[@KakoRuraOumijia]

Brandon Routh gave the best rendition of Clark among all movie and tv superman, He did better his is more natural than the latest Superman only that there was no clear direction for those people on the top. They got a big mistake to take a Director that already have a franchise, writing story not so bad it still can be improved, Brandon have great cast of supporting actors not to mention the Villain Kevin Spacey played as Luthor was way better than the actor now, the only actor there that sucks is kate bosworth her acting is 1 dimensional. I feel really bored on Henry Cavill's acting.

This is honestly my favorite Superman movie. Tho I haven't seen Man of Steel yet. It's a more mature take on the story. And it just feels real. Sure, it slows down once in a while, but that'll only bother you if you're watching for the action. The slowing down parts are very important to a good story, and they give context to the fights and action

[@jeffwenberg4321]

I wouldn't say I love it but I certainly don't hate it. Routh was very well cast. It the Star Trek the Motion Picture of Superman movies...definitely has its some great moments but is quiet slow. Still better than the Snyder stuff for me.

[@JessicaDwyer]

Brandon Routh was the best thing in this movie. The fact he got the blessing of Reeves wife was just sweet. He looks like he was built from some bizarre comic book DNA. He's built for this. I wish they'd give him more to work with in Legends of Tomorrow.

[@randallflagg3700]

Well, a few years later you got your wish, Brandon Routh played Superman again in one of the best parts of the *Crisis on Infinite Earths* Arrowverse crossover... Not a great crossover, the ones before were much better ( *Elseworlds* and *Crisis on Earth-X* in particular), but the great cameos and callbacks to earlier shows/movies were a treat...

***** Are you kidding me? BvS looks like a convoluted mess put together by a 3 year old...At least Superman Returns made sense as a movie. I only liked the first 10 min of BvS, then it gets F*cking boring and you start asking yself when something is going to happen...then finally the kidnapping and the battle begins, what should be the best moment was total crap. And the movie gets worse and worse until the end, especially the end. I could rant about BvS for like 3 hours, but I will only say if you liked it good for you, I guess...

[@TheNugettinage]

Thomas 94 BvS had some really good parts to it. Affleck did Batman really well, and most of the Batman stuff was fairly entertaining.

[@BenCulture]

+TheComicCrafter -- You're not the only one! I left the theatre mostly satisfied, thinking "There can be good Superman movies again! They have a great cast! They just need to _do better_ next time." Any criticisms I have, I also have of the Zack Snyder films. (For example: *Water is boring.* There is no exciting way to save someone from drowning. I like to BE in the ocean, not LOOK at it!) _Returns_ had to do a lot of "setup" chores, but the sequel could have brought in a superpowered foe to match Superman's power, and let loose with some heavy action for high stakes. Kevin Spacey was about perfect. For all the criticisms about "real-estate schemes", what's better than owning and ruling your own continent? More importantly, it was true Luthor genius that he worked out the secret of Kryptonian crystals, and adapted it to work with green Kryptonite. That's STILL brilliant! The two Snyder movies have only rehashed popular old stories. (Henry Cavill does his best with the scripts he's given. I just hate the end products, which is Zack Snyder's fault.) I'd like to see a mixed cast from both _Returns_ and _Man of Steel._ Brandon Routh as Superman, but Amy Adams as Lois. DEFINITELY Spacey as Luthor, but Russell Crowe as Jor-El (if he appears), likewise Michael Shannon as Zod (if he appears), and I could go either way on Perry White. Frank Langella was good, but Laurence Fishburne was no slouch, either. Dammit, the Snyder films had a great _cast,_ but the films sucked _anyway!_ But even though Henry Cavill has his moments, I'd much rather go with Brandon Routh. Singer would direct again, of course, but he'd have to agree to more action. A cameo from Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne would be pretty sweet, too.

