Dunst is definitely on the "would hit" list. Big time.

Laces Out!!!

I watched this tonight.. Thought it was decent as far as comic book adaptations of superheroes go. Have most of the same complaints as others mentioned so nothing really new to point out.

7.5/10

Great movie. I watched it on a DLP screen. Why don't all movies show in DLP? Fucking awesome.

Anyway this movie brought out the same feeling the original did and it wasn't as slow. It was still slowish, but not as slow as the original. I did quite a bit of crying. They did a great job of building the emotions up. In these times it was really nice to see thw world unite. Hope can be an amazing feeling, especially to those who are atheists.

10 out of 10

I liked it better than Pirates 2. Routh and Spacey were perfect. The pacing at the end was a little slow, but hardly bitch worthy. The fucking ADD generation can go to Xmen if they can't handle some plot with their action. I rank it #4 comic based movie (behind Batman Returns, Spiderman 2, and Spiderman 1) on my own personal list. As a general movie, I would give it a 8.5 out of ten. My only real complaint is that it needed more interaction between Lex and Superman plus more Spacey in general.

Thats pretty much what I told my friends about it.

This movie doesn't beat out X-Men 2. The Nightcrawler opening scene alone is better.

I don't judge a movie by 5 minutes of awesome footage.

The rest of X2 was even better. Superman's first 15 minutes put me to sleep while X2's first 15 got me hooked and into the story.

Lex Luther didn't impress.

To each his own. Prime example. You are best off watching Rambo movies then. Little thought and more explosives and cool effects.

Spacey as Luthor was the saving grace of this movie imo.

Routh did a better job with Kent than Superman by far. The plane scene was the best Supes scene in the movie and was truly representative of the character(as opposed to the super stalking...).

Bosworth was weak as Lois Lane. Didn't pull off the strength of the character at all. Hell, Terry Hatcher played a better Lane than she did.

I think the everything would've been much better if Signer had stayed on with X3 instead of jumping ship and let someone else do Supes. Had that happened we would've most likely ended up with a truly great X3 and who knows for Supes instead of 2 completely average movies like what we ended up with.

The whole super stalker thing is such horseshit. He is the last fucking kryptonian. The spent tons of well acted, non dialoged, sequences developing how much he felt like an outsider on earth. Even when he was being superman, he was still shy and a little awkward when people were oggling him. Then, he finds out he has a son and he is not the last of his kind and has an actual emotional response. I love Spider Man 2, but jesus the relationships between Lois/Supes/Richard were way more dramatic and believable than the ones in SM2, to say nothing of the nearly non existant character interaction in the Xmen movies (Magneto/Xavier elements not withstanding).

After seeing this movie again, I like it better than SM2, but not by a lot. This movie is much more dramatic and had much better acting, outside of Molina's performance. Spiderman 2 had more action and was paced better. As an old fart, I prefer Superman Returns. If I was younger I might feel differntly. Batman Begins is still the best of all the franchises, though.

Well, Batman Begins had ninjas.

Can't beat ninjas, unless yer a pirate! ARRRRR

Actually, those Ninjas took a ship at sea so that makes them Ninja Pirates. Batman Begins > all.
