Reviewing Movies

Pity poor Brandon Routh. Even if he is a couple years older than his Lois in Superman Returns he looks so much like her younger brother that he makes her look like a cradle robbing Cougar. He is in fact two years younger than Tom Welling who plays the teenaged Superman in waiting Clark in Smallville. Kent farm is certainly more like my conception of a dirt farmer's abode than the picture postcard perfect hobby farm on Smallville. Routh looks good in tights but he doesn't look old enough to have been Lois' love interest, worked at the Daily Planet and have spent 5 years in hiatus. In fact the movie belongs to Lex Luthor played by Kevin Spacey. By comparison Superman is just an also ran.
