## Description

If Richard Donner's 1978 feature film Superman: The Movie made us believe a man could fly, Bryan Singer's 2006 follow-up, Superman Returns , lets us remember that a superhero movie can make our spirits soar. Superman (played by newcomer Brandon Routh) comes back to Earth after a futile five-year search for his destroyed home planet of Krypton. As alter ego Clark Kent, he's eager to return to his job at the Daily Planet and to see Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth). Lois, however, has moved on: she now has a fiancé (James Marsden), a son (Tristan Leabu), and a Pulitzer Prize for her article entitled "Why the World Doesn't Need Superman." On top of this emotional curveball, his old archrival Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey) is plotting the biggest land grab in history. Singer, who made a strong impression among comic-book fans for his work on the X-Men franchise and directed Spacey in The Usual Suspects , brings both a fresh eye and a sense of respect to the world's oldest superhero. He borrows John Williams's great theme music and Marlon Brando's voice as Jor-El, and the story (penned by Singer's X-Men collaborators Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris) is a sort-of-sequel to the first two films in the franchise (choosing to ignore that the third and fourth movies ever happened). The humorous and romantic elements give the movie a heart, Singer's art-deco Metropolis is often breathtaking, and the special effects are elegant and spectacular, particularly an early airplane-disaster set-piece. Of the cast, Routh is excellent as the dual Superman/Clark, Spacey is both droll and vicious as Luthor, and Parker Posey gets the best lines as Luthor's moll Kitty. But at 23, Bosworth seems too young for the five-years-past-grizzled Lois. It's nice to see Noel Neill, Jack Larson (both from the classic Adventures of Superman TV series), and Eva Marie-Saint on the screen as well. Superman Returns is one of those projects that was in development for seemingly forever, but it was worth the wait -- it's the most enjoyable superhero movie since Spider-Man 2 and The Incredibles . --David Horiuchi More Superman Watch our exclusive interviews with the cast of Superman Returns Other feature films Superman in high definition Smallville Adventures of Superman See all Superman DVDs He's back. A hero for our millennium. And not a moment too soon, because during the five years (much longer in movie-fan years!) Superman sought his home planet, things changed on his adopted planet. Nations moved on without him. Lois Lane now has a son, a fiance and a Pulitzer for "Why the World Doesn't Need Superman." And Lex Luthor has a plan that will destroy millions - no, billions - of lives. Filmmaker Bryan Singer (X-Men) gives the world the Superman it needs, honoring the legend everyone loves while taking it in a powerful new direction. Brandon Routh proves a perfect choice to wear the hero's cape, leading a top cast that includes Kate Bosworth as Lois and Kevin Spacey as Lex. And the thrills - from a sky-grapple with a tumbling jumbo jet to a continent-convulsing showdown - redefine Wow. "I'm always around," Superman tells Lois. You'll be glad he is.

Review: Great return! - "Spoilers ahead, Beware" The movie is set after the events of donner's Superman II. Superman left the planet Earth for five years hoping to find another kryptonian like him. This movie point out another take on what it is like to be Superman and in this film, to be Superman is to be lonely. Lois Lane moved on and have a son and she wrote an article about why the world doesn't need Superman. Meanwhile, Lex Luthor gets out of prison and finds the way to obtain one of the cristals in order to learn about Superman and take advantage of the Krypotonian technology to hurt him and make a whole new continent. It is true that the movie isn't loaded of action scenes, The plane sequence being the best imo, but it is still a really enjoyable ride. Brandon Routh is Great as superman. The kid works aswell. Unlike any other superheroe movies involving kids with powers, which most are just plain annoying, this one is quite the opposite. Lois lane does a fine job aswell, but a more mature actress would have being better. Kevin's as Lex Luthor is very good aswell. I enjoyed this Lex better than Gene's one. One of my favorite parts nearly the End when Superman is hurt and falls from the sky,...Everyone tries to save him, His mother, Martha Kent, willing to see his son but afraid she might reveal his identity, Superman is Alone no matter what, which leads to understand a little why he needs to watch over lois (which was critized as stalking) but I don't see it that way. But when he learned the truth about his son growing on earth while he was looking for someone like him around the universe, his own blood was right here, for all these years. I think it is a Great Return, Brian Singer took some risk, mainly with the kid but it worked. Definetly a must own in your DVD collection mainly if you are a fan of the man of steel. Now that The sequel is confirmed, let's all hope Singer will bring a great villain and more action. The kid should remain very secondary in my opinion. I'm only disapointing thing is the quality of the transfer of the Movie on DVD. Grainy in some points, If only it could have being an EpIII or Lord of rings quality , it would have enchanced the experience. The Sound is Great, Mainly in the airPlane sequence. The Extra are great too, from finding The man of steal, the design of the costume,...
Review: Take it for what it is and enjoy! - I was very hesitant to see this film when it was released in theaters. I was raised with Christopher Reeve as my Superman, and that was that. I enjoyed this movie when I realized this was a new Superman and a new take on Superman. It's kind of the same mentality with "Batman" -vs- "Batman Begins" Same characters, but a whole different movie and a different concept. You can't put them together and expect to be satisfied. With Superman Returns, you can't put it into the lineup of the original Superman films of the '80's. Instead, this new Superman deserves a whole new fan base purely based on its own merit as a truly enjoyable film. They did a good job on this movie, and it shouldn't be marred by the expectations of us old Superman fans. Superman Returns really evokes emotion out of you and I found that the characters were a bit more true to who they really are. Lex Luther was played very well by Kevin Spacey, and I found that I didn't love and laugh at Lex Luther, which is the way it should be. He's a villain, you can't like the villain (i.e.- I always found Gene Hackmans Lex Luther to be hilarious and funny) Superman Returns has a very real dark element to it, it seems more realistic. Superman himself was played very well and instead of being a campy "Can Do!" superhero, he came across to us as a real guy, and I liked that. Lois Lane as played by Kate Bosworth is pretty ho-hum, as I think they could've done a better job on the casting. A 98 pound 22 year old isn't a very convincing choice for the part of the strong minded and strong person that Lois Lane is supposed to be. Otherwise, it's a great film, but take it for what it is and enjoy it as a whole new Superman film rather than a sequel in a series.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ new guy, old suit, great continuation of a legacy
*by M***. on September 3, 2007*

Unlike some great movie sequels which brought in a heavy duty director so as to "save" the franchise or get it started again (ala Star Trek: Nemesis) and failed miserably because of a lack of knowlege about the franchise, Bryan Singer does a bang up job using old scores, old Marlon Brando film scenes, and keeps the dream alive about our hero from Krypton. The special effects, especially on HD DVD, are spectacular. One scene showing a crashing plane wherein Kal El attempts to stop the crash in mid-air, you can see the rippling of aluminum on the wings as Superman slows the plane's decent. This along with mind blowing audio on your 5.1 (or more) stereo system brings it right into your living room in a way that brings you into the movie unlike ever before. This is one of many such scenes where the latest tech in movieland is making the unbelievable seemingly realistic--or at least you want it to be real after watching it. The character portrayals by the "new" Superman actor and the rest of the cast were well chosen, and giving Brandon Routh a chance to show his stuff was a match made in heaven when it came to giving him the role. Remember, there was another actor who came out of no where to play the Man of Steel years ago who most of us had never heard of then, and from that point on we were convinced that a "man could fly". For that matter, too, God bless you Christopher Reeve, and we are glad that this dynasty of movies has been resurrected even as a tribute to your characterization of the Last Son of Kryptonn you shared with us so long ago.
