Excellent movie, they couldn't have found a better actor to play Superman.

Took my grandson to see this new Superman, and was pleasantly surprised to see that Brandon Routh really did emulate Christopher Reeves. Enjoyed Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor, too. The actress playing Lois Lane just didn't seem to fit into the part quite as well. The digital scenes were cool and loved the rolling seas. Overall two thumbs up.

On a side note, my 5 yr. old grandson was not impressed with the older gentlemen in the theatre wearing Superman shirts, but thought he was pretty cool himself wearing his Superman cap.Superman

ok being truthful, saw it was so let down, was the story line?? plot??? never explained really why and where clak has been to the other newsroom peeps. and what was the main story plot?? was so let down, also superman never kills right? yet the kid half super i guess kills??i like the actor enough, the actres who played lois was also a let down, for a 2 1/2 hour movie, was a real let down... maybe they will make the superman/ batman one where superman has morals, high standards, and batman bends the law and scares bullies to get what he wants, work in how the they agree to disagree each others ways, but need each others help to fight and solve crime in the cities.

I agree ... the movie was ok. Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane was boring! There really wasn't any plot. The special effects were good but on a whole it was a let down.

I prefer Spiderman!

I really enjoyed the movie. Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane was completely wrong for the part though, what was she, 16 when she had the son?

But the movie kept me well entertained and was just a good superhero movie, imho.

I just saw the movie, and I thought it was a good movie, special effects were wonderful, only complaint I had was it was a little too long of a movie. 2 1/2 movie. I liked Lex

It's no Spiderman, but I did enjoy Superman. I thought it was very moving as well and cried like a baby. I thought Lois Lane was not well cast, but I loved Parker Posey as Lex's gal. What a hoot!

I saw this movie today and really felt I received my $10.00 worth of entertainment. If the movie was 2 1/2 hours long, I didn't notice.

I liked this movie and it definitely is a set up for the next 2-3 Superman movies to come along.

CocoPop and I always sit through the credits and I appreciated how this movie was dedicated to Christopher and Dana Reeve...nice touch.

caution- i mention spoilers(somewhat)

We saw it last night and disliked it. I didn't realize it was, in fact, a sequel. I know it is called "returns" but it didn't dawn on me to study up on my superman history in order to follow this movie. I think that was a mistake, considering this is the first time alot of kids are seeing superman.

They should have chosen older actors to play the roles if they wanted us to believe so much time has passed and families have been made. It didn't jive.

Were we supposed to like Lois? I found her annoying and ungrateful for the wonderful man she has. He was a hero more than superman, imo, because he saved them without powers. Where was I supposed to want this lois with this superman when richard was such a gem?

Can you tell I didn't like it?

I loved it! I did think the younger generation of small kids might not understand it all, but it was a pretty dark and complex movie for them anyway! I thought the new Superman actor was fabulous!

What I most enjoyed was the 'messianic' message throughout the second half. I've heard the real superman was written with a messianic bent, and loved the imagery in this movie! Four stars!

Brandon Routh grew up about four miles from my house. There is a lot of "quiet" pride around here for local boy hitting the big-time! About a month ago, I was in a local grocery store and an older gentleman (70-ish) was pushing his cart through the aisles, wearing a superman tee. It was so darned cute, I smiled the whole time I was in the store!! (and he had a pretty put-together physic for his age!)

I really enjoyed the movie. I did not care for Lois--but then I never did. LOL

As for her boyfriend, I was really glad they made him so likeable and such an unlikely hero. I like that they made it impossible for her to run off with Superman again. I liked that he saved superman too--and was so good to her when she needed to go to him.

I think Brandon Routh did a great job, and I think Christopher Reeves would have been proud of it.

A friend who adores Superman (and is years younger than me, LOL) said that this film is to take the place of essentially Superman 3 & 4 (which were generally considered to have gotten off track of the original), as if they did not happen, and to reset Superman to his original "design." and that because this was a re-introduction, the film would not hold a huge amount in plot and action because it was re-establishing the character.

I just really enjoyed the show.

SPOTON: I love that story. That is really cute. I love that kind of pride!

I saw this last night with the singles from my church and we all thought it was a bit disappointing. The best thing I can say about the movie is that the pic of Brandon Routh was not as airbrushed as many, including myself, thought. That man is just plain pretty!

One of the guys with us did not think it was the least bit fair that it seems Superman will not be paying child support.
