Im tired of reading that Superman Returns was a BAD movie. Im a HUGE superman fan and had even bigger expectations. Ive seen the movie 3 times now. Theres moments in that movie that make the hair on your neck stand on end. It was brilliantly directed. And selling 180 mil in its first 2 weeks or so isnt a success. Im tired of hearing "Planet of the Apes" Fanboys roam from discussion to discussion bashing a great movie. Bryan Singer actually accomplished doing a sequel... 20 years later. That is no easy feat im sorry.
Sure. The movie wasnt boasting too much action. It was a love story and it delivered on that aspect. The aspect Bryan Singer said he was aiming for. Spiderman didnt have that much action in his first film. All it did was create a bigger hype for the second film. Spiderman also benefited from 911 (actually all super hero movies did), a time when america needed some heroes (RIP to those fallen), fiction or real. Superman is following the formula from Spiderman.
No heads will be rolling at the WB. They are happy, almost 225 mil world wide. And apparently in the UK its breaking some records. It will make its 250 million dollar budget back before it hits DVDs. People on here are throwing out numbers left and right, saying it needs to hit 600 mil worldwide to make its money back... nah, sorry. This movie was a success. and on a SUPERMAN board, we should celebrate in its success.
Anyone who honestly thinks this movie was bad, is on some crack from Krypton. Although i could have done with a different lois lane. Spacey was ON POINT. Routh i think did a phenomenal job as superman. But as Clark i think he needs to stop acting like Christopher Reeve and grow his own identity, which im more than positive he will. This series will only get better.
I give the movie an 85. Like i said, the casting choice for Lois Lane was horrid. And they needed to touch more on his visit to Kypton. Other than that, as a true superman fanboy, the movie hit on all cylinders. I applaud Bryan Singer.
