Prof. Blanchard and I took advantage of a special offer here in Boise, and if the theater manager 
was correct, we were among the first people in the nation to see Superman Returns tonight. I can give it an enthusiastic thumbs up, and I believe Prof. Blanchard agrees with me. The characters are by and large well developed (certainly the Man of Steel is) and the story line, while having some holes, is quite compelling. The film has a nice blend of character, action, and humor. It is a surprisingly funny movie. I have my quibbles with the film (e.g., it could have used one more round of editing) overall it is a fine superhero film, perhaps just one notch down from the Spiderman films. Go see Superman Returns.
Update: PP has seen Superman. I also saw Cars last week and give it a hardy endorsement.
