he returns...finally...

...does good ole clark kent a.k.a. kal-el of krypton otherwise known as...




am very much looking forward to seeing how the son of jor-el is portrayed in this new conceptualisation of the man of steel...

so far the critics have been wowed, to say the least...

Variety magazine's critic said it was "grandly conceived, sensitively drawn [and] never self-consciously hip". "It is sincere, with an artistic elegance and a genuine emotional investment in the material," he wrote.

The Hollywood Reporter, meanwhile, saluted "a heartfelt Superman movie that plays to a broad audience". Routh, it continued, plays the comic book character "with honesty [and] winning fortitude".

And Newsweek's David Ansen wrote: "From the start of this gorgeously crafted epic, you can feel that Singer has real love and respect for the most foursquare comics superhero of them all. "Newcomer Routh may or may not be a real actor, but he effortlessly lays claim to the iconic role."

His comments were echoed by Harry Knowles on the Ain't It Cool News website, who described Superman Returns as "the film I was hoping and dreaming for". "Just as Batman Begins relaunched an ailing Batman, it sends Superman into the stratosphere," he wrote.
