Superman Returns

Following a mysterious absence of several years, Superman comes back to Earth -- but things have changed. While an old enemy plots to render him powerless once and for all, The Man of Steel faces the heartbreaking realization that the woman he loves, Lois Lane, has moved on with her life. Or has she? Superman's bittersweet return challenges him to bridge the distance between them while finding a place in a society that has learned to survive without him. In an attempt to protect the world he loves from cataclysmic destruction, Superman embarks on an epic journey of redemption that takes him from the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of outer space.

Check out our multiple musings on the Man of Steel.

By Alex Bentley: It may likely be the biggest film of the summer, but it comes up a little short of the bar set by others this year.

By Dan Gattuso: While the look and feel of Superman Returns is exactly right, the characterizations and especially the story are just too similar to the older Donner films.

By Chad Jones: As expected, Superman Returns is visually-enthralling and rich in the way of action, meaning there are plenty of airplanes, cars and other falling things perpetually teetering above unsuspecting Metropolis citizens.

By John P. Meyer: Take all the superhero conventions (faster than a speeding bullet; leaping tall buildings; x-ray vision, etc.) and ramp them up to Warp 11 and you'll get a feel for director Bryan Singer's onscreen accomplishment.
