Superman Returns

SUPERMAN RETURNS (2006) - Dec. 3, 2006 (Second Viewing)
This was a really good superhero movie. It's definitely a very long film, but it didn't really seem overlong this time around... at least not by much. A lot of stuff happens, but I can't really think of anything major that could be cut out. The performances were all really good, particularly Kevin Spacey (as good as Gene Hackman was in the original, he can't touch Spacey, who is absolutely perfect as Lex Luthor). This is a really good looking film; the direction and cinematography are top-notch. There's enough action to keep things moving but not so much that it becomes overwhelming. Good stuff. ***1/2
