Superman Returns

Genre:	Science Fiction & Fantasy

Again, not sure with what Category to put this one in. Anyway, moving on... This is definitely the movie that "BRIDGES THE GAP"; With Brandon Routh's almost [he's got bigger eyes, longer face and sexier bod] complete resemblance to the original Superman, Christopher Reeve, I'd say his legend lives on. It's been a long time since we had Superman on the bigscreen, though there've been some equally commendable tv series that continues to entertain us with the enormity that is Superman. If the great Christopher was still here, he'd be proud of him. In terms of his acting, He's a natural, no pretense and not to mention that he's beaten some of America's better actors who auditioned for the movie, snugging and walking away with the role. He played his role as if he's really one man with two personas: he is the clumsy-cute and charming Clark, and the main man Superman. After the late Christopher Reeve, would you have ever thought that someone would be as beautiful of a man as he is? Makes you think, isn't Brandon too beautiful to be real? Aw! As for the rest of the cast.. Kevin Spacey is not so convincing as Lex Luthor. He's not so villainy and he looked somewhat like Tom Hanks to me. I love Kate Bosworth as Lois and her being brunette, she's prettier with that than with blonde hair that makes her look older. Her acting was just right. I just found it dumb that Lois never noticed that it was Clark lying when she went to see Superman in the hospital. Haha, those writers?! And that cute kid that played Superman's son, Tristan Lake Leabu, is so cute with all the innocence and curiousity of a sickly kid [or thought to be] discovering he has super powers and a super dad. The whole of the movie was amazing, captivating. The sets are simply SUPERB, I would prefer to have watched it on iMax. Darn! The special effects are spectacular. The tights are a brighter blue and red, plus the insignia is rubberized. And they went from Christopher's black hair to Brandon's naturally brown hair who's do looks more real than the first Superman. Haha, I love it! The Superman we loved is more human in this flick than the movies we've seen before it. He deals with daily life problems, emotional twist and turns. He's not ordinary ['cause he's super] but we can surely relate. Like the song Superman says, It's not easy to be a superhero. You save the world one moment and when you're back in your ordinary human form, you still have situations and emotions you have to face. Oh, well! All in all, I don't know Bryan Singer but he did an EXCELLENT job so... HATS OFF TO YOU! ~And Christopher Reeve, you'll always be loved and the heart of your fans, including ME!, you'll always be Superman! God bless your soul, you are greatly missed and loved. LONG LIVE, SUPERMAN! I love you too, Brandon Routh!!~
