Superman Returns: Post-Movie Discussion (SPOILERS)

[Blue Banrigh]

The island in the end, when he's trapped on the island with Kitty (and why, what's the attraction to that stupid bint), which was entirely played for laughs. His campy henchmen, the way he treated them.

Understandable.

Speaking of henchmen, was Brutus (piano guy) responsible for the birthday clown massacre that Perry refered to in the beginning?

That guy wasn't campy (the others were, esp the one with the camera), I mean he skipped the letter opener in favour of a rock. That guy liked a messy death.

Okay I have not seen the movie yet, but I think it's gonna be good!

I sure thought is was. But opinions seem to vary very widely.

[MB.Eddie]

Saw the movie today. Was good, but not brilliant imo. All the actors played their parts well too...

Loved it, great cast.
Will be seeing it again soon

[Mala50]

I loved it. If you can, see it in IMAX 3D. The plane scene is fantastic!

[the fifth man]

I just can't get over how much I enjoyed this film. I couldn't help myself - went to see it again today. It was even better the second time around, I must say. I definitely see another Superman film coming very soon.

I actually want to see it a second time (but this time in IMAX 3D, I've never been in an IMAX theater before)

Good idea, but I have to check if they are showing it there.

Saw the film today... Overall I thought it was good but not quite in the same league, IMHO, as Batman Begins. I suspect the writing did not have the emotional conviction of Batman Begins... a case of trying to do too much perhaps?

I liked Brandon Routh, who always had a mammoth task ahead of him with this role. For the most part he acquits himself admirably... especially as Clark Kent. I for one am very interested in the whole son of Superman aspect and would like to see where they go with this. I don't mind Kate Bosworth... but it is very strange to try and imagine Lois Lane being domesticated.

Occasionally I found the CGI/blue screen stuff rather rather dodgy... glaringly obvious. Not sure if this is because flying sequences are especially hard to do.

I wasn't sure what to think of Kevin Spacey's Lex Luthor initially... Seemed rather too placid early in the piece. I don't think he's anything like Hackman's Luthor, who was a much more larger than life meglomaniac. Spacey's Luthor is a darker, potentially much more sinister creature. There is strong feeling of suppressed anger and his expression of evil was much more personal. I was very disturbed by the way he and his henchmen dealt with Superman.

Still, I think Singer did a very good job setting things up... hopefully No. 2 will see an improvement in pacing and storytelling.

Theaters are like movie drive in's.....a thing of the past..... I'll wait for the DVD.

DVDs are awesome...but by no means do they compare to seeing a film on the big screen! Especially not seeing it on an IMAX screen...now that was awesome!

[The Ori]

I liked the action but didn't get the storyline!

Just to say yeh that ok superman is strong and can stop a bullet. But how cam when a bullet hits him nothing happens to his costume, what's that made of then. Is this a blooper!!

From what I remember...his costume is made from some kryptonian material. At least, I think that's the lore behind it.

Since i'm a big superhero fan I just had to post here. Although Batman is my fav. superhero, Superman Returns made me start to really apperciate Superman. I have seen all of the original Superman movies with Chris Reeve and I thought that Bryan Singer did a fantastic job of keeping those movies alive in this installment. All of the actors did a great job in their roles, espically Brandon Routh who has an astounding likeness to Chris Reeve. The only problem I had with the movie was Kevin Spacey. It seemed like he was trying to hard to put the Gene Hackman humor of the other movies into his role. Other than that it was an awsome movie and I can't wait to see what else Bryan Singer comes up with.

I havent seen the movie yet, and im hoping it is good.
