What a film! I had put off seeing Superman Returns both in the theaters then on DVD for a while, out of no particular reason. I guess i just wasn't as interested as I was in seeing other films like the last X-Men film, or Fantastic Four earlier.
So now that I have seen it I find myself straddling the fence between liking the film and being disappointed. It is so very well done but it's not your typical superhero film. I won't give away vital plot points, so I'll just say that while the movie is very good, there's too little hard action and too much heartfelt emotional scenes that sort of negate each other to make only a good film instead of a spectacular or great film.
