the rest of the cast did good, IMO. they all played their part. superman having a kid is fine by me. i didn't find it totally out of place since him and lois got it on in the fortress in superman 2. though the memory wipe thing seems like a plot hole. either that or superman was so0o0o good in bed that even the memory wipe was useless on lois' memory. droolio

Besides the memory wipe I would like to know, since by the time they slept together in Superman 2 Clark had already given up his powers and was completly human, How the kid got his strenght/powers?

Maybe thats why the kid turned out fragile. lol

Because even without superpowers, Kal-el is a Kryptonian, not a human.

His son would therefore be a half human/Kryptonian hybrid, whose genetics would grant him powers living in a planet with a yellow sun. 😖mart:

Alright, now that Dusty's weighed in, I can really rip. 😂

First of all, the premise is absolutely ridiculous. Lex Luthor plans to

Spoiler:
flood all of Metropolis, and then raise a rock continent.

Why? Anyone? Someone? Nobody can live on it considering

Spoiler:
it's full of radioactive Kryptonite, the likes of which Luthor had to wear a ring to avoid exposure to

. It's uninhabitable, it provides no sustenance, and it's a ****ing rock. So, Superman comes back (the same time as Clark Kent of course, which nobody notices) and when he pops up on screen, it's to lift something heavy, and have a line or two of dialogue? Yes, "Superman Returns", but only when someone is in peril, or if someone's child's paternity is in question, which was a stupid, stupid backstory, the answer to which was obvious 15 minutes into the movie, from the first puff of the inhaler.

The casting looked great on the outside, superficially, but inside, there was no chemistry. There was no charisma. There was no talent. Routh was emotionless. Bosworth was empty, nowhere near as Catty and lovestruck as Margot Kidder, and Kevin Spacey's rendition of Luthor was that of a maniacal real estate agent, not snippy or funny like Hackman.

Supes and Luthor's imminent final battle was contrived, short, and devoid of excitement, instead, ending it with the sappy baby daddy drama, which again, was just silly. Big mistake casting a rookie actor in such a supposedly important role for a big summer blockbuster. I've seen more emotion on the face of a rotting fish, washed up on the beach.

150 minutes of disappointment and failed potential, IMO. Yes, it was missing something. Substance. Even if you leave your brain at the door, your intelligence wil be insulted by this film.

Then I must be a moron,cause I really liked it.

Can you say WB studio plant boys and girls.. 🙄

Haha, after reading his post, it does seem like that!

I just watched Superman Returns... Brandon R. looks like plastic but he did a good job as Clark Kent 😖...

the special effects were amazing... just seemed like there wasnt enough action scenes (especially in 3 hours... you think there would be more )

loved Kevin Spacey and Parker Posey! which I disagree with some of you one Spacey's part... thought he played a great L. Luther (nothing like a real estate agent wtf! )

Kate Bosworth was blah, I dont know it was like she was really lacking something

I really liked it! I thought it was a good sequel to Superman II.
I loved the story and I like Brandon Routh as Superman. I also had fun with Kevin Spacey as Lex.
The only thing I not like was Lois. I think Kate Bosworth came across as too bitchy and self centered.
I can understand why she felt that way in the story but her character just seemed unapproachable in this movie.
I felt more annoyed with her then amused and concerned like I did with the old movies.
It was a good movie despite Lois.

🙂

I've already seen this movie 3 times lol I'm just a little obsessed with Superman..I always have been. I really love Superman Returns. Brandon Routh is great as Clark Kent..I laugh everytime, and hes so dreamy as Superman too. Kate Bosworth..was alright..I thought they had pretty good chemistry.

Yeah I loved brandon's take on clark. I could never understand why lois wasn't attracted to him. He would make a good boyfriend I think.

The first time I saw 'Superman Returns' I had just drank about 6 Margaritas, and I kept passing out through the movie. I just saw it again - without being intoxicated - and I liked it. It was good.

I saw Super-Man Returns twice as well. The first time I saw it I really liked it, but I was caught up in the hype. The second time I saw it was because it was on IMAX, but it was the second time where I realized that the movie is actually very boring and quite a drag.

I know a guy that's seen it 29 times or so. I'm not shitting you either, he's a huge Supes fan.

Personally, I thought it was decent. Nothing more, nothing less.

I think I enjoyed it the first time I saw it mainly because of the little things, like the sonic booms when he takes off, the original score by John Williams fused with John Ottman's, and seeing Kevin Spacey is usually enjoyable as well as Parker Posey. I think the next one will be better now that all the set-up stuff is out of the way, they can just jump into the action without focussing so much on the backstory of Superman's arrival to Earth, his dad, Krypton, what Kryptonite does, etc. Why they focussed on the backstory in "Returns" baffles me. If it was supposed to continue where part 2 left off, then we knew the backstory from the first Superman movie directed by Richard Donner.

I agree, some things were done right. The cinematography was grade A. But not only did they focus too much on his love for Lane, the whole villainous plot was a bore.

I agree. Roger Ebert was right when he said it was "glum".

😱 I remember the days when I'd go see movies a bunch of times. I saw Die Hard 7 times is theaters, and Phantom Menace ten times. 😮

Wow, so you spent like, 70 bucks on that movie?

I could never do that. I'll go see a movie 2 times in theaters max, if I really like it.
