Superman Really Does Return

I finally got around to seeing Superman Returns. Better late than never, I suppose. I really didn’t want to see it because I thought the previews looked really sucky. Well you know what? The movie was good. It was a bit creepy seeing Marlon Brando in it since he was long dead when this was made, but that’s how it is.

There were some really poignant moments, something one doesn’t expect in a Superman film. In this respect it reminded me of the last Batman flick (Batman Begins).

The acting was decent, the script was better than average for a superhero film. And (spoiler alert) the kid was fantastic. I generally hate kid actors, in case you haven’t noticed in my reviews. However this one was really good. I can recommend this to anyone. It’s enjoyable, not overlong long at 2-1/2 hours and it occupies you. My only complaint was the editing wasn’t all that great, but that’s a quibble.
