Superman Returns Summary
MPAA Rating: PG13
Director: Bryan Singer
Genres: Action, Science Fiction
Rating:
The Man of Steel returns to the big screen with this continuation of the icon's film legacy that picks up after the events of the first two Christopher_Reeve films. Some time has passed since the events of Superman II and the world has gotten used to life without Superman (Brandon_Routh) ever since his puzzling disappearance years earlier. Upon his return, he finds a Metropolis that doesn't need him anymore, while Lois Lane (Kate_Bosworth) has moved on with another young suitor Richard White (James_Marsden) in the meantime. As the hero begins to tackle the fact that life on Earth has continued without him, he is forced to face his old arch-nemesis Lex Luthor (Kevin_Spacey) and restore the life that was once his. Directed by Bryan_Singer from a script by the writing team of X-Men 2, Superman Returns marks a return to the screen for the man in tights, whose production history has seen many failed attempts including a famous near-miss from Tim_Burton and Kevin_Smith with Nicolas_Cage in the lead role, along with another from director McG and writer J.J. Abrams (Lost). Singer eventually won the prestigious gig when he pitched the idea to not tackle the origin story again, but continue with director Richard_Donner's original vision.
