Superman Returns-7/10
I hadn't seen this since the day it hit theaters, and I initially hated it and found it boring. DVR'd on FX, and have to admit, much better than I remember, and, IMO, better than the recent Superman offering.

Loved Brandon Routhe as Superman. Has the charm, the looks, and he's very likeable. The whole son angle was a real drag, and completely unneeded, and it would have probably been more interesting if Metropolis rejected Superman when he first comes back, as a response to Lois Lane's article, just to give the "save the day" ending, and the people of Metropolis trying to save him, a bit more umph.

But overall, even though it feels like an extension of the first two films, rather than a strong sequel bringing something new, it's still good fun.
