I love SUPERMAN RETURNS! it was beautifully crafted. Brandon Routh- who, as Shaq pointed out at the film's premiere in less flowery language - sometimes appears to be Christopher Reeve reborn. Not in appearance and voice alone, but also in his representation of Clark Kent. Of course, this should not be too surprising seeing as he has admitted to studying Reeve's performances in the earlier Superman films.
Nonetheless, Brandon Routh is excellent in his own right. He "is" Superman as wholly and perfectly as Smallville's Tom Welling (who is actually only 2 years younger). The other characters of the cast were as equally well -chosen. I had perhaps biased doubts about Kate Bosworth's portrayal of Lois Lane, but she does extremely well with that part. I had even more doubts about Kevin Spacey ..I mean, come on, Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor? To my delight, however, he did more than just shave his head to prepare for the challenging role.
Over an hour of the two and a half the film provided was spent with Superman "returning." Note, that I already have slightly biased dislike of Superman. You can probably guess what that dislike concerns. However, I found myself enjoying Superman's excessive showing off.
