    Took the missus and mother in law to go see this last night
    Overall not a bad movie, and it would’ve gotten a 5/10 had it not been for the usual superman flaws:
    -He’s “returned” but still wears his underpants on the outside. He shouldn’t be called Superman, but perhaps Captain Underpants !
    -The world he lives in is inhabited by superstupid humans who can’t recognise or figure out the fact that Superman, who appears picture perfect in so many tabloids, and Clarke Kent are one and the same guy.
    -Lois Lane, the love of his live, whom Superman slept with, can’t figure out that her ideal man, and the annoying geek at work called Kent, is the same guy
    -Superman is the man of steel and bullets bounce of his eyes, and yet his outfit never get’s damaged or torn or burnt. Maybe his outfit is the outfit of steel then ?

    Maybe I’ve lost the child inside of me and think Superman and Santa Clause belong in the same category – For kids under 5
    Give me Xmen or Spiderman anyday

    1/10

    I thought the file was quite good really.

    Those flaws you pointed out are there and have been in all the films and tv series!, but i guess it part of the superman way.

    |Spiderman and X men are very good though 🙂 new spiderman film next year i saw a trailer for!

    Don’t think its a film i’d go and watch at the cinema more a home movie. Christopher Reeves is still the only Superman – and picking someone who looks like him is kind of creepy 😕

    Urrrm regarding the Dutchman post.. You do realise Superman is based on a comic book and in comics you can pretty much get away with anything.. Have you ever heard of any guy in the world who can stop a bullet with his eye.. or can fly etc etc..

    I think maybe a film I’m about to make up for you title “SuperGay” .. is more to your liking, its pretty much the same idea as superman except when he’s like shot, parts of his clothes fall off to a point in which he’s totally naked and then he starts to bum the guy who owns the daily Planet!!.. I think if you want to see a naked buffed up superhero, thats th film you should take your boyfriend to see next time 😀

    I havent seen the film yet, but I do wish instead of it being lex luther, it should be someone like Braniac for a change..

    I’ll still be going to see it as I’m a bit of a superhero fan 😀

    There’s a script knocking around on the net that Kevin Spacey wrote based on the ‘death of superman’ story, involving Brainiac and Doomsday that would make a fantastic film… unfortunately it was rejected by the studio. Ho hum.

    Superman returns was pretty good, one thing that bothered me though..

    highlight below for spoiler..

    By the end of the film Lois knows that the kid is Supermans right? But she doesn’t remember that she slept with Superman (her memory of that was erased at the end of superman2, which is why she doesn’t remember that Clarke is Superman. So…. does she think he date raped her or what? Slipped her some super-rohypnol or something?

    Pah! Here’s the real story between Lois and Clarke, as discussed in the film ‘Mallrats’:

    T.S. Quint: But they’re engaged.

    Brodie: Doesn’t matter, can’t happen.

    T.S. Quint: Why not? It’s bound to come up.

    Brodie: It’s impossible, Lois could never have Superman’s baby. Do you think her fallopian tubes could handle the sperm? I guarantee you he blows a load like a shotgun right through her back. What about her womb? Do you think it’s strong enough to carry her child?

    T.S. Quint: Sure, why not?

    Brodie: He’s an alien, for Christ sake. His Kyrptonian biological makeup is enhanced by earth’s yellow sun. If Lois gets a tan the kid could kick right through her stomach. Only someone like Wonder Woman has a strong enough uterus to carry his kid. The only way he could bang regular chicks is with a kryptonite condom. That would kill him.

    Plus, whilst we’re on the subject of ‘Superman’, is it just me or does his name sound like an internet tag.

    Superman: “Hi I’m Superman.”

    Nerd: “Hi I’m Ultimate Sex God.”

    Superman: “I’m sorry, you’re what?”

    Nerd: “I’m Ultimate Sex God. Well U1imat5exGod, to be precise.”

    Superman: “Well what makes you and Ultimate Sex God? I’m called Superman because I’m ‘super’. I do super things.”

    Nerd: “Says who? Who says you do super things? Sure faster than a speeding bullet is pretty good, but if you were faster than light, that would be even better. That would be ‘super’ in fact.”

    Superman: “Hey! Who are you to question my name Ultimate Sex God? You look like the kind of guy who jerks off to WoW.”

    Nerd: “I’ve had sex loads of times! With women! Besides, at least I don’t wear ladies tights. N00b.”

    Superman: “Yeah? Well I cum like a shotgun. You ghey fagg0r! Pwned!”

    Nerd: “No, you’re owned! My hairstyle isn’t stuck in the 1950’s, Bill Haley! Or should I say Bill Gayley!”

    Superman: “I’m gonna rip your fucking ankles off you little shit!”

    They had sex in Superman 2 after he went in that chamber thing and had his powers removed…. so he was just a normal bloke when the shagging occured.

    Insane, I do realise Superman is based on a comic book and in comics you can pretty much get away with anything..

    BUT, most other movies try to explain why things are the way they are. So superman is superhuman as he’s an alien and inherits special abilities blah blah blah.
    Spiderman got bitten by a radio active spider and blah blah blah
    The X-men and women got that way through mutations of their DNA and blah blah blah
    Batman, we’ll he’s just a guy with anger issues !

    At least in Spiderman we see Spidey having to weave his suite back together, which hopefully kirsten dunst will do in the 3rd one for him.
    Batman Begins explains the reason behind his bulletproof suite and other gadgets

    I need things explained, ask Max, I can’t go on assumptions like if this dude is Superman then his clothers are superstrength too

    Still sticking with my believe that Superman is for kids, and not the kid in you.
    Now Transformers, that’s gonna appeal to the kid in you !

    His clothes were made from the super strong fabric found in the ship when he originally arrived on earth.

    Or, alternatively

    Supermans invulnerability extends outwards from his body a couple of mm or so, his clothes are within that field.

    I liked it.

    A bit disturbing on times tho as the new thuperman sounds exaclty like chris reeve.

    Its a great follow on to the first two films and if you are familier with the films then you should like this. Come of it if your as old as me then seeing Superman revamped and swatting bullets like flies then youre going to like it!!!
