Wow "Superman Returns" was awesome!

The special effects were great and the story line was interesting.



I was pleasantly surprised that Brandon Routh did Superman justice or should I say Christopher Reeve justice.

I prefer Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor rather than Gene Hackman. Kevin brought across a more kniving, calculated Lex whereas Gene seemed more psycho.

I highly recommend, at least, watching the first Superman prior to seeing this new one. You will see how they made a concerted effort to bring them all together.

It also helps that this was a free movie and free concessions through work contacts. Mini Red loved wearing a VIP pass. Every so often through the movie she would whisper, "I'm a VIP!"

    Red, I don't think Bryan Singer was making Superman, I think he was making the New Testament. Did you ever see more Christian motifs outside an actual religious movie??

    Mod: Not sure about the christian motifs but if you think about it... Religion/Bible/New Testament writings tend to be the biggest inspiration for most movies, books etc. It has drama, sex, love, death, sacrifice and more.

    Superman = Jesus
    Lois Lane = Mary Magadelene
    Kryptonite = our sins
    Jor-El = God
    Jimmy Olsen = Peter
    Lex Luther = Satan
    Martha Kent = Mary

    That was fun to put together. Maybe it does have christian motifs? lol
