Superman Returns: The Complete Shooting Script by Michael Dougherty, Dan Harris, Bryan Singer

birdmanseven's review against another edition

5.0

I just love this movie. Always have, always will. Brandon Routh's take on Superman manages to encompass both his great power and his great goodness. The script was an interesting read. While it mostly stays true to what you see on screen, it differs in some key ways: we get an opening scene on the ruins of Krypton, several scenes are re-sequenced, Lex's gang gets more development, seeds of a sequel with the New Krypton island are firmly planted, and Lex's manipulation of Superman gets more play.
I also enjoyed the storyboard sequences included in the book.
