One of my regular visits on the web is to Dark Horizons. I’ve always appreciated their reviews. Anyway, they’ve just added themselves the massively positive reviews being given about Superman Returns. Here’s what they had to say:
“Superman is back and the wait for his return is finally over. Was it worth it? Absolutely and in every respect. This is a monumental classic of the genre, a true successor to the Richard Donner classic of the original. This time, audiences will once again believe a man can fly. Director Bryan Singer has crafted a visual tour-de-force, a movie that succeeds in balancing eye popping 21st century visuals, with the heart and soul of a story-driven epic.
Brandon Routh is the perfect successor to Chris Reeve, and shows us a character that has both strength and vulnerability, while Kate Bosworth’s Lois Lane is beautifully realised. Spacey is pure genus as Lex Luthor and Frank Langella is a wonderful Perry White. This is one Superman for the ages, a soaring, wondrous adventure that will leave audiences breathless, and a truly breathtaking ride of a movie.
In this crowded summer season, the return of the Man of Steel is the perfect summer movie for the child in all of us, and once we hear that classic John Williams score, one is reminded that movies like these are a rarity. Forget the hype, and enjoy the return of one of the most extraordinary comic book characters ever created”.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
I should point out that every single review that has come out and published has been more than positive… they’ve been GUSHING!!! Some sites (like JoBlo.. who I like a lot) are reporting bad reviews… HOWEVER… they won’t say from who. The only thing they say is “We’ve heard that….”.
So yes, every single published Superman Returns Review so far has been glowing. The only bad thing is that it may be pushing my expectations too high. We’ll have to wait and wee.
