	CNS Movie Review: Superman Returns
		In his absence, she wrote a Pulitzer-winning editorial, "Why the World Doesn't Need Superman," to show just how over him she is. But her thesis proves shortsighted as Superman's return rekindles old feelings; not to mention arch-nemesis Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey) is once again plotting mass destruction.
		Superman's body may be indestructible to everything but kryptonite, but his heart is just as breakable as the next guy's.
		At its heart, "Superman Returns" explores the relevance of virtue in a contemporary culture that is at once both cynical about idealism and hungry for heroism.

	Superman Returns - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Superman Returns is a 2006 superhero film based on the fictional DC Comics character Superman.
		Superman's return to Earth generates much of the character development in the film, particularly for Lois Lane.
		Superman is rescued by Lois and Richard, flies into the stratosphere to renew his strength by direct exposure to the rays of the sun, and is ultimately able to prevent large-scale catastrophe by lifting the newly-formed landmass directly out of the ocean and throwing it into space, at significant cost to his health.

	Superman Returns (2006): Reviews
		Superman Returns is a lush and enthralling piece of adventure storytelling that's both revisionist AND reverential, putting a timely spin on a timeless character without violating his primal appeal.
		Superman Returns is not only a credit to the first two Superman movies; it may be the best of the series.
		Superman can't lift an island of kryptonite, and he has a S on his cape.

	Filmtracks: Superman Returns (John Ottman)
		Superman Returns: (John Ottman) In the inevitable rash of superhero franchise resurrections, even the Man of Steel isn't immune from studio unoriginality and profit taking.
		He gave Singer and the producers several options in Superman Returns, recording additional pieces, some of which loyal re-recordings of original Williams cues, that were ultimately rejected, but showed Ottman's intent for goodwill and may even be used in extended versions of the film on DVD someday.
		Superman Returns is a success for Ottman in every regard, and should serve as a fine example of how to intelligently and successfully score a sequel or remake.

		This first look at Superman Returns— due in theaters in June 2006 —; shows that the skin-tight costume stretches over only the actor's muscles and frame, without the augmented armored pecs or abs of recent movie superheroes.
		Superman's yellow belt is more golden, and his cape is a deep scarlet.
		Superman's body is the key to his power, Singer says.

	Superman Returns (2006) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The whole point of the character of Superman is to provide a fantastic superhuman persona who is so alien and so vastly superior in terms of physical being, knowledge, and morality, that he becomes a mirror through which we are forced to critically examine our own social, political, emotional, and health problems.
		Superman is concerned with more fundamental issues such as whether half the world's population is going to live out the day.
		Yet he still manages to find time to rekindle a dysfunctional relationship with love interest Lois Lane, and to be inspired to prove himself with a flourish of light-speed heroic antics to regain his esteem among a people whose cynicism and self-contempt have apparently gotten the better of them (film snobs all?).

	Reviews: Superman Returns - Christianity Today Movies
		Superman Returns not only stands on the shoulders of the first two movies, it also retraces their footsteps, sometimes in small ways (e.g., numerous bits of dialogue are recycled here, and nothing new or fresh is done with them), and sometimes in very big ways.
		What's more, the Superman of the movies has shown a remarkable tendency to shrug off his responsibilities—first abandoning his powers (and thus the safety of the world) so he could sleep with Lois in Superman II, and now abandoning the world altogether for several years prior to the events of Superman Returns.
		Superman Returns is rated PG-13 for some intense action violence, including rescue from falling objects, machine gun fire (some of which bounces off Superman's chest), regular bullets (one of which bounces off of his eye, in close-up), and some beating, kicking, and stabbing with Kryptonite.

		Superman Returns has taken the superhero genre to a new level of emotional depth and artistery.

		With them will be parents of both sexes, affecting tedium but actually in the throes of a hidden thrill, hoping for a nostalgic return to the Christmas of 1978, when they necked in the back row to the surge of the John Williams score and the voice of Christopher Reeve.
		Saint, her beauty still rendered mysterious by that faint air of distraction, plays the mother who adopted Superman when he first fell to earth, and to whom he now pays a return plummet, travelling back to the family homestead by fireball.
		I imagine not, if only because “Superman Returns” tries so hard to qualify as family viewing, which is another way of saying that its vague spiritual leanings resemble those of a sophisticated child.

