More verdicts on "Superman Returns"

Here’s why the critics will drive you crazy.

The New York Times says “Superman Returns” is “leaden.” Cox News Service calls it “a handsome, high-flying picture with epic ambitions.”

“The Man of Steel is back in a criminally mediocre, overlong wannabe epic filled with ridiculous leaps of faith and logic, looking somewhat dazed by his reawakening and straining to be relevant,” says Tom Long of the Detroit News. William Arnold of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer says, “The film is magnificently mounted, it moves like a speeding bullet and it’s so respectful of Superman traditions that even the pickiest of die-hard fans should love it.”
