Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good movie all in all but Christopher Reeve is a hard person to follow after.

Action-packed movie with great special effects. The tale of Superman is timeless and this movie does the legacy justice.

I purchased this movie for my grandsons. They love watching it! Who doesn't love super heroes?

Thought this was a good return of the character. Was sad at how it was received.

Kevin Spacey was the Best Lex Luther that the WB/DC has ever had.

Our household is a big superman fan and this movie did not disappoint.

Very entertaining, I would definitely recommend it.

A must see version of Superman. He is Great!!!!!!!

The ending was not very good. The story line left me hanging.

A lot better than expected. Much better than Superman 3 & 4. Thanks Brandon Routh for carrying the torch.

Brandon Routhe did a great job as portraying Christopher Reeve style of Superman, why couldn’t they go with him as Superman in the man of steel?! Batman couldn’t be Bale because he bailed out,,, Michael Keaton did excellent. Superman returns was a gem... even the same theme song, excellent move. And Lex Luther was played well by Kevin Spacey. Fun great action, thanks Hollywood... unfortunately this was the last live action Superman movie in my collection... sad...

I saw this Movie the day it came out in theaters(And about 5 times more after),and I bought it the first day it came out on DVD.Great Casting,great Acting,beautiful Visuals,Wonerful Music.Every Time I went to see it the movie got applause.If You didn't like this movie that's okay,but you are in the minority.I like the fact the Bryan Singer didn't sell out and make the movie too action oriented(Unlike X-men 3,which was fun,but had more action than story.).I like the fact that Singer made the movie in tribute to Donners two Superman Films,and yet the movie was a sequel within itself and having it's own mysterious continuity for future sequels that are coming.Brandon Routh was worth the long wait for a new Superman Movie,as he Portays Superman as the strong,yet angelic figure that I had always seen him as.It is hard to deny that he has Christopher Reeve's Smile,and his Voice,but he puts his own soft spoken spin on Superman that was refreshing as he was not trying to take too much from Reeves.His Clark Kent is right on the money,as the bumbling,shy Reporter that Lois Lane barley even looks at or barely has the time to say "Hi" to (Which Explains way Lois Lane Herself is easly fooled by Superman's Simple wearing of thick Glasses and three Piece Suits.).Kevin Spacey is so Good as Lex Luthor for the straight out reason that his Character gets darker as the movie goes on.Lois Lanes Son,Jason,is Adorable (Allergies and all).Lois Lanes Fiancee,Richard White, is the man that at first you are hoping has many Character flaws,but turns out to be a good man,who is a hero on his own.Kate Bosworth was great aswell ,but many people felt that her Lois Lane lacked the spunk that was brought to the table by her predecessor Margot Kidder,I feel however that she did a great job as the Lois Lane that is stuck between a rock and a hard place(She Loves Superman,but is so very hurt and Angry at the fact that he left Earth and she had to move on like everyone else,and then boom! Superman is back in her life.)After all she still does Display Lois Lanes Workaholic attitude very well.Another Minor Character that got alot of attention was Kitty,Lex Luthors Girlfriend,who is just so fun to watch for some reason.All the Other Supporting Characters like Jimmy Olsen ,and Perry White are done well.In all the movie is great,and and well Casted.The Actors are phenomenal at showing much deeper emotion going on behind their eyes(Hat goes of to Bosworth and Routh.)Critics and Fans on Average liked it,and some People wanted more action as the emotional struggle going on within went over their heads.Thank You Bryan Singer for not selling out the man of steel with the typical jingling of the keys that most Superhero movie Directors use(Explosions and Lazers right of the bat etc.)This movie has a much deeper scope in the end( As we realize that Superman is no longer alone in the world).Can't wait for the Sequel!

The movie was pretty well made, the acting was good, and Brandon Routh was a perfect choice to play the fated man of steel! He looked a little like Christopher Reeve, the best Superman out there, besides Dean Cain, which definitely helped his cause! Great action sequences, mixed with beautiful flying shots made this an a+ movie in my book. If you haven't added this movie to your dvd collection, or at least seen it, definitely do, and if you like it as much as I did, you won't be sorry about having it in your collection for years to come.

Yes, the man of steel is back and ready to fight crime. The beloved villain Lex Luthor is a classic evil genius that's rarely ever seen in other comic books. I only wished Superman killed Luthor or did he?

Over-all, this had some good action, and occasional humor. Acting was pretty good, so I though this was a Okay movie. I would recommend it because I did find it entertaining. Not the best, but not Bad!

Okay, I'll admit that the bullet in the Eye was great cinema. Other than that I was underwhelmed. Maybe I missed the Super that C. Reeves brought to the part of Superman. Or the horrendous nerdiness that Reeves brought to Clark. Mr. Routh seemed just a bit too dorky as Superman, and a bit too cool as Clark. It wasn't a one or a two though, because, despite all of it's pitfalls, this is Superman, and it could have been worse, it could have been "Superman: The Quest for Peace".

I wonder how they pick superman? They are always so handsome. The hot guy in tights is back! This movie had lots of suspense and action. I had a blast watching this movie. It was the best superman movie I have ever seen. Superman Returns was great and I hope they make another superman movie soon.

I was really disappointed in the performances offered up by the actors and the writers of this movie. While some of the visuals and effects are good, the same can't be said about the overall execution and acting of the film. I was expecting a release that, at the least, lived up to the cheesy old versions of "Superman". If it weren't for all the new aged effects and Kevin Spacey as the infamous "Lex Luthor", "Superman Returns" wouldn't have anything on the previous releases. The plot serves up the same basic story-line as always, but with a couple minor new twists that have no effect on the inevitable "no-surprises here" ending. Overall, I wouldn't suggest seeing this film unless you are an absolute Superman fanatic.

Desent movie, but did not live up to its hype. I was hoping for some really cool fighting scenes but did not get it. This is more of a drama where Lois Lane is with somebody else! Worth seeing but not worth seeing again.

This the wost superman movie ever made. It was very slow. Superman wanted the people to love him. I that this was a waste of my time watching this film
