At the Movies: Man of Steel makes a triumphant return

By CHRISTY LEMIRE
AP Movie Critic

Finally this summer, the hype is justified.

“Superman Returns” is everything you'd want it to be. It's reverential of the source material, yet a unique film all its own. It's steeped in decadent art-deco mood and details, yet completely current. It's joyous with the possibility of discovery, yet deeply moving in its melancholy. It should satisfy purists and attract new converts.

SUPERMAN RETURNS

Director: Bryan Singer

Cast: Brandon Routh, Kevin Spacey, Kate Bosworth, James Marsden, Parker Posey
