It's worth seeing for Affleck alone, deftly communicating the distance between the put-on cardboard debonairness of this hunk-about-town and the gnawing uncertainties beneath his Superman outfit.

Reeves had an easy but peppy presence that was very likable, and Affleck's moroseness doesn't do him justice.

... even though parts of the picture don't quite hold together, in the end, it sticks with you.

In this bland, ultimately dull reimagining, the question of who killed Superman turns out to be less of a mystery than a plodding attempt at what has been done so much better before.
