Episode #33 – Superman Returns

Superman Returns is our movie for this week. We discuss the things we liked about it, such as the performances by Routh and Spacey and the epic scenes of Superman saving people. And we also talk about the weaker points, like some of the story elements, Kate Bosworth, and an S shield that’s not big enough.
