Superman Returns Official Superman Returns Discussion

I won’t lie, this still gives me a jolt of nostalgia:


I still consider this to be one of the best teasers for a CBM. Of course the Williams music and Brando voiceover go a long way but I remember being excited as hell seeing this for the first time.
 
Posted here on page 2 about 12 years ago and unfortunately my thoughts are pretty much still the same about this movie, despite the odd rewatch. I don't hate the film, but it's a flawed one and I do question a lot of the choices Singer made with regards to the storyline, trying to continue Donner's universe, and even casting in some cases.

One thing that has changed is that I probably appreciate Brandon Routh a bit more now. Coming off Superman Returns, I hadn't really seen him in anything else but with the passage of time (and his return to the role in CW's Crisis episodes), I've cut him a bit more slack. He was good in the role but I do feel he was somewhat hampered by the more melancholic characterization Singer created for the story.
