Superman Returns: An IMAX 3D Experience (2006)



PG-13

Starring: Brandon Routh, Kate Bosworth, Kevin Spacey, James Marsden, Parker Posey, and Marlon Brando (Archive).

Set to take place after Superman II, the story starts off with Superman's return, after a 5 year long search for his homeland. Lex Luthor conveniently resurfaces simultaneously, providing the plot against our favorite caped superhero.

Brandon Routh did a good job, though really, there's not much to playing superman except for smiling and delivering pointless phrases. Kevin Spacey was what I expected. Kate Bosworth sucked. She played the usually straight-forward, bossy, almost bitchy Lois Lane as a weak character, and it didn't fit well. Parker Posey played a good character to break the drama, and you couldn't help but like her as Kitty. It was visually entertaining with great CG effects.

**** 4 Stars.

I gave this 4 stars only because the 3D and IMAX version of the movie was really astonishing. And c'mon, let's admit it, Brandon Routh in 3D, that's enough! Otherwise, I'd give the movie 2.5 stars. It lacked plot and character development, and it disappointed me.
