I didn't think that I would like this movie at all. I was in no rush to see it. However my husband brought it home so I sat down and watched it with him. kevin Spacey makes such a great Lex Luther! You almost feel bad for him lol. He is such a great bad guy! I found it silly how no one recongized Clark but thats how the story goes though. Not the movies fault! I also found it predictable that Lois Lane son was going to be superman's son. I loved how they tied that in though with him saving his mom by throwing the Piano across the room! After that we didn't see any more super powers from little superman besides his ability to see his father in the water. I would have loved to have saw more. I also would have loved to see some more hot romantic action between lois and superman. Overall it was a good movie. It was entertaining, and I hope that another one comes out soon to continue the story of Superman, little superman, and Lois. Will they end up one big family? What about Lois fiancee? So many unanswered questions!Read full review
Christopher Reeves left some very large red boots to fill. I don't think that Brandon Routh even came close to filling them. Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane? Sorry, I'm not feelin' it. Kevin Spacey was brilliant as Lex Luthor. Beyond Spacey, I think that the move was not cast well at all. Bosworth simply didn't live up to the legend that is Margot Kidder's Lois Lane; she's a fine actress, but not right for the roll. I very reluctantly watched this movie. I was actually very adamant about not seeing it, but finally caved in just to see if was any good. I just didn't think that ANYONE could live up to Christopher Reeves as Clark Kent/Superman and didn't want to see anyone ruin the picture of Superman in my mind. That being said, you're probably wondering why I rated this movie 4 out of 5. Well, somewhat bad casting choices aside, the movie was, I begrudgingly admit, good. The story, though a little slow in the beginning, was solid thereafter. Though I thought Spacey did a nice job a Lex Luthor, I would have liked to see a different Superman villian...maybe in the next Superman movie... Overall, this movie was good. I just had to look past the strange face of Clark Kent. If you are a die-hard Christopher Reeves is the only Superman, this movie may not be for you. You might want to pull out your VHS copy of the original movies and revisit the only big-screen Superman. If you're too young to remember (or have ever seen) Christopher Reeves as Superman, you missed out on something, but this movie should tide you over until the next superhero movie comes out. If you have no idea who I'm talking about but you like Superman, comic books, or superhero movies, give this one a shot.Read full review
Superman returns to earth after having visited his home planet that was apparently found by astronomers. He returns to an engaged Louis Lane with child. Lex Luthor gets a hold of kryptonite and memory crystals from Superman's fortress of Solitude. Surprise ending leaves movie open for sequels. Although I was never a great fan of the Superman comic book, I did watch the movies. When you first here that theme song again it gets your blood pumping. I was looking for a lot more action, but hey its Superman not much can stop him except kryptonite or Doomsday. It has some great CG affects, but if you're picky you can catch the flaws.
Superman Returns Just blown away by this movie, it left me speechless! I'll start off by saying I'm not a huge Superman fan. I didn't expect to be blown away by this movie, and I don't think I was, or was I? Still trying to figure it out. Most of the cast is great. Spacey is wonderful, Brandon Routh IS Superman/Clark Kent (I really didn't think he could pull it off, but wow!!), Sam Huntington is superb as usual, and the rest of the cast is pretty darn impressive as well. The only cast member I wasn't sold on was Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane, no offense to Ms. Bosworth, but she just didn't sell it. The movie itself is pretty incredible for the most part, your basic Superman stuff. My personal opinion is that it really dragged on in the pre-beginning, the middle beginning, the mid-middle, and the beginning end. Sorry, this movie's pretty long, so I had to break down the time into sub-categories. The special effects are great, and the overall feel of the movie is incredible. Even though it drags on during certain sequences, there are several parts in this movie that will leave you awestruck. This movie is already pretty impressive, and with a few changes it could've been one of the best movies I've ever seen. As you can tell I'm kinda confused as to what to think about Superman Returns. 1/3 of the way through the film I thought about shutting it off, I decided to stick it out and am glad I did. Some people might feel the same way I did, just stick it out, this film turns out to be quite spectacular in the long run. Final Verdict: 5/5 Rent or Buy?: This review came from a non-superman fan, so I don't think I'll be buying Superman Returns, that being said, this is a movie that will blow you away the first time you see it, and you must see it at least once. IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you.Read full review
If your looking for a time waster, you can tolerate this movie. Kate Bosworth stunk. She is NO Lois Lane. Superman needs to improve his nerdiness skills. When he is Clark Kent he acts the same as he does as Superman. Clark's nerdiness is what helped hide his identity. He has no nerdiness. Part of what little I liked about this movie where the Superman effects. They were great. They made me remember what Superman was all about. But they have complicated the story too much. I can tolerate this guy Brandon Rooth as Superman, but Kate Bosworth has to go. There is no chemistry at all. I say bury this movie and restart fresh from where they left off. Find a Lois, a REAL Lois for pete's sake! Uncomplicate the story. Until then I will stick to the original Christopher Reeve and Margo Kidder as my favorite Superman and Lois.Read full review
