    The thing about Superman Returns ..... this is just me .......

    I really -REALLY wanted to love it ..... (bare in mind, i'm the same guy who also loves Superman-3 and 4 so i'm not that hard to please......

    When Returns came out I was really let down .......

    For one, I admit ... I wanted a Christopher Reeve clone ........
    I got that .......
    The only problem is, this guy had no SOUL .......
    He looked the part, but there was nothing there (hard to explain)

    I totally HATED Lois ......
    Why was Lois like 17 years old in Returns ?

    Jimmy was decent, as well as Lex,

    The guy that played Perry, I didn't like ......
    He's always a bad guy.......
    Why cast him as Perry ?

    The story itself ........

    WAKE ME UP WHEN IT'S OVER
    It made Superman 3 look like an action packed extravaganza

    Returns was just SOOOOOOO boring

      I remember when Superman Returns cam eout and people were saying it was the best superhero movie of all time. I didn't go to the theatre to see it but my youngest wanted it so we got it for him for Xmas. To say it was bad is a bit of an overstatement. It was mediocre at best. I actually quite liked Brandon Routh although you do have a point, not much personality. I think that's possibly because he was cloning Chris Reeve to the best of his ability and it made him a bit static. Overall, I liked some parts, hated others. I absolutley can not buy Supes having a kid. He just isn't that dumb nor would he leave knowing he had a child. He would have known Lois was pregnant. He would have heard the heartbeat. It was just DUMB for him to have a child. However, I did like the scene with him at his bedside at the end. DULL is how I'd describe the movie. Luthor again?????????? They should have gone with a different villain. Plus the just plain weird, completely unneccessary stuff like the canibalistic dog. Not to mention the suit. LAME. The movie was a turd.

      I'm sure they'll do a new one and I hope they choose a better route. New villain should be a no brainer.

          Luthor was a street thug who gives Superman a common beat down. I didn't need to see that, it was done better in Superman 2.

          In the end the big climax was Superman lifting an enormous ROCK. It was a BIG rock, but...wow. Not compelling.

          I'm still irritated by that burgundy costume. Red yellow and Blue. Primary colors. It's not broke, don't fix it.

          It was a thrill to see Superman flying with state of the art effects. That was it for me. The floating above the earth shot, the airplane crash. Everything else really let me down. I left feeling deflated.

            I mentioned this before .....
            I seen it in 3-D IMAX

            The effects were - to say least-- stunning ...

            But the story itself just sucked ....

            It also seemed like most of the movie was filmed either in the dark or on overcast days.
            The feel of the movie felt more like they were trying to make a Batman movie rip-off -- right down to Metropolis looking very Goth
            Anyone else notice this ?

              I just want him to punch someone/something more than once and actually have a decent fight scene(s).

              Maybe in the next one they will introduce the kid as "Superboy".

                I thought that Warner was putting the next Superman movie on hold and instead were planning a JLA movie first (which supposedly will involve different actors playing Superman and Batman, not Routh and Bale). But now looking at IMDB anyway, it seems that the Justice League film is on indefinite hold, so who knows what's happening next.

                  DC and Warners just had a planning summit for the movies. The JLA movie is on hold and they are looking to junk the Superman/Singer franchise for something new.

                      With the incredible success of Dark Knight, I can't see Warners ticking off Chris Nolan and hurting the chances of him returning to direct the third "new" Batman movie. Apparently Nolan and crew were none too happy about another Batman coming to the screen in the JL movie, and who could blame them.

                      As much as I'd love to see that movie get made RIGHT one day, this didn't seem to be it. It just had disaster written all over it.
