Superman Returns

Yes, indeedy he sure does. A good rendition of the Chrisover Reeve movies - fun and light, if a little too long. Kevin Spacey is brilliant as Lex Luthor. I won't rabbit on about the movie here. Only two things - firstly, I give it 3.5 stars, and secondly, drop over to planet telex, where there is a discussion paper on the movie, and a the first teasers for Spiderman 3...

(ah yes, a darker superhero after my own heart...)

Was this reviewer watching the same movie we were?

Superman Returns
In this new sequel, Superman returns to Earth after having been missing for six long years. What he finds astounds him — the world he knew has changed for the worse. In his absence, the forces of evil have regrouped like never before. Even Lex Luthor, once an outcast, has risen to the heights of power in Metropolis. And when an old enemy from Krypton reappears, Superman must fight his battle against evil like never before, amidst a world that has forgotten what it's like to have a hero.
