reeve did not... he just made a couple of guest appearences...

Reeve said in an interview that he thought Tom made a good Superman.
And he does. He's more in shape then Routh, tougher/ better looking than Routh, taller, cooler, looks more like Superman. Routh sucks.

im not impressed with routh... but he looks older than welling, welling is too boyish imo...

Welling is 2 years older than Routh. Superman is supposed to have a strong jaw line like Welling. Routh just looks like a fruit. I'm not totally sold on Tom. If I had a list of no name actors, who knows who I'd pick. But, one things for sure, Routh would be on the bottom. It really sucks that they screwed up Superman after all these years. And why make it a sequel? Why not just start over? The whole thing is dissapointing.

he doesnt look older... he plays a teen on tv, he looks like a teen... he needs to look older, a bit more... gruff... more masculine...

that said routh is nothing special himself...

and anyway, bryan singer is onboard... he already f*cked up x-men, who knows what he'll do to superman...

Thats exactly why Welling isn't playing Superman in Superman Returns.

As for Routh, its hard to believve that Bryan searched nearly half way around the world for his Superman and finally settled on him.

He is going to make X-Men look like a masterpiece compared to what he is going to do with Superman.

It's refreshing to see that you guys think that the movie will suck too. Most people just accept things. I'd have rather seen Tim Burton's Superman. Why can't they pull the plug on this one?

The initial costume looks pretty bad indeed. However, we can't judge what the entire movie is gonna be like solely on the way the costume looks. I'm gonna watch this movie because i'm curious what Synger's gonna do with this one. As for Routh being too young, lemme remind you that Reeve's first Superman movie was done when he was 26 years old. So much for people not putting their faith in a 20-something year old lookin person.
Routh is gonna be 26 when the movie is done as well. There goes the age factor slowly down the drain so you can kiss that goodbye. What you COULD say is that even though the age is proper, his visage isn't mature enough for someone his age, OR that he doesn't look at 26 as old as Reeve did when HE was 26. But simply saying "He's too young" won't cut it.

I don't care if Routh was 36. He still looks like a fruit. He's the reason I'm not going to watch the movie.

We aren't judging the whole film based solely on his horrible costume there are many other contributing factors as well such as the story, director, other cast members, and more.

Routh looks okay as Supey and Clark but you guys are saying he isn't a good actor based on his look.You need to see him as Superman and Clark Kent before you judge.Sure Tom would have been a better Clark Kent and Superman for the movie but that's life.He's going to be Superman in season 5 so there's no need to be mad because he isn't in the new Superman movie. 😮‍💨 😎 😄

tom is nowhere near good enough to be superman... superboy maybe...

He looks okay and there's absolutely nothing wrong with the costume.He looks almost like a clone of Chris Reeve.I'm sure Brandon will do an amazing job taking up the mantle as Superman and Clark Kent.I hope that they show the black and silver costume for his journey to New Krypton.If Zod is in the new movie I wonder will he have the same costume or a new one?

I do think that the boots could be just a tad bigger.

robert de niro is imo the best actor in the world..... but we don't need good or known actors..... we need superman to play the roll. 😮‍💨

Robert de Nero or whatever his stupid name is is not the best actor in the world.He kinda sucks if you ask me and he'd never be a good Superman.Tom being SuperBoy isn't diffrent from being Superman so you really have no point nor is your statement any good.

Welling 4 Supes!!

I second that.
I think it's a discredit to Reeve to have this fruit Routh try and immitate his character. They should have restarted the franchise w/ a new version of Superman.
