Superman returns was a good movie. Unfortunatly it was 15 years to late. Returns was a almost identical remake of the 1978 superman movie with Christopher reeves. Returns lacked a real villan and physical action, no one to challenge superman.
Just saw the airplane scene from Superman Returns. Say what you will about the movie, that scene is still one of the best goddamn moments in all of Superman filmdom.

Indeed. I also like the gatling gun scene. I have both timed so that when I see Superman Returns in the program guide, I know exactly when to tune in just to see those parts.
The reason I am so enamored with the plane scene is because it's the first time movie goers (certainly myself) are seeing Superman portrayed in the way "he should have been" in the Reeve movies, had they the tech back then. It just gives me da chills.

I'll say this for it, Brandon Routh was a great Superman, just in a boring movie.
Accurate tagline: 'Superman lifts a series of increasingly heavy objects: the Movie'
I don't know if I'd say that. When Lex is written well, he's one of the most fascinating villains in comics. That scene in All-Star Superman where Superman challenges Lex to do all the things he says he could have done if Supes hadn't been there is a great example of that.