	FlickFilosopher.com: Superman Returns (review)
		I haven't read the Superman comics or seen any of the previous movies, and the entire time I felt as if I was missing something, some essential background information treated as if it were obvious common knowledge that needed to be understood to make the fabric of the story make sense.
		Superman felt dead and lifeless, more inhuman that is appropriate for a character that’s meant to be struggling with his human nature over his colossal abilities.
		Besides, the entire point of Superman Returns was to be a setup movie after which a sequel could be made involving everything we all want to see: super-villains, a faster plot not involving Superman reintroducing himself to the world, and a more forward relationship between Supes and Lois.

	Superman Returns
		Superman is back in a huge way, and the big fella in the primary colors again has a bright future ahead of him.
		Superman's rescue of a plummeting jetliner is executed so stunningly that it really feels like the return of a long-lost hero.
		Finally, the state of Superman's relationships with Lois, her son and Richard adds a layer both to the Superman myth and to all those supposed spiritual connections that's a bit unsettling.

		I also wasn’t bothered so much by Superman’s attitude towards Lois (there’s a reason she never married the other guy, after all) and he did allow the boyfriend to be the one to save her at the end.
		If Superman traveled for the last five years at less than, though perhaps infinitesimally close to, the speed of light, then it’s true that he would’ve aged more slowly as a function of his speed as a fraction of c.
		It’s not like Superman went up to the first hot journalist and starting hitting on her - this is a woman with whom he had a prior relationship, one that technically didn’t end.

	Variety.com - Reviews - Superman Returns (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Arriving a half-hour in, sequence is a doozy, as the burning jet eventually plummets straight for the ground (unavoidable shades of "United 93") until being gently stopped at the last second by the Caped One.
		But Lois remains unimpressed, to the point that a rebuffed Superman takes a lonely flight to Lois' waterfront home (with its gorgeous view of Metropolis) in order to use his X-ray abilities to eavesdrop on her seemingly enviable family life.
		The villain really does seem to have Superman on the ropes at one point, but after a somewhat distended final stretch, the real climax comes in a touching scene between Superman and little Jason, who may or may not be super himself.

		What the child does is cement the fact that lois has MOVED ON and superman's never ever had to deal with this problem before, and that is what makes us able to relate to him, the fact that we all have dealt with this very problem before.
		Superman returns to Earth and has to juggle his ruined relationship with Lois while Lex Luthor is trying to kill and kills "billions!".
		Meanwhile, the world is DYING to know where Superman's been, and Lois is basically forced by White to give him an interview, no matter how much she does not want to.

	Superman Returns Movie Review - Superman Returns Movie Trailer - The Boston Globe
		``Superman Returns" travels from Metropolis to the North Pole, from outer space to the ocean's depths, but in the end it feels just a little Smallville.
		The role of Superman has to be played by a newcomer -- a known star would bring baggage along -- and like Reeve in 1978, Brandon Routh is tall, dark, handsome, and so sincere as to be faintly comical.
		Mayhem junkies will be happy with an early sequence where Superman stops a plane from nose-diving into a baseball stadium, and there's a funny slow-motion gag that illustrates the impact of a bullet on the hero.

	Superman Returns - Movie Review
		You are bound to leave Superman Returns buzzing about "the scene." It's our first real glimpse in the film of the Man of Steel in action, the first genuine indication that the spandex-clad savior has, indeed, returned.
		But a massive power outage caused by Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey) prevents a smooth transition, so Superman (newcomer Brandon Routh) must quickly separate the speeding crafts, catapult the rocket through the stars, then rush back to earth to catch the now-burning airliner before it lands on the pitcher's mound of a populated baseball diamond.
		In between, Superman skips through minor action scenes that fail to measure up with the almighty shuttle rescue.
