Superman Has Returned

Today was the exclusive BK Corporation screening of the new Warner Bros. film, Superman Returns, and I graciously accepted the invite to attend. Not at all did I expect for the movie to be enjoyable, but contrary to my own belief, it was actually a great flick. Need a quick synopsis? Fine. The Man of Steel (Brandon Routh) has returned to the city of Metropolis after a five year hiatus, just in time to try and pick up the pieces with his old flame, Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth). Meanwhile, the evil Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey) and his goons are working on their whole take-over-the-world plan. The acting was acceptable and there were lots of little jokes along the way to keep smiles on the audience's faces. What I found funny was seeing James Marsden in a DC Comics film, because we all know him as Cyclops from the X-men movies which are all based on Marvel comics. Aren't those two companies rivals? Maybe that's why he had such an miserably short part in X3. Anyway, Superman Returns is chock-full of computer generated excitement and there is a nice little surprise waiting for fans of the hero. With a bit of a cliffhanger ending, I guess you can expect to see a sequel in the near future, but for now you can catch the first in theaters June 28th.
