Superman Returns!!! 38 Out Of 10!!! 12 Thumbs Up!!!

Ok let me start by saying that this is probably the most perfect superhero movie ever. It has everything! Action, adventure, suspense, romance and a kick ass villain. I may be biased because I think Superman is the coolest character of all time, but it really is that good! Kevin Spacey rocks your socks as Lex Luthor, the greatest criminal mind of our time. Now when I went into this movie I was worried that I had hyped it up so much in my head that it would never hold up to my expectations, but man was I wrong. I've already seen it twice for fucks sake! TWICE! It just came out on Tuesday! Brandon Routh as Superman was a damn good choice too! He resembles Chris Reeve not just in looks but in mannerisms as well. Kate Bosworth is sexy and smart in this as well, playing my new favorite Lois Lane, and Sam Hunnington as Jimmy Olsen was good as well. If I had to find one flaw in this movie it would be that Superman is a little creepy with Lois. She's moved on, has a kid and boyfriend and yet Superman throws the mack down on James Marsdens woman! He watches their family interact at home after work with his X-ray vision and creeps around her kid's room while he's sleeping! Superman? Supercreepy is more like it! And speaking of Marsden, that poor fucking guy! First he's Cyclops and Wolverine tries to steal his girl and now he's gotta compete with Superman?!?! Poor bastard indeed...

The story is damn near flawless and touches on certain elements of Superman and Superman II without actually being a sequel. The writers have said that it's not a sequel but a reimagining. Fuck that. This is what Superman 3 should have been. Fucking awesome. My only question is what's the next one gonna be called? Superman 2: The other second one? I dunno... Maybe go the Batman route and have Superman Unleashed or Superman Forever or Superman Returns Again. Personally I'm holding out for Superman 2: Electric Boogaloo. Yeah... That would be awesome! In closing I would like to say if you have not seen this movie you should go this weekend and check it out. I think it'll end up being the biggest movie of the year and will leave audiences believing once again that a man can fly.
