REVIEW
There are few movies that warrant a running time beyond two hours. This is not one of them. Despite the fact there is lots of action almost from the get-go, better editing would eliminate some of the dull parts that drag on too long and you wind up having to sit through a 2½-hour film.

As a new twist to the story, we see that Superman has a romantic side to him and has to deal with relationships while “saving the world”. It’s a lot to ask of anybody.

CLASSIFICATION
for some intense action violence.
