I say the first 40 minutes of this movie are amazing and live up well to it's 2 predecesors, after that it gets a bit boring and too long in my opinion, but they shoulda still made at least one sequel to see how great the character's could've grown.
This movie is far better than people give it credit for. It's the true Superman III. I'm sad that WB chose to scrap the sequel and reboot, but I can understand. I'm just glad this film was able to be a satisfying cap to the original Superman movie franchise, unlike the awful messes that followed II.
As the earth moves through the universe we shall enter a sweet spot where energy and light straight from the center of the universe will fill our atmoshphere, and we all will become Super Men and Super Women. Living virtuous lives and doing things we only dreamed were possible. It's all coming soon. Stay with us, here we go.........
this film is totally underrated as part of the superman mythos, i'd put this film as #3 in the sequence of films- superman, superman 2 and superman returns, 4get bout superman 3 and 4 as the rubbish they are..
hey guys im watching the superman returns movie right now, can anyone answer my question? does lois lane know that superman is kent clark in the beginning? and how could she of had his baby and not know?
I honestly don't understand why people didn't accept this movie. I mean...come on...Superman: The Movie had some ridiculous moments worse than any in this one...like when Superman reverses Earth's rotation to turn back time...I mean...COME ON!
@mstrdk Tutti possiamo essere dei superman e fare cose piccole ma enormemente grandi per amici o per chi ha veramente bisogno!Mi impersono anch io in un superman ogni volta che riesco nell impresa di vedere sorridere qualcuno grazie a me!
@videozfann I think they're gonna use the original Superman theme in the new movie. I am the biggest Christopher Reeve fan and although I agree with your comment that Brandon should've done the sequel, I am still looking forward to the new movie in 2013.
Personally I thought that John Ottman's score to this Superman version was a little close to perfection compared to John Williams' original score from the first Superman movie,which was much more memorable and remarkable as hell!

@HEAVYMETALGODS86feb9 I know... Appreciate the heads up, though... I guess :P... By the way, I totally agree with you: Superman & Batman > Any other heroes. And, I feel for Chris Bale´s fans everywhere (though I just find the guy to be a "Tobey" Maguire-level douchebag, only way more talented... Just a thought), but Superman >>>>>> Batman & everyone else. So, I´ll drink to hardcore comic books everywhere... And to heavy goddamn metal.
@zenjim007 SUPERMAN and BATMAN have a lot in common its cool yes i dont have KRYPTON SUPERPOWERS it would be a HONOR AND badass epic cool to be a GOD/ THE MAN STEEL and save my BEAUTIFUL PLANET i call ... HOME i am only HUMAN like BATMAN still i would do extreme good and get all evil off my planet for SUPERMAN BATMAN lost there loved ones and so did i lost my BROTHER to MURDER and and my UNCLE to CANCER and my FATHER to a HEART ATTACK it make MANS PAIN IN HIS SOUL SO BEYOND IT CAN BE IN WORDS
@HEAVYMETALGODS86feb9 I know and share your pain. I lost my girl friend I loved so much to a horrible and senseless car accident; my dear niece was murdered : helped carry her casket and my little sister died as a baby. Life can be cruel and yet full of beauty at the same time; perhaps we can emulate the wisdom of these mythical heroes by calling deep within ourselves the strength and values that they hold dear to their hearts and do what we can fighting for our world.
Props for trying to be reminiscent of the great original intro .... But this simply doesn't have the same oomph! What made the first intro so great was that you had names like Marlon Brando, Gene Hackman, Christopher Reeve, Terrence Stamp, Mario Puzo, John Williams, and Richard Donner flying at you ... That is why it still remains the gold standard to which every other film in the superhero genre is measured against.
@PUNISHERWarzone87 Your comment is just as ignorant & ill-informed, so you honestly believe zionest owned trash like Jay-Z, Will Smith, Kanye West & whores like gaga, Rihanna etc have talent? Badger is 100% right, the soft porn 'stars' we have now are talentless & only can think with their cock or cunt. No one has the soul to write stuff like the original Superman theme. You must be tone deaf if you consider today's scum 'musicians'.
Funny how in 2006 they had to go back in time to 1978 to use music written by John Williams. Why couldn't Jay-Z or Will Smith or Kanye West have created some original music for this film, becasue we all know negroes make the greatest everything, right? Oh, that's right, the above mentioned clowns can't even read music.
The music is good in this one because its basically all based on the original; just like they recycled the originals Jor-el played by Marlon Brando. The costume here is just plain awful and sad looking; it looks like it was puked out of a rubber doll factory as opposed to the Kryptonian clothing placed in the ship by kal-el's mother to be spun by Martha Kent later into the Superman costume. Then there is the cast; most in this version are nobody s; where as the Original had blockbuster stars.
Does not have the impact of the original had with the action ace #1 comic book reading and the fill the entire screen S Superman emblem in the original and huge sounding swoosh of the credits. Singer is just a wannabe and Donner is the The Master. Reeves was the ultimate Superman in looks, style and the way he carried himself; every other actor was just a cheap imitation in comparison. If you dare think I am wrong; look at the box office figures; they work in Christopher Reeves favor!
This intro I think makes justice of the original of 1978! They respected the style and music. The actor did a very good job I think. Its not easy to come after Chris Reeve!
