Superman Returns Movie Review...

I was six years old when Superman the Movie hit theatres. Like the rest of the world, I was completely enthralled with Richard Donner's vision of the world's greatest superhero. With that said, I was expecting a lot from Bryan Singer. I was NOT disappointed.
I was the movie in IMAX 3D and, the not-quite-perfect 3D segments aside, after Supes' first heroic act I was hooked. I leaned over to my wife and said, "This is the coolest thing I have ever seen!"
Who is better than Superman? The answer is no one. I love how Singer captured the worldwide sense of awe and respect that humans show for Superman. I don't want to spoil it for anyone (*don't dead any further*).
The entire city looking up to see their savior falling from the sky; The utter silence following his impact with the ground; The police and fire departments rushing Superman's body to the hospital; Police standing guard outside his hospital room; The city at a standstill as a million people surrounded the hospital.
I don't mind admitting that it was hard for me to contain myself. My wife and daughter were not as successful in bottling their emotions and cried openly, as did much of the audience.
I refute any claims that Superman Returns was a poor offering. It captured perfectly a world where the ultimate hero is carried on the respect of the entire world. It showed the ultimate sacrifice Superman would make to protect the people of earth and the lengths to which his nemesis would go to to kill him.
I loved it, plain and simple. The DVD will take a prominent place in my collection. My experience at the movie theatre was almost spiritual in nature and will never be forgotten.
Love live Superman!

But I loved the lifting the contient etc....but I loved the book better...more in depth.

the movie itself was good...the only part i felt that lacked were the morals. superman being world icon should take full responsibility for jason not run away, pretend nothing happened and then dish fatherly advice. to start with pre-marital sex...by the world's greatest super hero? ugly.

As the ultimate hero, Superman subjects himself to the laws of mankind. However, Superman does not takes lives because the bible says not to, but rather because it is illegal. He obeys the law, not a tattered book that expounds the words of a mortal man who walked the earth 2000 years ago. Superman is not bound by any law in the western world to be married before doing the nasty with Lois. Or anyone else, for that matter. Perhaps other religions do demand it, but Kal-el is not practicing any religion as far as I know.

Kal-el will make sure that nothing happens to Jason and will do what we can, in his limited role, to help where he can. Obviously, he cannot pay child support as Clark, for Lois would figure out his secret again.

And, let us not forget, Jason was conceived when Kal-el relinquished his powers and was planning to spend the rest of his life with Lois. Life has a funny way of turning everybody's plans inside out.

Jason is not a Superman´s son; its just a Clon addopted by Lois.. You will see....

what! rrrrrrrrrrr you meaning?

but the kid killed the mugger with a piano, i dont think anyone on earth can do that let alone a 5 year old child, he definitely has superman's oomf in him.

I just watched Superman Returns again for the 5th time! still love it

Awesome Dance_Inside! 💃

BTW, does anybody know what the deal is with that goon who kept videotaping Lex's scheme throughout the movie. Do you'll think it was because the goon liked doing stuff like that, or do you'll think it was because maybe Lex ordered him to. I'm actually going with the second option. Lex seems to me so egotistical and megalomaniacal that he'd want his entire quest videotaped, and probably made in mass quantities, so that future citizens of Lexland could watch it.

i think it's lex. he has hitler-esque tendencies anyways. the only differece is that he doesn't disciminate... he'll kill anybody.

My review:
Meh, as hokey as the originals...just with better special effects. Oddly amusing, but hardly movie gold. Felt like a soap opera with some fighting in between.

And Superboy is the worst movie decision since Greedo shooting first.

If you liked it, cool. There's plenty that it does well. But not enough for me, especially with some of the great comic films of the past few years.
