Anyone else anticipating this film? From the looks of the trailers it looks really good, and I mean really good.

I have high expectations. I hope the film meets them. I have no reason to expect otherwise!

A couple of reviews for Superman Returns:

Time, Richard Corliss-100


“The best Hollywood movies always knew how to sneak a beguiling subtext into a crowd-pleasing story. Superman Returns is in that grand tradition. That's why it's beyond Super. It's superb.”

Variety, Todd McCarthy- 90

“Grandly conceived and sensitively drawn.”

Newsweek, David Ansen- 90

“This Superman, which infuses its action with poetry, soars as a love story filled with epic yearnings, thwarted desires and breathtaking imagery.”

The Hollywood, Reporter Kirk Honeycutt- 80


“Director Bryan Singer positions this new film as a sequel to Donner's film, and his Superman -- played with winning fortitude by newcomer Brandon Routh -- is less a Man of Steel than a Man of Heart.”

Dude, you were supposed to go with me. It would have been 10 times better if you saw the movie with me instead of your girlfriend, seriously… It’s not like she knows as much about Superman as me.

That's why I went to see it with her. So I wouldn't have someone talking throughout the whole movie.

You know this always happens. Take this one time when I was still a Princess Diaries fan the book can out in April in the States and I had to wait until January of the next year to get it - I mean how fair is that?!

I have been waiting for this movie for a long time and I think it is awsome from what I have heard.

I saw some pics of Brandon Routh and i feel that the "S" on his costume is too small.

Vut do u think?

It is a bit small compared 2 ur SIG, dark_raven! But its not that bad!

Now that u mentiond it... It has startd to look 2 small!
But its ok. Its is the acting talent that counts an it has to be great for such a great movie. Wink

They spent about 260 million on makin this movie so the actor has to have great talent.

I thought it over last night and the "S" might have intensionally been made small because Brandon Routh isnt as well built and bulky as the animated one and a bigger "S" might not suit him as well as it suited the animated guy.

And yes, talent counts. But the appearance does too.
But TALENT is more important than APPEARANCE!!

It is smaller than the animated character, and I think the other live-action renditions, but it still looks alright IMO.
