Episode Synopsis

After the disappointing failure of Superman IV: The Quest for Peace and how it nearly killed the Superman franchise for the course of 20 years, we go to 2006 and we were treated back on film with “Superman Returns” and here we have a movie that I initially hated at first on TV, but over the years I’ve grown to like this one for what it is. So let’s talk about how underrated and overhated Superman Returns is and why it deserves another chance. Also go into the criticisms and some of the ridiculous comments about this movie people complain or bring up.#SupermanReturns #BrandonRouth #KateBosworth #KevinSpacey #SamHuntington #FrankLangella #EvaMarieSaint #KalPenn #ParkerPosey #JamesMarsden #Superman2025 #TheRoadtoSuperman2025*Timecodes:*0:00 - intro/cold opener0:19 - review starts 1:57 - production history of Superman Returns/reflections 8:07 - plot synopsis 8:42 - the light (pros)26:30 - the dark (cons)32:59 - overall thoughts/rating35:11 - conclusion and ending SypnosisWhile Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey) plots to destroy him once and for all, the Man of Steel (Brandon Routh) returns after a long absence to a much-changed world.