[@nobleskywalker4639]

TheComicCrafter the reason why superman returns failed for fans not critics is because of these reasons: doing the same lex luthor plan in 1978 just reversed, 95% of the dialogue is the same dialogue, superman getting beat up by three nameless dudes, and superman battling an island of kryptonite there are so many other ideas lex luthor can think but the best you can do is make is real estate again? Now don't get me wrong brandon was great as supes and kevin spacey as well and it's a technically well made movie in terms of editing, cinematography and soundtrack but the story is literally the same from 1977 and they said this movie takes place after superman 2 now if they straight up said it was a reboot nobody would complain but they sold it as a sequel when it really wasn't other than having the kid (it just wasn't enough)

[@hectorarredondo6929]

This was the first superman movie that i saw as a kid and i liked the superman character he is not only my favorite DC superhero but superhero. In comix in general and ibsaw the first superman movie (1970s) and i thlight i was good but boring

[@Eternaldarkness3166]

If they had given it a sequel I think he'd have been more well received, I mean look how many people begged for Batman v Superman to happen with Bale and Routh..

Probably having a blood-tie to Clark was there also.

Don't be absurd. If he had any supervision he wouldn't be there in the first place! :)

Brandon Routh is an amazing actor, both as superman and the atom!

after BvS, I really appreciate this movie now: Charming, funny, action sequence that you can actually follow, Superman saving people and caring. And BvS superman was waaaaay more mopey

Well......at least this Superman saves people.

[@alextrimm5964]

Superman returns was underatted just saying

[@AtbirAimad]

+1

[@STho205]

I agree. I think they were trying to finish the storyline of Christopher Reeve's Superman, and pretend Superman 3 and 4 never happened. Why, because Reeve had died after a heroic struggle, and he was a nice man. I think this story did a nice job at that task.

[@alextrimm5964]

S Tho yeah

[@SylentVoidkeeper]

This is the best joke I've seen ever.

[@splitsseconds9965]

In retrospect if the idea was to reboot a franchise copying the original they should have gotten j j abrams as the director instead.

[@vincelupone]

[@leawilliams7297]

It is.

[@MrFerenginar]

"The Death of Superman Lives" is a documentary entirely about how the Nic Cage/Tim Burton version got created and then suddenly scrapped. Worth a watch!

[@AlbaRecoil]

Nic Cage should not be allowed to be the lead in a film again until he gets his crap together.. he hasn't been good since the 90's

[@KrimmReaper]

Definitely my favourite Superman movie! Ahhhh, now I wanna watch it again!

[@anthonyrschmitz5182]

I actually really like this movie. The sequel Superman and Superman II deserved

[@gman3093]

So having just recently rewatched this film via Netflix (hadn't seen it since it came out in 2006), I gotta say it holds up better than I remember. I watched it after seeing the classics w/ Christopher Reeve (also generously provided by Netflix), and it succeeds as an omage to that franchise while recreating some of the classic moments with superior special effects. Like most superhero movies, it def has 3rd act problems, but overall, this is a solid film. Also, I really liked Routh taking up the mantle. Sure, he didn't reinvent the character in any way, but I also believe Reeve's portrayal of the character is definitive and iconic. Just my opinion tho.

I liked this movie. I still don't see why people don't like it.

[@moviemastervevo1848]

+Joseph Higgins animationgamer3466o so nice of you to describe yourself

[@urbangirlparis]

don't know what to say , you have bad taste in movies . it's ok though , don't feel excluded, many are like you nowadays

[@nobleskywalker4639]

one reason and one reason only: It's the same movie as Superman 1977 same dialogue, same shots just with 2006 effects if you are gonna say that this is a sequel to the the donner superman then make a sequel not a movie with the same dialogue and plot. The only thing different was the kid but it wasn't enough different also superman getting beat up by 3 nameless dudes like it was a high school movie really didnt help (it's a well made movie but they literally rehashed superman 1977 only with better effects)

[@peterlane1391]

"You are not the father!" LOL.

[@rjsouthworth5246]

2:18 Don't forget Patrick Dempsey in Enchanted!

[@31webseries]

+Velociraptor256 Though technically he didn't lose his girl to Wolverine. She was just heavily tempted and impersonated in a timeline that was wiped out anyway.

[@Reaper1722]

Lol at the James Marsden losing girls to Superman, Wolverine and Ryan Gosling part.

[@PeterZeeke]

+Martellus he should lower his expectations jut a tad, still bag himself a dime
