Creativity starves insanity
Cutting it wide with a ticket close on expiration, the afternoon session of Superman Returns is better than expected. At least in terms of audience civility and general respect to the overall enjoyment for others.
John Williams' "Superman Theme" opens up the screen and with it brings along a stirring well and utter blast of hope and emotion. Nothing compares to listening to the score large and from around all sides surround.
Clean and with a powerful face and strong voice, Brandon Routh really displays this simple charisma that delivers the character. It's Superman right up there large and in the next scene, an effortless change into Clark Kent.
Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor really bones up on the smarts and actually poses a real threat to Superman. Luthor versus Superman and it's all on like Donkey Kong. Nasty work from the man. Nasty beyond compare really.
Superman Returns is essentially about the return of the icon, the ramifications of leaving others and the values of family.
Spotting Martin Place and York Streets as those of Metropolis in a few of the scenes proves to be some Sydneysider hawk eye fun.
