Superman Returns

Description

"Superman Returns" is a 2006 superhero film directed by Bryan Singer and stars Brandon Routh as Superman. The film is set five years after the events of "Superman II" and ignores the events of "Superman III" and "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace". Superman returns to Earth after a five-year absence to find that Lois Lane has moved on with her life and has a child. Meanwhile, Lex Luthor is plotting to create a new continent using Kryptonian technology, which would cause massive destruction to the world.

The film received generally positive reviews, with critics praising Routh's performance as Superman and Singer's direction. However, some criticized the film for being too derivative of the original Superman films and for not taking enough risks. The film was also criticized for its slow pacing and lack of action scenes. Despite its mixed reception, the film was a financial success, grossing over $391 million worldwide.

"Superman Returns" was intended to launch a new series of Superman films, but plans for a sequel were eventually scrapped. Instead, the character was rebooted in 2013's "Man of Steel" and its sequels. While "Superman Returns" was not as successful as the filmmakers had hoped, it is still regarded by many as a solid entry in the Superman film series and an homage to the classic Christopher Reeve films.

Action & Adventure
A Good Day to Die Hard is the fifth installation of Die Hard franchise with Bruce Willis in leading role. The movie revolves around McClane's son who finds himself in troubles in Russia and his father who immediately hits the road to rescue the son from these troubles. But, as it happens, these troubles are just a top of the iceberg, the main troubles are ahead. When McClane steps on the Russia ground he realizes that it was the twisted plot implemented by Russian terrorists to get him caught upon the arrival. However, the situation is not so simple. Russian special forces are standing behind this turmoil have their own plans and McClane's capturing is just a part of these plans. This part, however turns to be unexpectedly hard one… which mean that explosions, endless alternating of action scenes, shotgun fire, detonating buildings and agonizing bad guys (all that stuff that we like so much in Die Hard franchise) are just a question of time. May be the plot is too classic and happy end is too predictable as well, but this is some kind of proven formula that works too good to be replaced with something else. Another "sweet" thing in the movie is Russian antagonist: Irina, a role performed by Juliya Snigir. And, if you wonder why this thing "sweet", you seem to be clueless who Juliya Snigir is – if so, just google her in Google Images with "Safe mode Off" – to learn what it does it mean.
