Wanted a family pizza flick last night and we watched Superman Returns. I know Bryan Singer is an unperson now but man, I had forgotten what a great superhero film this is.
Brandon Routh nails the "boy scout" optimistic Superman. After Zack Synder's three DC Murderverse disasters it was just nice to see Superman as a hero again. When Clark ran out into the street pulling his shirt apart and the John Williams score played my inner comic-book kid almost teared up.
