What's the story? For five years, Superman has been away from Earth, coaxed into space by a belief that Krypton may still exist. Finding nothing, he comes back to a changed world - not only has terrorism become rampant, but Lois Lane has married, started a family, and won the Pulitzer for her piece "Why the World Doesn't Need Superman". After a stop in Smallville to see his adopted mother, Superman is back in Metropolis, and Clark Kent has his old job back at the Daily Planet, with everyone still incredibly oblivious to his alter ego. But where there's Superman, there's Lex Luthor, and he is likely to be planning something dastardly - in this case, using a piece of pilfered kryptonite to grow an entirely new continent that he will control.
Reasons to watch this flick: This movie boasts of state-of-the-art special effects coupled with a storyline that will raise the legendary superhero back to it's cult status which it originally deserves. And yes, it definitely goes without asking... but I'm still skeptical of the cult status, because the Indian audience didnt't find the movie WOW! I wonder why? Anyway forget about the others, its MY review here and I still say that the movie is kick-ass. Right from the spectacular special effects to the action sequences, this movie will captivate you emotionally as well. This is Brandon Routh's debut movie and his portrayal as Superman is fantastic. Adding to this the veteran roles of Kevin Spacey and the beautiful Kate Bosworth.
So how much do I rate it? 5/5
