SUPERMAN

Not only that superman return
The first superman films since the 1987 dud Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, but this time it a whole diffence, you got a whold new cast but the same premise

Superman--born on a planet which has long since died--has been raised by adoptive parents on the Kent farm in Kansas. The young boy Kal-El is renamed Clark Kent, and though he has grown up among humans, he is not one of them. Under Earth's yellow sun, he can do two things humans can only dream of, but to co-exist with them he must live a dual life as mild, unassuming Clark Kent(Brandon Routh), secretly transforming into the Man of Steel when the world cries out for him. But now, the world's crises have gone unheeded for five long years since Superman's mysterious disappearance. Without him, crime has risen in the city of Metropolis and beyond; that's not even counting the future destructive acts of Lex Luthor(Kevin Spacey), who has been sprung from prison with the specific intent of using Superman's technological secrets for his own personal gain and glory. Lois Lane(Kate Bosworth), star reporter for the Daily Planet and the love of Superman's life, has moved on since Superman left without a word. She has even won a Pulitzer Prize for her essay, "Why the World Doesn't Need Superman." Lois has other issues to contend with--she is now engaged to the editor's nephew and has a young son to look after. But for Superman, the long search for his place in the universe ends back at the Kent farm, among the only family he has ever known. His destiny lies in Metropolis, where one look in Lois's eyes tell him that this place, among the flawed but ultimately good people of Earth, is his true home. And with Lex's plan coming to fruition mere hours after his return, the world will never need Superman more than it does now.

The movie was to be let out on friday but what the heck let released it two days before the forth of july.

The Detroit News film ciritc Terry Lawson like the movie declaring it 'Superman' steps up as he giv it 3 out of four stars he also say Everything about "Superman Returns" is satisfying, from its don't-rush-things dramatic pacing, to the performances, to special effects as artful as they are remarkable. The first major action sequence, reuniting Superman (Brandon Routh) with his lost love Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth) and involving a space shuttle launch that goes wrong, is made thrilling not only by intensity, but by the way it taps into our subconscious longing for a woman as untainted.

Once again, we have a hero who is actually comfortable in his own skin, and while he may be invulnerable, he is never impervious to the fact that we need him.

Mean time the outher fim cirit fro the detroit news was not so kind used in the headline "Up, up and a yawn
With a storyline deadlier than kryptonite, 'Superman Returns' doesn't live up to the heroic ideal as he give a film a C-

Long say The preposterous tone of this film, which does not just ask for the traditional suspension of disbelief but a complete obliteration of disbelief, is set almost immediately.

He zooms into the sky -- finally, some action -- to thwart an air disaster and promptly forgets about most of the people he's trying to save, seemingly dooming them. Whoops. Then he races after them and again comes darn near killing them all before figuring out what to do, a solution any 5-year-old could have grasped within a second. Whoops again.

Whoops? This is freaking Superman! Any military private would have been court-martialed for such ineptness; any bureaucratic drone would be fired. And we're supposed to cheer?

"Superman Returns" is arguably the most expensive film ever made, and yet you leave the theater thinking, wow, those Spider-Man movies are really good. The kid from Krypton deserved better.
