Film "his, then, is as it should be: An icon brought from the printed page to the big screen by talented people who respect the character but also feel liberated to try new things. Bryan Singer's Superman Returns is amazing entertainment, a vital, exciting vision of a pop-culture legend that brings respect for the past and re-invention for the future to the screen in equal measure. Superman Returns isn't just great popcorn entertainment; it's great film making, period, with the look, tone and feel of the final production all perfectly honed to create a bold, engaging, 157-minute long daydream of heroism, bravery and love." -- James Rocchi for Cinematical
Well thank Krypto for that. Frankly if this hadn't been good I would have left film studies. Well no, that's overstating things but if Singer hadn't created a masterpiece it would have made the tragedy of X3 even greater. Cinematical has a habit for hyperbole but I'd say they get things right 97% of the time. So we can all watching him sour. I might even start watching Smallville...
