set and the analysis of special effects and stunts, such as theft of Brandon Routh (helped by his system of swimming), which focuses more on the process of shooting than design. For example, we see how the scenes were filmed Metropolis, but not how often striking sets were designed. Marlon Brando appears briefly in the section of failures and "Resurrecting Jor-El" highlights the techniques used to create his shots. The eleven deleted scenes (about 15 minutes total) contains nothing earth shattering, but it is nice to see more of Eva Marie Saint, a scene of Clark back to Smallville, which could have changed the dynamics of his return at the Daily Planet, and a scene between Kevin Spacey and Parker Posey is good for a laugh. - David Horiuchi
