BRIEF THOUGHTS: Superman Returns

Director: Bryan Singer
Starring: Brandon Routh, Kate Bosworth, Kevin Spacey
Plot: Superman comes back to Earth after spending a few years in space looking for his home planet Krypton, only to find that Lois Lane is married and Lex Luthor is still at large.
Thoughts: Kevin Spacey is the man, and the best part of this film. Brandon Routh looks a lot like Christopher Reeves, and his acting is good. Also, although many people have criticized Kate Bosworth's performance as Lois, I thought she did fine. The plot has some strong points and some weak points. There's some good action scenes, but a lot of the movie is spent developing the Lois/Superman relationship. This isn't a bad thing, but I hope more of the inevitable sequel is dedicated to developing Lex Luthor, whose plan this time around just seemed kinda dumb. Overall, a good film, but certainly not worth the $200+ million that it cost to make.
