This movie was more than I expected!!I was not really into going, but am really glad I did.
Fell short of my expectations, they tried too hard to "humanize" the "man of steel." And what`s the deal? - he can barely stop the airplane from crashing, has trouble lifting the boat, the island almost kills him, and then suddenly he has the strength to lift the whole massive thing into space.... ?
I was a tremendous fan of the original movies starring Christopher Reeve, however I felt this new version lacked in many areas. The story moved slowly and lacked geniuine pull - frankly it seemed a little illogical! The actors portraying Lois Lane and Superman, were not quite a fit for me. Naturally, it`s a younger cast (read: More marketable today), but Mr. Routh had BLUE CONTACT LENSES on! Are there no blue-eyed actors with dark hair and who are tall? Kate, sorry, but you were a weak Lois Lane. In any case, I hope the next one is better, but rent the original 3 Supermans and see the difference (keep in mind the era it was made and don`t ren
An epic film that will go down in history as the most anticipated movie of all time and that actually lived up to all the hype. A movie for both fans and newcomers to the most noticeable superhero ever created. I cherished this movie in all of its glory and feel it deserves a spot on the top 10 list of this years movies.
Brandon Routh is soooo HOT and I just have to see the movie again because of him.
Superman Returns was overall a good movie experience on the Big screen. I was very skeptical if Brandon Routh could do a good job playing the role of both Clark Kent and Superman compared to Christopher Reeves, but Brandon proved he definitely has some great acting skills .He has performed his role to the fullest satisfying and keeping everyone’s heart happy. I don’t think any one else could have done a better job acting as Superman than Brandon Routh. Apart from Brandon Routh, Kevin Spacey as usual displayed his talents overwhelmingly. The movie was designed to recapture all the Superman fans and prepare them for the upcoming Superman movi
To tell you the truth, I enjoyed the movie a lot. Brandon (he`s hot) who played superman really did look like superman the original. It had excitement, it was kinda like the real story and added a new flare to our day and time. No everything is suppose to be like the original. It brought a fresh look to it. I was truly impress with the out come and is looking forward to the upcoming sequels.
This movie is awful! If you want to sleep go watch it! And whats up with them trying to make Superman look like Christopher Reeve? SUPERMAN STINKS! 2 hours of my life I can never get back! $50! Not well spent, is by far the worse superhero movie ever! Equivellent to the HULK! IT STINKS! Pirates is the best movie I have seen all summer!
it was a little slow
I loved it. Love the choice for the new superman.Very entertaining.
This movis is way too over hyped. And there was way too much focus on Lois Lane, which was a lame character. It was decent but not great.
Brandon Routh was the perfect choice to ressurect the role of superman. I do not think they could have found a more perfect person. The movie was great, however, I found that some parts, not many, dragged a bit. Other then that, it fit in seamlessly with the rest of the films in this franchise. I will be seeing this movie again, and again!!!!
Good visual effects but unfortunetely, I became bored quite fast after it started
Amazing movie all together it had you guessing till the end.
i think it was well done and took me back to the good old days when the first ones came out and was a good send up to the late great mr reeve
Great Special effects - too bad they couldn`t manufacture some chemistry between Superman and Lois Lane! Brandon Routh is very attractive and looks the part, but either he can`t act - so the powers that be didn`t want to take any chances - so they gave him nothing to do or he can`t act and didn`t have the ability to make his part seem real. Kevin Spacey and Parker Posey were the only bright spots in this dud! Please don`t let them make a sequel unless they get better writers and a director who can get a decent performance out of Superman and Lois - or maybe a new Superman and a new Lois!!
I am glad that this movie stuck so close to the original Supermans. Brandon had big shoes to fill and I think he did a remarkable job. I gave it FIVE STARS. Can t wait for the sequel.
brandon rouths clark kent was perfect.
Great for fans. Superman is back!
the graphics were AMAZING, if u want my opinion, go watch it high, it is the ultimate favourite movie of a stoner
Very entertaining and Brandon Routh is great!!!
I enjoyed it.
