kal-el comes home

Thewife and i went to watch superman returns last Friday. I can truthfully say that I enjoyed it better than x3. (thewife liked x3 more..) I mean, Bryan singer was perfect for this job. Hes like a kid in a candy store and it looked like he was having fun doing this movie. Its just too bad he had to drop x3, he would been better than ratner. Much much better.
What can i say about the movie? well, its 2hrs 40mins long but you don’t really feel time flying by. it was a well worth wait for this “sequel”. Its been like.. what ~20 years.. since the stain called superman4 was made
This movie picks up after superman2 and has supes returning after a 5 year search for krypton. And well, lex is out of prison and gunning for revenge, as usual.
routh is a perfect superman/clark and spacey is a perfect luthor. didnt really like bosworth as lois but shes definitely better than kidder.
There were a lot of references to the old donner movie. The main ones being the beginning and end credits, the john williams theme and then theres the resurrected brando jor-el.
you'll also notice that there are christian references as well
"They can be a great people, Kal-El, if they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all -- their capacity for good -- I've sent them you, my only son.''
the special effects are spectacular as well, the major one being the bank robbery and the plane save. after 20yrs it better be...

Classic moments in the movie:
-the Kid and baddie playing the piano on the boat
-the “it’s a Bird. no it a plane , its, Su..” moment.
-great caesars ghost

Overall, effects was good, sound was good, acting was good as well. story was so-so.
Entertaining is all I can say.
I give it an 8/10.
