cyrana Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 1st, no spoilers please. It's out here in the States, but they've got like two weeks in UK, and I'm not sure about elsewhere. I did like the movie, but not as much as Batman Begins. Having said that, I'm still thinking about it, so I guess that says something. It is a bit slow at times, but it is a fairly decent character movie, and not as silly as the other Superman movies I saw as a kid. The Lex stuff seemed only ancillary; not a main point (don't spoil it ). (off topic, but there was no Spiderman teaser, but I thought there was supposed to be one w/the film) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21040-superman-returns/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swad Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing this one. In general, I think the comic book remakes in the past few years have been better than their old versions (ie Batman).

Takuro Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I was glad that this movie had a bit of a comic-ish feel to it. Batman Begins aimed at being too "realistic," which ruined it for me. They tried to get rid of cliches like "I'll thwart your devious plan now, Joker" and instead aimed for scientific explanations of every little thing, as well as military-style "batmobile." Come on... it's a movie. Superman was full of comic cliches, but hey... it's entertaining. Is it just me, or did the Superman outfit look a lot less colorful than it usually is? The "S" symbol looked really faded. Maybe it was because he was away for so long.

Mr. Bond Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I think it's just you, Takuro...the suit seemed really plastic and cartoony to me. It didn't have that "real" outfit look that I like in superman, but more of a feel that it was just a big CGI creation. That, and his tendency to always talk in a deep commanding voice.

mifki Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Yeah, in some parts of the movie, superman looked so CGI (even htough he was in those parts) he looked like a rubber doll, but it was a good film, very good Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21040-superman-returns/#findComment-140392 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weebs Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 To be honest, I think it was TERRIBLE. Was honestly probalby the most predictible movie I've ever seen... Also the plot wasn't great, and it wasn't even a big part of the story.

gwprod12 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I thought it was okay. Kevin Spacey was a good Lex Luthor. I could have done without Parker Posey tho.

domino Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 hummm, It takes a 15min boat ride and 45min drive to watch that movie. So i'm still downloading it. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21040-superman-returns/#findComment-145180 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackentangled Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 not as good as expected (my POV, of course)... i mean it's the return of the man of steel, why have lex luthor as villain when they could have super villains like Brainiac, Darkseid, Conduit, Metallo, Mr. Mxyztptlk, or better yet Doomsday? but in fairness, the film ambience was great.
