Superman

I was glad to see that the good guys including Superman have returned to being unconflicted. In this one, the people of Metropolis and the world are confused and filled with moral amibguity. A fitting cautionary reflection. Great fast pacing and twisty flying camera shots made it feel like riding a rollercoaster. Standout performaces go to Mister Terrific and Eve Teschmacher. The Teschmacher character in particular gave an homage to the ditzy Lorelei Ambrosia from Superman 3. Wendell Peirce gives us the best Perry White we’ve seen since Jackie Cooper.