Brandon Routh is the PERFECT Superman - you will not be disappointed with this guy or his performance! Kevin Spacey is killer as usual. The 2.5+ hours of this movie just fly by. The special effects are concrete - nothing seems too overdone or looks too fake. The plot does a good job of revitalizing the franchise and giving viewers and fans something great and new to look forward to while staying true to the original series. I enjoyed every minute of this movie.
Unfortuantely This movie turned out to be a huge disapointment. Goes to show you that you can`t throw money at a title and expect it to do the rest. Bryan Singer got carried away and made a disaster
I was very impressed with the movie. Brandon is a Reeve double.
Takes your breath away and then keeps on climbing!
Really cheesy story....who the heck is voting for this anyway?
Bryan Singer is a true Superman fan, and it shows in this movie. From the score at the start to the opening credits, they felt like this was a Superman III film. What`s more, it felt like Brandon Routh was channeling Christopher Reeve. I would see this movie in theatre again, and that says it all.
excellent very well done and good synchronization of time.
It was an excellent movie and a great add-on to the previous superman films. ;)
There were some flaws. However, the effects were amazing and for someone like me who doesn`t follow comicbook characters, the storyline was great and very compelling!
Brandon is Hot and even when he wears the suit, Hotter! The movie was beautifully done. Superman Lives Forever! [He {Brandon}looked a lot like Christopher Reeves!] Which helped the movie as well!
Great movie!
Unfortunately this film was horrible. It was slow and the plot was under developed. The highlight of the film was Kevin Spacey`s Lex Luthor. I would wait for the DVD- this lacks in comparison to films like Spiderman, X-Men and Batman Begins.
While some people may think that because the past Superman movies starring Christopher Reeve, were focused more on the romance he had with Lois Lane, (Margot Kidder), that is not the case with THIS movie. Superman Returns has an incredible amount of thrilling action, this time the romance he has with Lois Lane is minimized, and there are no kissing scenes between them, although they DO come close to locking lips in one scene. This movie is very well worth watching, with even the music and the actors credits at the beginning of the movie taking you back to when you first saw it as a kid back in 1977, at least that is how I felt!! Brando
Captivating! Can`t wait to see the sequel.
It was enjoyable, I like it alot. Had that retro feeling to it, much like the original.
I thought the movie was absolutely outstanding. There couldn`t have been a more perfect actor to be superman. The reason I did not give the movie 5 stars was because I found the violence horrific and of a type that was totally unnecessary. In fact, I can`t believe the movie got a PG rating.
The special effect were good. The casting was well done. However the movie moved at a slow pace.
for 26 years ago, its wonderful. really. and brandon routh likes christopher reeve young.
Have been waiting for this one for a long time. Very good movie but at times a little slow. Great tension between Lois and Superman. Special effects and action shots were excellent, but expected a bit more. Overall, a great entertaining film.
I`m giving it a four out of five as there were some part it the film than were a repeat of other Superman films and also The Bosworth isn`t a Lois Lane?
Sacrifices a bit of character development to visuals and extended sequences but is fantastic nonetheless! Just about as good as it could have been despite the grumbling and nitpicking from some
I was so looking forward to this movie but was extremely disappointed. It was long, slow,I think I dozed off for a short time, and the storyline was not really here nor there. A few good scenes with some action bits but really not pulled together well.
wow...just when you thought they couldn`t pull of a sequel after so long! one of the best films i`ve seen all year ! well done!
Anyone bringing sopophoric sophmores into this movie deserves whatever disappointment they find. I loved this. I loved the allegory that our heroes need us as much as we need them, whatever religious allusions a critic cares to place there were part of the Superman mythos long ago. I enjoyed the exploration of Superman as a person, fallible and mortal, who does a very difficult job because there`s no one else to do it. No musical score deserves to be this glorious twice, but it did it.
Good effects. Superman was a little "too cute" Serious Mistake trying to make this like the original. Worse mistake was leaving all the loose ends at the end of the movie for the sequel machine at warner Brothers.
I loved it.
Good story, well acted, but one expects more action in a superhero movie.
great movie didn`t let me down like other highly publicized movies
