Superman Returns

2/4 stars

Superman is a character whose greatness and stature tend to distract from the need for personality. The more iconic and reverent a Superman story tries to be, the more boring it gets. This is the sad fact with this film. Almost too dull to sit through, and even if you have the endurance, it's a joyless experience. They should try making Death and Return of Superman into a movie. The crazy cast of characters might introduce some fun into the mix.
