After a long visit to the lost remains of the planet Krypton, the Man of Steel returns to earth to become the peoples savior once again and reclaim the love of Lois Lane.
What's this? A blockbuster made it to my list? Hey, I'm not one of those people who turn their nose down on a film because it grossed $391 million worldwide. If a movie rocked my world and the world of many others, how can it sucked?
Permission to geek out.
This film was awesome! What could have easily been a disaster (X-Men 3, I'm looking at you) was a such a great add-on to an already established franchise (and no, I am not counting Superman III or IV which just adds more credit to this movie). It had subtle and not-so subtle references to Superman I and II as well as "The Death of Superman", Brandon Routh shared the mannerisms of Christopher Reeve that made Clark Kent Clark Kent, Superman looked so idealistically unreal, there is an total "mark-out" scene involving an airplane and a baseball stadium - what more could you ask for?
Bryan Singer knows how to make a comic book movie.
