Superman Returns-5/10
A boring, uninventive, suffocated slog that tries too hard to pay homage to the previous films so much that it fails both as an extension of the original 2 it's supposed to follow and a platform for future movies that could've been.
The actors, Routh especially, are so bogged down in trying to playv an actor playing a character that it comes off as a high budget fan film.
The recycling of plot, motives, lines, and assumptions in knowing the source material going ruined this movie.
As much as I disliked Man of Steel, I respect that it very much tried to pave its own way as a new direction for its title character.
Returns just apes the original and isn't even fun in doing so
