The Overrated Return Of Superman

The Reel Deal on Superman Returns

Faces of the Film: Brandon Routh, Kevin Spacey and Kate Bosworth

What's the Reel Deal?: Superman Returns is the first shot Hollywood has taken at rejuvenating the Man of Steels film career. With a big budget great special effects and the best Lex Luthor the series has seen yet they set the bar high. Unfortunately a poor story and bad casting for the lead role really hurt what this movie could offer.

Standing on the Podium: Bronze. The effects are fun and it is good to see Superman in the contemporary world. Kevin Spacey nails Luthor. Unfortunately the length of the film couple with Brandon Routh's dismal performance leave Superman Returns as a last resort on movie knight.
