superman returns : My take

I give the movie to thumbs up; good plot, good sub plots, good characters. The only problem I have with it is the same problem I had with the later Superman movies in the series (i.e. 3 and 4) It departs a ways from the comic book. My major problem with the older ones is Superman having powers that he never had, like rebuilding the wall of China with somekind of magic eye beam (superman 4). This one was very true to the powers that superman has, its just some changes in the characters that I personally would have preffered not have happened but they make sense and work well in the story of the movie. I think Brandon Routh does a great job stepping into the role and keeping true to the character as Reeves played him. This is one of the best movies in the Superman series. That's my take anyhow.
