have te ever seen the very first Superman movie? if te have then te will notice the similarity between this movie and that one.but even though there is some similarity's there is also many differences as well. the movie takes place 5 yrs after the last one with Superman crashing to earth after looking for his birth place of krpyton.a lot has changed.lois lane has apparently moved on considering she has a 5yr old son and is engaged to perry white's nephew.i will not give away the movie but it is a very thrilling movie.brandon routh plays a very good Superman while giving tribute to christopher reeve.the movie refers to a lot of phrases from the first movie.all in all this is a awesome movie with a lot of great actors.more people should rally around this new tale of a inspiring classic.
