I really liked Superman Returns. I had heard it described as a "love letter" to the first two movies--and that is one love letter I'm proud to sign, with a little heart dotting the "I" in my name, and a whole bunch of XXXs and OOOs afterwards. More than that, it's a love letter to Superman in general--which is more than I can say for the "Snyderverse" movies. I had heard others say Snyder claims to be a Superman fan, and I find that hard to believe, given his professed admiration for The Dark Knight Returns. Superman did not come off too well in that one, did he? He was reduced to a government chump, doing their bidding no matter how harmful or distasteful. That's not something I particularly care to see.
I liked Henry Cavill as Superman, and hope to see him again as Superman--but I would rather have someone else direct. Bring in Patty Jenkins, or bring back Bryan SInger. Then perhaps we could have a good Superman movie again.
