TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Smoreni Zmaj Visual effects do not lag behind Marvel's, but unlike Marvel, DC provides something more than an empty action. Besides the default fight of good and evil, "Superman" also brings a deep human drama, a struggle within, between what we want with all our heart and what we know is right. Frankly, I do not like Brandon Routh in leading role. Although I can not give objective criticism of his performance, subjectively he simply doesn't leave impression of Superman. He seem more like pussy than superhero, but it's probably just me. On the other hand, Kate Bosworth is so cute that I am not able to objectively evaluate her acting, and Kevin Spacey is perfect Lex Lutor, incomparably better than Hackman.8,5/10I wonder if introductory monologue sounds somewhat biblical to anyone else, as if trying to compare Superman to Jesus:"Even though you've been raised as a human being, you are not one of them. They can be a great people. They wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all, their capacity for good, I have sent them you, my only son."

Leandro Brum Fonseca I was born in 1978. Being a comic book fan since, I don't know, ALWAYS, one of my biggest disappointments was I had never seen a Superman movie in the theater. Superman I and II were always in my favorite movies list, but I never had the chance to see them in the cinema - we rarely get reruns here in Brasil, guys, and I don't live in a big city (the best cinemas are located in the biggest cities of this country), so I had always dreamed of seeing, at least, the opening credits, with the John Williams score blowing my mind......and I did. In 2006 I went to the movie theater and I did see some opening credits with the Superman theme song by John Williams BLOWING MY MIND. And I cried. Oh yeah, I cried......aaaaaand that was it. I could've gotten up, left the theater and gone home RIGHT WHEN THE OPENING CREDITS WERE OVER, because what I saw next was a blend, blend, blend, blend movie, one movie that has Superman (Superboy?) flying all around, up, down, great effects, but a blend romantic miscast (with the exception of Kevin Spacey!) Superman movie.

Buks Terblanche The acting was some of the best I have ever seen in my live and I have seen tons of movies.Keven Spacey gave a brilliant performance as Lex Luther.He was so good you like him even if he is the bad guy. The movie has a fantastic message and there is lots of heart t.It makes me smile every time I see it!!!

Leofwine_draca Bryan Singer's much-heralded continuation of the SUPERMAN series turns out to be a vacuous, poorly-paced nonentity of a movie that adds absolutely nothing new to the genre – aside from some nifty, state-of-the-art special effects – while rehashing lots of genre clichés and staples and some poorly-contrived laughs at the same time. For some reason, Singer decided to pad out an hour and a half movie with an extra hour of people standing around talking, lots of incident surrounding the diabolical Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane – making the viewer question why anybody would love her character – and plenty more, well, routine stuff. I'm a fan of comic book adaptations now, but Singer fumbles the ball completely, preferring to concentrate on plot rather than action – pretty much the opposite of the tightly-woven and utterly entertaining SPIDER-MAN flicks.Things begin on a particularly bad footing, and people who are unfamiliar with the Superman story will find themselves scratching their heads in confusion. An idiotic scene of a boyish Clark Kent jumping high into the air through a cornfield brings back unfavourable memories of HULK and it's not until an admittedly entertaining run-in with a jumbo jet that the film really begins to move. However, the comic-book hero staple – fighting bad guys and crims – is almost non-existent. The film's best moment, in which Superman faces a thug with a Gatling gun – the biggest I've seen on film – seems to be over far too fast and there's not a great deal else in the film in the same spirit.Brandon Routh is perfectly able in the role of the titular hero, and he's nothing to complain about. While he's overshadowed by the late Christopher Reeve, he proves to be a dashing hero for the millennium. Not so the awful Bosworth, whose blandness sucks life from the movie. James Marsden – coming over from his role as Cyclops in Singer's X-MEN films – is equally wooden as a major supporting character, while Frank Langella must be reminiscing over his youthful roles of the 1970s as he's given nothing to work with here. Kevin Spacey lifts the movie as the ultra-villain, Lex Luthor, but he's too 'nice' and charming for the part; you end up sympathising with him when you really shouldn't be. Parker Posey is as awful here as she was in BLADE III.The film progresses in a run-of-the-mill fashion, with only a couple of entertaining moments. The first sees Superman losing his strength – darn that Kryptonite – and taking a vicious beating at the hands of Luthor's thugs. This scene feels like it belongs in a different movie. The second is the admittedly spectacular finale, in which Superman levitates a whole continent and throws it into space. While the special effects are superb, the characterisation and plot isn't, and as a result you can't get worked up or excited about any of this stuff. Style over substance is the best way to describe this disappointing wannabe-epic.
