i was very excited to see this return of superman, but it's a little dissapointed for me. Brandon Routh is a handsome guy and extremely good looking, but in acting, he still needs more practice. Can't see through his eyes when he felt sad or happy. So plain. Kate Boswort is the only great attraction to this movie. As for Kevin as Lex Luthor... i can't see his evil side. The story overall is too simple and lack of fighting. X-Men is a lot better than this flick!!
