Superman Returns: The 2 minute review
Film // Jim // 22nd July 2006
As is the way with big commercial cinema releases of recent years, Superman Returns is a very, very, very long film. In order to recoup some of the time that you are going to spend watching it I have tried to keep this as succinct as possible.
Is it any good? Not bad, entertaining at the start, drags on a bit.
Best bit? Shuttle/plane accident
Worst bit? Superman goes to ER
Spacey? Properly evil, but clearly here for the paycheque.
Routh? Functional in the main, good in the Clark Kent bits.
Bosworth? Can't really remember.
Little kid? Androgynous.
Plot? Basically the first Superman film replayed
Less-than-subtle Christian imagery? Oh yes, almost up to Matrix levels, sacrifice, scourging, crucifixion and resurrection (twice!).
Awful patriotic flag-waving bollocks? Thankfully not.
Possible sequel titles?
The Passion of the Superman
Superdad and Superboy go Shopping for Capes
Superman vs. the Child Support Agency
Superman and the Visiting Rights on Every Other Sunday
Superman Gets Over It & Goes Speed Dating
