Subject: Superman Returns.

Saw this the other day. Bran Routh is excellent in the title role, although he can seem a bit young, and when they decide to pay too much homage to Christopher Reeve his performance suffers. Kate Bosworth is good as Lois Lane, and a generally subued Kevin Spacey is excellent as Lex Luthor.

The story itself involves Superman returning to Earth after a five year absence in which he was investigating what astronomers thought was the discovery of Krypton. Meanwhile, Lex has stolen the crystals from Superman's Fortress of Solitude and plans to erect a new continent from the ocean floor which will flood and eclipse the U.S.

There's also a twist which is handled nicely, although I'm unsure about how really necessary it is, and how wise it is for future installments. That aside, the effects are fantastic, and the filmmakers actually pay attention to physics (i.e. in trying to stop a plane, Superman applies so much pressure he inadvertently rips off the wing).

Ultimately, it's a very good return for the Superman franchise.
