HE"S BAAAACK

Yes, the man of steel is back. After a five year absentce, he journeyed to find the remains of his home planet Krypton, Superman finds that some things do change and some things remain the same. The one thing that remains the same is the evil antics of Lex Luther, here in the person of KEVIN SPACEY, doing his imitation of Gene Hackman. This time Lex wants to use some very powerful elements to create his own continent. It seems he was released from prison when Superman failed to show up to testify against him in a case. Spacey rants and raves and bullys his girl, this time played by PARKER POSEY. The big change?  Supe's only true love, Lois Lane, is the mother of a five year old  boy. It is a new world for the man in the red cape. At the same time Clark Kent returns to the Daily Planet after five years. Gee, can you figure that one out? It seems no one in this film can.                                 The effects are very well done, the love story is well told, and BRANDON ROUTH looks very good as Superman, he resembles and sounds so much like Christopher Reeve it's uncanny. However, I didn't feel he had the spark that Reeve's did. The action scenes were good, but somewhat limited.  Don't get me wrong, i enjoyed the film very much, but i just feel it lacked something.                          For any one who enjoyed the t. v. series, look for Noel Neil and Jack Larson, the series Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen in cameo roles.                                                             Plus there is a really nice twist to the story. BRYON SINGER ( the first two X- Men) did a fine directing job.           SEE YA AT THE MOVIES     CLYDE
