This movie was disappointing, but then life is full of disappointments, isn't it? I had hopes for Superman Returns, as I had enjoyed both of Mr. Singer's X-Men flicks, but this one just wasn't particularly interesting or involving. The first hour-plus is very slow, overall the story falls flat, this particular Lex Luthor is a boring villain, and there are several other problems with the movie (like things that don't make sense). The acting by Mr. Routh and Ms. Bosworth is good, but that makes little difference when it's in service of a ho-hum story. I was left thinking that just about everything that can be done with the Superman concept in movies has already been done, and it's time to put it to rest, movie-wise.
