Truth, Justice and the American way...that's what Superman stands for. After a nearly 20 year hiatus, Superman returns to theaters...and this time, he was larger than life as I saw him at San Jose's Tech Museum - IMAX theater.
The story picks up from the end of Superman 2, where the Man of Steel returns from a 5 year trip in search his home planet, Krypton. To make a long story short, he comes back, fights crime, saves people, nearly dies and in the end flies into space in style. Brandon Routh does a fairly good job of imitating Christopher Reeves, but doesn't do a good job of portraying Superman. Nonetheless, the movie was entertaining for the 2.5 hours.
Personally, if one were to watch IMAX, one should watch it in San Francisco's Metreon and not at The Tech. The IMAX theater in San Francisco is a huge flat screen...whereas the one in San Jose is a dome. Sounds cool...but hard on the neck and eyes.
Superman Returns probably will not reclaim the role of Best Superhero from the likes of the Dark Knight, Batman. But he's still my favorite... and really, that's all that matters.

I saw it a Mercado. Even though he looks like he's 25, he's at least 35 years old, maybe older. It makes sense for Lois, since I rewatch The Original. She's at least six years younger than Supes, so she's around 30ish. But then, Superman ages slower than humans, so he'll look like 30 when he's 45 in earth years.
