Simply Marvelous!!!

Most young people today have no idea what a real movie is. They know nothing about narrative, antagonists, or what a hero actually is. Audience's want action and adventure without a plot. Audiences have lost the art of enjoying a movie.

The original Superman as played by Christopher Reeve was more than just a movie when it came out. It utilized the blue screen in a way that would create a revolution in movie making style. Audience's actually thought Superman could really fly. Christopher Reeve became the modern day iconic physical representation of the comic character. None of the sequels ever captured what the first movie did. Even the original score became an anthem for fans.

Superman Returns, once again captures the child in us all and makes us think that a man can actually fly. A hero that represents "truth and justice." Someone with great power that transcends racial and cultural barriers.

Brandon Routh reminds us of Christopher Reeve and then adds to Superman with a bit of his own style. What more can any Superman movie fan ask for? Kevin Spacey reminds us of Gene Hackman. Both actors of substantial caliber, with Spacey's Luther equitable, and just as wonderful.

Iconic and Christ similarities? Sure. Similar to the first movie? You bet. A stale score? Heck no. They even make it more appealing. Makes you believe in Superman? Yes! The movie makes you want to click your hills together and repeatedly say "I believe, I believe..." Forget the critics. You can't not like something about this movie!
