When Superman Returns came out in 2006, the general public gave it mixed reviews. Some praised it for its dashing visuals and respect to the series before it,helmed by Christopher Reeve. Others hated it for its slow demeanor. Me? I admit that I wasn't a huge fan, but I also don't remember finishing it.
So there I was at my local video store when I saw this on DVD for a buck--I bought it (what a steal) and watched it. The shock rolled over my face that a film I didn't like became one of the most pleasing movie experiences with one of my favorite comic book characters. Prepare to be divided: this is a POSITIVE review of Superman Returns.
