- Review by Sangram from Umass, amherst.
This is one superb movie starring Brandon Routh , also very entertaining and also quiet a romantic movie. More over to watch this handsome superman doing his considerate act of saving the world again & again & again & again simply tirelessly is a great treat in itself. This is one of the movies one can never watch over & over and still never get bored at all & so its a lovely addition to ones personal collection.

- keeps the franchise alive and then some
My son loved this film, from the bullet bouncing off of SM's eye, to the fact that "Lex Luther was really a scientist". He provided me an excited commentary throughout the whole film, having seen it b4, and asked me questions on supermaniana that I knew from years of reading the comic at his age.

For myself, I thought it was a reasonably good story: SM returns to the Earth after a mysterious absence, during which the other characters have moved on with their lives. Lois is married, angry at him, and has a son. Meanwhile, Lex is at his normally evil plans, which are genuinely earthshaking in this film. So SM saves the day, with a lot of good suspense filled in.

There is no way, of course, that I would have bought this were it not for my son. That being said, it was such a delight to watch it with him that I was carried away by the peculiar magic of this film, which is a mark of its success.

Recommended.

- Yeah, Not Likin It
After a horrid third film and a suprising fourth, superman returns for a fifth film. Dont get me wrong i am a superman fan. but i read the comics and was very disappointed with the suprising release of Superman Returns in 2006. I was one of the first into the theater and one of the first out. The Film focuses on special effects and not story OR superman. The story is short but they maneged to twist it to last two hours. Brandon Rauth does an OK job but is not believable as The Man of Steel. I was very disappointed with its release after waiting such a long time for a new age film. this time they did it to new age and took away story for Effects.

- I wish the bad guys won.
Yes, I was cheering for Luthor and Co. the whole time. It's much more satisfying to stop watching the movie at the point where Superman is stabbed with kryptonite and falls into the water. That should have been the end for that douche in blue tights.

- PLEASE reboot the Superman franchise!!!!
PLEASE reboot the Superman franchise!!!!
And I quote from the razzies..."Kate Bosworth is nominated for her ultra lame Lois Lane"!!! Who could say it better? PLEASE recast Lois Lane for the sequel if they don't reboot the franchise!!! Lois Lane is such a huge part of the Superman mythos. Why destroy her character like this? And please tell me, is Lex the only villain that Superman has? Enough already!!!
PLEASE recast Lois Lane with Erica Durance, Charisma Carpenter, Sophia Bush (she's a year older than Bosworth), Jordana Brewster or Rachel McAdams (think of how she looked in Red Eye). Let one of these actresses put life back into Lois Lane! Bring back her spunk and feistiness!!!! This movie needs a reboot, not a sequel.
Bring on a NEW villain Brainiac, Bizarro, Livewire, etc. and PLEASE recast Lois Lane!
