"Superman Returns" continues the plot of the fourth episode of Superman in 1987. The film is a drama around Superman's feelings and responsibilities. Compared with the Superman series which always takes action drama as the biggest selling point, this film pays more attention to embodying Superman as an ordinary person, even the fragile and helpless side. Such a superman, although not perfect, is more real and more popular with movie fans.
The story of this film continues "Superman" and "Superman 2", which saves him from retelling the already-known story, and also allows him to directly take the audience to the middle of the story. The superman in "Superman Returns" is more heroic than 80% of the protagonists in modern superheroes. Brian Singer expresses very clearly in the film-Superman needs to save mankind. This is his desire and purpose. In this superman, the audience saw a pure hero. He cared about the people around him the same, never favoring anyone, even if this person is his love.
"Superman Returns" is not just a sequel to the first two Superman movies, it is perhaps the best in the series. It combines romance and fantasy adventure and is unparalleled in a superhero manga adaptation movie.
This exaggerated movie is neither great nor short (2 hours 21 minutes), but it is still very interesting.
