Superman Returns

Okay so I saw this one last night and all I can say is, wow and that spoilers abound.

I’m really impressed with what Singer crafted here, which is essentially a bridge between the movie franchise and the comics. Combining the best of both in one marvelous picture.
Routh was brilliant as Superman, exuding the safety and confidence that Kal-El requires and his Clark Kent just blends into the background perfectly.
Bosworth and Marsden were great, I especially like the lack of going down the path most movies do in a love triangle, here both suitors for Lois are good guys, Richard maybe more so as he flings his mortal life into danger for the sake of his family. Lois saving superman was a nice touch.
Spacey as Luthor…just cool, the scene where he beats supes was brutal, his insanity it perfect here. Plus I loved that he defeated superman with land!
The rest of the cast were well rounded, Parker Posey, a favourite of mine, did a great turn as the best Lex moll yet, Langella and Huntingdon as Perry and Jimmy were spot on. All round bloody brilliant movie folks!
