This deserves all the praise it gets. They don't make them like this anymore. I'll be watching this again, guaranteed.

While along for the ride as Luthor's moll is Parker Posey, she's sparky with a hint of devilish sexiness. Looking like Reeve, and playing out uncannily like him, Routh studied Reeve's performances to get as close to the Reeve incarnation as he could, and he gets it down pat whilst adding a bit of brooding honesty into the mix. Bryan Singer reinvigorated the Superman franchise, and in doing so brought a new verve to the characterisation of an American icon.

Science Fiction fans are in for a treat. While along for the ride as Luthor's moll is Parker Posey, she's sparky with a hint of devilish sexiness. Kate Bosworth gets to be Lois Lane, it's a incredibly solid and controlled performance that would have seen her as a shoe in for the role again if Singer had of taken the reins for a sequel. …

Building on that, the acting is hit-or-miss — some splendid, some not so much. An interesting watch, if a bit inconsistent. I must say the pacing stumbles in places, though it mostly works. …

★★★★☆ 8.0

This is an epic and moving superhero film; sci-fi/fantasy at its best. BOTTOM LINE: I was surprised to discover how worthwhile "Superman Returns" is. What's strange is studio heads were disappointed with these numbers, claiming it should have made $500 million. …
