Superman Returns Receiving Rave Reviews |
|
Critic reviews are pouring in for Superman, opening this coming Wednesday, and so far major critics are in 100% agreement that it is a great movie. Here are some quotes:
"Singer aroused a feeling that I, as a victim of Chronic Summer Superhero Fatigue Syndrome, wasn't expecting: I felt happy to have Superman back, as if I'd actually missed the guy."
~David Ansen, Newsweek
"While Routh is the same age as Reeve when he played the role, Routh's Superman is older in spirit. His Superman has known heartbreak and loss. He thinks about his late father and must consider the possibility that he might have a son. He even faces his own mortality. In other words, Singer wants to put human emotions into his alien superhero, and for the most part, he succeeds."
~Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter
".Cinematographer Newton Thomas Sigel Newton Thomas Sigel has contributed significantly to giving the film a fantastically clear, clean and stable look; "Superman Returns" is an unalloyed pleasure simply to behold."
~Todd McCarthy, Variety
".The surprise of Superman Returns is that it isn't a funky, ambitious conceptual reimagining, like last summer's Batman Begins. This really is your father's Superman; it re-creates - and updates, though just barely - the universe Donner invented."
~Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
".The best Hollywood movies always knew how to sneak a beguiling subtext into a crowd-pleasing story. Superman Returns is in that grand tradition. That's why it's beyond Super. It's superb."
~Richard Corliss, Time
Superman Returns is rated PG-13 for Action Violence. It opens nationwide on June 28.
