Warner Bros gave us permission to run a brief and spoiler-free review of Superman
Returns right away. Expect a full review as the release date of the film approaches. But, for now, here you go.
Abridged Superman Returns Review
Superman Returns brings back all the nostalgia from the classic series with the modern joy of the digital box of toys. Superman can do anything now and it can be shown in intimate detail. The new film never loses the sense of magic from the classic Christopher Reeve series but takes great pride in upping the ante of every super feat. Kevin Spacey is the best part of the movie. He's got the perfect relish of his own evil genius but can get dark in the moments where his scheming becomes more than harmless. Brandon Routh does an impeccable Christopher Reeve that feels like continuity, not a rip-off. Parker Posey is the perfect sassy Luthor babe and Kate Bosworth brings her Blue Crush empowerment to Lois Lane.
There you have it!
Superman Returns will fly into theatres on June 28th.
