Last night I went to the premier of SUPERMAN RETURNS! Like Christmas morning it came. After hearing all the rumors, ideas, plots, and casting announcements, Superman Returns came flying in faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tough film critics with a single bound. As you might think the movie was the first movie that I got so excited about that I could hardly breath, in a very long time. My eyes still hurt from not blinking, my jaw still stiff from not shutting. Ok enough about how great it was lets get into details shall we. Let me set the table. First off Superman is back as you may not know. He left earth in search of his home planet. His sabbatical lasted five or more years. They never really nail the time frame down. When he finally comes back (super awesome scene), he finds the world not how he left it. I won’t share any details because I don’t want to spoil anything. However a nice attention to detail is when Superman does come back, he is wearing an all gray suit. This suit is the same one that was used in the comic book version of the very same event. Way to go Bryan Singer! This movie gets it right on so many levels. The cast of characters is perfect. Kevin Spacey commands his role as Lex Luthor without over powering newcomer Brandon Routh (sounds like South) as The Man Of Steel. Kate Bosworth plays Lois Lane. A weak point in the movie but still shines better than most. I must admit I didn’t really like her in the role when I first heard about it, but after a while she grew on me. This movie is not all action like other brainless blockbusters with inflated budgets. It has build up and emotion. The first time you see Superman in the suit flying to save the day it is just like camping…intense! I had chills. Now some of this you may have to take in account that I am a ridiculous Superman fan boy, but I can tell you this if you don’t get chills at least once in this movie there is no helping you! I recommend paying the extra bucks to see it in iMAX 3D. It is awesome. This is a start to a new mega franchise. I just hope Hollyweird doesn’t mess it up. Please go see this movie. Take you parents, kids, dogs, birds, boyfriends, girlfriends, In-Laws, complete strangers! Come on do you really want Titanic to be the best selling movie of all time? Do yourself a favor see the movie.
