Superman Returns
Available on NOW, iTunes
There's little rust on the Man of Steel and his reappearance after swooping into cinemas in 1978 barely shows signs of mental fatigue. Brandon Routh winningly forges a rough approximation of Christopher Reeve's Superman even if Kate Bosworth is miscast as his former lover Lois Lane. Lex Luther's (Kevin Spacey) world domination plans veer on the barking while X-Men director Bryan Singer conjures up the odd off-kilter moment and a splendid crashing plane setpiece above New York.
