When I first heard they were making another Superman, I didn't care. I didn't want to see it. I grew up with Christopher Reeves being Superman. When I saw pictures of Brandon Routh in the Superman outfit, I thought maybe he could pull it off. He even looked like a Superman, even had the cleft in the chin. Then I learned Kevin Spacey was playing Lex Luthor. Come on! Kevin Spacey? But when I finally got to see the previews, I thought maybe I should see this. When I did, I was blown away. I fell in love with the movie. Brandon Routh pulled off the role of Superman and Clark Kent very well. He was a nobody who got cast in a very memorable and important role. You either fit the role or you failed. He definitely fit the role. And the outfit. They changed the color of the cape to a darker red, and it works. If your skeptical about this movie, you have every right, but give it chance. Who knows, you might even like it. I did. I hope they make a few more with Routh, who knows, a new era for Superman might begin this century.
