Superman Returns / USA/Australia / 2006

Singer’s film is a terrific piece of nostalgic filmmaking, filled with lush glow that accompanies and also counters his often somber tone. I’m also not so sure why there has been such an outcry regarding Singer’s visual allusions to Superman being a Christ-like figure, especially since Superman regularly appears as such in the film’s source material as comic-book writers and artists tend to readily admit this deliberate depiction due to Superman’s dominate and imperishable nature. It’s just a tad too long.
