Well I finally saw the movie the other day and it was OK(Definatley no where close to spectacular or phenomonal)...I don't really know how to deal with Supes accepting his kid with another family and Lois lying to him, but whatever...It had some great special effects moments and I have no doubt the next movie will improve upon this movie...I mean it's not in the same ballpark as the Spiderman movies, but I'm gonna use a little perspective and accept some of the flaws because this is just the first of a trilogy of movies...Now if the next movie was on the same level as this one then I'd be extremely dissapointed...I don't like the fact that Superman is reduced into a stalker though..Just felt kinda weird...
First off I expected a movie like this to have more funny or comical moments to engage the audience..Other than a couple scenes by Lex and Parker Posey the movie wasn't really very funny...It all seemed too serious especially "The Passion of the Supes" scene where he was beaten mercilessly as if he was the Messiah...I mean the only time I really laffed hard was when the kid called Lex bald... Secondly I thought Kevin Spacy would be a little better as Lex Luthor...I really had high expectations..Many say he changed the character, but it seemed to me he just continued Gene Hackman's character and wasn't even as funny as him...He got a little wicked in the end when he stabbed Supes but his and Superman's dynamic in this movie was almost non-existent...I mean if you are gonna have a movie with Superman and Lex they need to interact more than 5 mins of the movie...Spacy played Lex a bit inconsistent for my taste... Finally Clark was almost invisible in this movie...I don't think the audience really connected with him as we see Superman 90% of the movie and Clark 10%...He and Lois had no dynamic whatsoever other than cheeze moments...Jimmy and Perry also seemed to have a very weak dynamic with Clark aswell...I mean I have accepted Brandon Routh for better for worse, but you have to admit they scaled him back alot in this movie...I mean I'd be shocked if he said more than 100 words in the first 1hr and a half of the movie...All his sentences were short, quick and consice...He didn't really talk much until his interveiw with Lois...I expect in the next movie they will give him more leeway, but I was dissapointed that Clark was almost a no-count in this entire movie... KB as Lois was OK(Not great though)...She seemed a bit too young and didn't really have that bulldawg attitude I'm accustom to, but she didn't turn me off that bad..I actually thought the guy who played her husband was great..I thought for sure he would die in this movie to make room for Supes....The only gripes that remained for me after the moive was that I still don't like the suit, it just lacks color and I like to see that yellow logo on the cape..I hope they modify the suit for the next movie as it seemed Superman was the only character in this movie stuck in the 1930's...What was Brian Singer thinking changing the suit so drastically?? It just looks bad, and the next movie has to have some vibrant color..Superman can't pull off the dark monotone feel like Batman or somebody...Singer was just off his rocker in the feel of this movie...ADD COLOR! (and I mean the suit too) I know it might be hard to believe I like the movie despite these flaws but I did..I'm just an analytical person...I'm also a writer so some things disturb me in a writing sense...But I did enjoy the Plane Scene alot and love some of Bryan Singers cinematography techniques in the moive like when the baseball player hits a fly ball into the air and we see the plane about to crash....He did alot of very creative cinema scenes which were outstanding...Overall it was an OK movie, but it did leave alot to be desired which I hope a second movie will bring(I mean they rejected script after script for 15 years and this is the one they thought was the best?? )... My suggestion for the second movie would be for them to have a villain that can actually whip Supes a$$ a bit to give us a sence of peril...Also lets see some more super-speed...We didn't see any actual super-running by Supes..Don't tell me Tom Welling(Smallville's Clark) has the patent on that XD....If you haven't seen it yet I'd say the DVD will be out soon enuff...The movie is not worth making a big deal over unfortunatley...The Box Office results agree with me as Supes return has dropped more than 40% from it's first week..and is struggling to hit the 200 million mark (Remember the movie costed almost 300 million with pre-production over 10 years and it is rumored Warner Bros doesn't want to make a sequal if it doesn't get 200 million domestic) It's currently at about 163$ million...Not good news at all for sequal wanters...

I find it funny I typed in a search w/ the exact title and didn't come up w/ anything...(tear drop)

Good movie, only a few things bugged me 1) Too many night scenes 2) In the airplane crash scene, Lois was getting ragdolled all over the place and came out virtually unscathed, but later is hit by a steel door and gets knocked out -_- 3) Too much story and not enough action, but at the same time I can understand that since this is Supermans' return CLAMPshinobi - why was it stupid that he picked up that island, cause there was Kryptonite in it? that's hardly a reason if it is, since there have been times where he was able to overcome it's effects, though be worned out right after he's done, like it portrayed in the movie. Mind over matter as they say and overcome your weakness and he did that temporarily. Quote:

I shall revive this thread now instead of making a new one So please don't flame me for doing this

This is also a little stupid because in 2006 they planed to do a sequel of Superman Returns with Brandon Routh and Kate Bosworth as main actors. Spoiler for from wikipedia:
Btv have anyone watched the full cut/version of Superman Returns which last for over two hours. I watched it today and there are many scenes added. So in my opinion it was very good

Well, it's ok....
Good story, no "REAL" villain fight, he rescues most of the time and it's a sequel not a reboot of the series. Lex Luthor is still a bit comedic here along with the years passing. Though I must say the effects are very good here. Iam waiting for a Justice League movie or a Superman/Batman Xover movie.
