Superman Returns! Two days early!

I saw Superman! (No significant spoilers ahead.)

Short review: the movie was well worth paying for. Go see it tomorrow.

Longer review:
Going into it, I was worried about this movie. Parts of the trailer seemed really cool, and Brian Singer (the director) did a great job with the X-Men franchise—you know, the one Brett Ratner just butchered? But, generally speaking, I find Superman to be an incredibly boring superhero. I mean, he’s basically invincible, except for some random substance they just made up so he could be put in peril. I enjoyed the first two Superman movies (with Christopher Reeve), but more for the depiction of Clark Kent than for Superman’s heroics. And Singer cast a no-name (Brandon Routh) in the lead role, a decision that would either make or break the film.
