Why not start from the beginning as with Batman,not just dump us in the middle of a poor story and hope for the best. This should have been better. full review

This is a truly great film that has largely flopped a the box office because much like Superman in this film it has no place left in society.It is essentially a sequel 24 years out of time serving a demographic of teens born long after Superman 2 was in c... full review

Okay, so bringing a new take on something as familiar as Superman was always going to be a tricky task, and so it has proved with this film which should have scored highly - great director, cast and effects, but the parts put together just don't quite... full review

OK so we all know about Superman. He saves the world, beats some enemies and is home in times for tea. Oh yes and the classic kryptonite. But even 'the' superhero isn't perfect. After sitting through and enternity of a title sequence the actua... full review

Must admit when i first saw this film i was very dissapointed, the story is not good for a Superman film and the plot really bad. However, after seeing it on the IMAX ihave changed my mind. Ok, well not quite, still a bad plot and story but the tag line o... full review

I kind of liked this film, i do like superman comics and the cartoon I saw when I was like 3 or 4. I thought the film was a bit to long, and there wasn't enough action. I also loved Superboy trashin the piano! But he could have done a bit more. Lax L... full review

Nostalgic take on Superman. Flawed FX when Supes flies close to camera(poor CGI and green screen). Needed fresh take on myth to be relevant. Plot holes were jarring. Characters weren't given enough screen time on a 150 minute film! Not enough Superman... full review

The resemblance between Routh and Reeve is uncanny and this makes for interesting viewing of Clark Kent, but it is as Superman that the newcomer shines. He steals the screen and leaves you wanting more! The direction is slick and as in the first of his... full review

Superman returns, but time has not been kind to him . In the film the point is made that the world has moved on in the years that he was away. In reality, the same is true. The Superman we are given by Routh is a carbon copy of Christopher Reeve and unfor... full review

I found the film entertaining enough, and Brandon Routh did well as Superman. Lois Lane and Lex Luthor were a let down, i found them incredibly boring and very flat. full review

The worst film i have seen since forever. It was stupid, sad and full blown pathetic. The 1st one was better. No wonder it took 3 producers to make it. If you seen part of the series then you have seen this film. I really wouldn't bother! full review

This film in my humble opinion had the best actors and the best directing in terms of reality. The film was eye candy for both men and women with the hunky brandon Routh, James Marsden and the very beautiful Kate Bosworth. It was a very unrealistic fil... full review

I did like the film, I was expecting it to be worse. Superman with his lock of hair on his forehead did have some moments of enjoyments. but naturally you are not going to watch the film for the realistic storyline, which to me is part of its charme. full review

I had heard a few negative things about this film and so I went to see it with some trepidation - it was misplaced. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Possibly because, although I was excited about seeing Superman Returns, i had no real expectations of it. The mix ... full review
