Yeah I loved it too, I saw it twice already and that's not enough. The new guy Brandon Routh pulled it off very well. Everybody kept comparing him to Christopher Reeve but I think of him as his own Superman. I love it when Lois's kid realizes Clark is Superman after he saw a picture of him on TV.

Awesome movie

Yes we sure did and it's cool if you don't like him, we all have our own likes/dislikes.

I'll tell you I liked it more then King Kong and the final star wars.... It'll suck to see it outside of the movies.. Well won't suck but you know what the big screen does

Watched it tonight..........Kinda had mixed feelings, but overall it was pretty cool.   The acting was the best part, the plot was kind of shitty and pisspoorly written and Superman was pussed out in it, but it had some great points.  I would have rather seen Parker Posey as Louis Lane!  She's one of my favs.  What the hell was Kumar doing in this movie  :rofl:

Well, try looking at who's directing next time then. Why you would ever expect anything that Brian Singer does to be dumb is beyond me.

I haven't seen it yet, but I'll guess that any 'plot holes' are a lack of comprehension on the part of the audience...

No, there are some plot holes, if you know the first two movies well. To name a few:

-A the beginning of ?Superman II,? it is established that Luther get ?life plus 25,? for the events in the first movie. But in the new film, Luther is released from prison because Superman missed his court date, as though Luther hadn?t been sentenced.

-Louis Lane remembers her relationship with Superman in the new movie, but at the end of ?Superman II? he erased her memory.?

I liked it a lot but thought the plot was half-baked.

SPOILER ALERT  DONT READ ON IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW

I agree - I did like it, but i'm not a big fan of Louis' kid being superman's.  I don't like this direction, it leaves to much room for a 'Son of Superman' series which would make me sick.

Saw it saturday and i think it was great, for the one that have seen the movie, wasn't the kryptonite affect Lois baby? and I think it was cool that the intro was very close to the original with the letters colour blue  : ok:

-Louis Lane remembers her relationship with Superman in the new movie, but at the end of ?Superman II? he erased her memory.?

I thought the only memories he erased was that of Clark leting Lois know that he was Superman?

i really really wanted to see this movie,  but left the theatre more disapointed then anything i guess-        everyone mentions the best part where he took the bullet in the eye (and it did look damn cool- all 10 seconds of it) , the scene where he stops the airplane from falling out of the sky was also good.

the only person who made this movie any good was Kevin Spacy as Lex Luther.  he is a great actor,  any one else would have made this movie retarded

SPOILER:!   there is a part where Lex Luther makes an entire island out of kryptonite (or an island where kryptonite grows out of the ground) any ways superman should'nt be near that damn rock-  but nooo-  he flys his little blue shorts down to hang out with lex. who punches the hell out him and stabs him with a piece of kryptonite -  it should kill him but it does'nt? that pissed me off,  then what does he do?   he lifts the whole thing out of the water and throws it into space???  when just before lex was able to bitchslap him around it made no sence

oh- has anyone quoted from MallRats yet?  "no way lois lane could have supermans baby-  i bet he blows a load like a shotgun"  i did'nt like that idea either-  this movie gets 2/5 stars

Maybe (hopefully) the kid will die in the sequel.

Seriously, I don't mind the kid , it was obvious anyway after watching Superman II.

**** SPOILERS ****

I remeber saying the same thing, I only came up with this. Perhaps the rock was a mix between rock  and krypto so when he lift it was from the part of the rock, you see when he is in space the krypto is starting to get out from the rock and thats when he gets affected so I think thats the reason why he can carry that big rock, yet i dont know what else to think.

Under the kryptonite landmass were layers of earth rock he used as protection, which is why he dove into the sea under the seabed. But the layers of earth rock started to break off at the end and exposed the kryptonite.

Terrible movie.  The plot was ridiculous and made NO sense.  Superman doesn't do anything!?!?  I don't think he throws one punch in this movie.  The air plane scene was well done and a great way to re-introduce superman to the world, but outside of that....ugh.  Louis husband did more and showed more courage then superman did!!  Routh was great, but louis was just awful.  She did a pretty bad impersonation of margot kidder.  I thought Jimmy was well done too, great casting there.  Lex was ok, but I couldn't get over his stupid plot.  made zero sense at all.

and the kid....sigh, dear god.  FUCKING RETARDED!!!!  really opens up a shit storm for the next few movies.  I hope he gets sent away to boarding school and isn't in the next few movies.

oh and the ending?  my god, shave off the last 25 minutes...total waste of time!!!!

box office wise this is a HUGE disappoitnment, its not even at 200 million domestic. 

Pirates 2 was much better.  Very disappoitned in superman, it just missed really bad if you ask me.  There are so many cool superman stories they could have used too.

Well there are going to be two more sequels, maybe you'll like them better. I disagree, I totally loved the movie but I agree with you on Routh, I think he's a great Superman too. Superman Returns and the X-Men movies are pretty much the only comic book movies I like that came out these recent years, Batman Begins was alright but I don't like any of the other ones. I can only watch them if I like the characters
