Having watched the decline in quality of the Superman film franchise with the mediocre Superman III and Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, I frankly had no illusions that Superman Returns would be good, but to my surprise, Bryan Singer, his two writing partners, and the production staff did the seemingly-impossible: breathed new life into the Superman film series and left me wanting more.
What I particularly liked was the way they tried to stay true to the 1978 and 1981 films and (rightly) ignored III and IV. I thought referring to the Donner film several times was brilliant, even though Kate Bosworth does look a mite young to be Lois.
Routh was also excellent as Superman/Clark Kent. He almost echoes Christopher Reeve's gift to play the dual role with subtle differences in stance and personality, and he looks the part, too.
Love also how Singer and composer John Ottman used John Williams' original Superman theme. Absolutely one of the classier touches, in my opinion.

Yes!! I love watching superman returns. I watched it several times in big screen and when it was shown in IMAX. I even bought a dvd copy of it when it was released. It was full of action and shows Superman's emotional side all rolled into one.

Yeah, it's been years since a new movie of superman came out in cinemas. I love the action, the story, the visuals, it's so realistic :)
