Review: Superman Returns

 Print This Article |  Email This Article

I read an interview recently, in which Bryan Singer, the director, said that Superman Returns is his first love story. He wasn’t joking.Yes, there is some action, some spectacular flying, and great special effects. However Superman is best in its small moments, and it truly is a love story.

The acting (except for Parker Posey… I don’t like her as an actor) and directing is stellar. However, I almost want to say that the sets steal the show. A lot of care evidently went into this film. And the music! Awesome.

Don’t bother sticking around to see the end of the credits.. there isn’t a suprise added on. The movie ends when the credits begin to roll. All in all, this is a good movie, but not a great one.  I have heard that the next Superman movie, which will be again directed by Singer, will have a lot more action in it.  I hope so!  The action scenes in this one are breathtaking.  Unfortunately, they are also very short.
