I rented the movie last night and I'll tell you right now I wanted to like it. I wanted to like it because I love the first two films. But in my opinion Superman Returns was dreadful. I almost fell asleep during the middle of the movie.
Here is what bothered me. First off Brandon Routh was terrible. If Superman was gone for 5 years no reason why they couldn't find a slightly more mature and muscular actor to play the part. His portrayal of Clark was terrible. No where near Christopher Reeves. I think Kevin Spacey was fine as Lex, but he could have had some better lines, should have had some more screen time. I mean Superman didn't even defeat him, Kitty did! Come on! That's a joke man.
I like the whole idea of him being gone for 5 years and making a return. Bryan's directing was fine, but the script and story weren't any good. There was no excitement, no build up, nothing. I found Superman Returns to be a very disappointing and boring movie.