The intro of Superman The Movie from 1978 is waaay more awesome than this! Besides John Ottman composed this theme and it's basically the same theme as John Williams epic, with a slightly different sound to it. Christopher Reeve IS Superman, I find this movie great though, but not as fantastic as the older Superman movies.
Unlike many people apparently, I liked Superman Returns. Still pisses me off though how disparaging the makers were in not being able to get rid of John Williams' credit for the classic Superman theme in the title sequence fast enough.
I have to say as a Superman fan it's the little things that matter. If they decide to NOT use this intro music for the new Superman movie, it will be crap.
@MaxBialystock No, that isn't true at all. If they skip it, too bad. But it won't be a bad movie because of that. It's just stupid to think like that. It's a good score, but if they can come up with something better, why not?
@ValenciaFan1 I agree, the theme may be iconic, but they have proven that new scores can be on par if not better than others. Though MaxBialystock did kinda jump the gun and not think about other important things..oh say like...plot?...characters?...the Star Wars prequels had great music...it still sucked..think about that
This and the first Superman film are still the best films ever based on Superman. I have high hopes for the new one but I really am not sure about it as of right now. I loved Brandon Routh as Superman and If I ever made a Superman TV show, I'd ask him to reprise the role.
"Superman Returns" wasn't a bad movie, but Warner Bros. should've thought long and hard before they made it. None of the casting was bad, but it didn't measure up, and Bryan Singer just didn't bring the same versimilitude that Richard Donner did to his movies. But at least John Williams gave us some new music.
@DCH13000 True, but Williams did provide a couple new themes. Also, Singer approached Williams about doing a score, but he turned him down because he was scoring "Munich" (?) and had already turned down Richard Donner for the new cut of "Superman 2." He actually recommended John Ottman to Singer.
It's not the first time he's done that. He did the same thing with "Jurassic Park 3"--wrote new themes that other composers used. Hopefully he'll do at least that much for "Man of Steel."
@pyro2020 well marlon brando cant live forever u have to make new movies for the new audience man i love the first superman and i want to love the new man of steel as well!
@pyro2020 I think Russell Crowe is a great choise for playing Jor-El. Just because one person has played the role before doesn't mean it's impossible for someone else to do the role justice, which is exactly what I think Crowe will do.
The Man of Steel and the Amazing Spiderman are movies that I simply can't wait for!
@pyro2020 Marlon Brando created the character because he was the first to play it, but it is time for another generation of actors to embrace the mythology. Back then, it was amazing, but today, they can make a better story with better visual effects and improve acting which was lacking in the lasts. In 2012, I have really high expections indeed. The music gave birth to Superman too. I hope it'll be as good as the last Batmans, but not similar... well!
@pyro2020 I like Russell Crowe, and I can't wait to see how he portrays Jor El. If he doesn't do too well of a job, it won't matter much, because Marlon Brando didn't get much screen time to make a big impact anyway.
"Viajarás mucho, mi pequeño Kal-El, pero nunca te dejaré, ni siquiera en el rostro de nuestra muerte. Vas a hacer mi fuerza la tuya propia. Verás mi vida a través de tus ojos, como tu vida se verá a través de la mía. El hijo se convierte en el padre. Y el padre, en hijo."
huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡superchileeeeeee YA POOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo chita la payazada
@arnyjk good scene. but one thing bothers me and thats weight displacement. wouldn't an object of his size putting so much pressure on something just go straight through it? I know it's sad but it really bothers me when i see that scene. but as i said i still love it. torn!!! lol
I remember the months before this movie came out, everyone was hyped for the first Superman movie in over a decade the commercials were inescapable, especially the ones telling everyone to go and rent all 4 originals (that was before we knew Returns ignored 3 and 4) everyone did, myself included (my favorite was the second one) i liked this movie maybe cause i had never seen a Superman movie on the big screen before i'll have to rewatch it soon to see how it holds up
James Howard Newton is really good, but usually the movie he composes the music for doesn't get any award... Alan Silvestri is great too, but he should definitely stick to Captain America. Maybe one musical composer that nobody thinks is Howard Shore, the one that made the Lord of the Ring soundtrack. I know he could do it and Nolan gotta think of him. Otherwise, they could try someone new who has great music potential and can make things epic!
I am glad that they remake the whole story through other movies. The cast is very great, the producer is Nolan, the storywritter is Goyer and the director is Snyder. The only thing I am waiting for is who is gonna make the soundtrack of the movie? because this is an essential element for an amazing movie. I would have love John Williams again but he's becoming too old. Hans Zimmer could be a great pick, but he makes sad and dark music, which is not the right type for Superman
I was really surprised how many people disliked this movie. I thought it was the best in the series, and I've seen all the others multiple times since childhood. I don't know what people's beef with this movie is other than "I didn't like it," or "it was bad"
Brandon Routh should have been Superman in the new movie, he was perfect to replace Christopher Reeves, had all the looks , mannerisms, the talk , everything was spot on some one dropped the ball there
I just can't believe the studios are so quick to deem this movie a faliure. I know this movie was a success, but these guys are focusing on the money it didn't make. Honestly, it wasn't bad. I enjoyed it.
Christopher Reeve was always the best Superman. But Tom Welling comes in at a VERY close second and I think it's bullshit that he's not being cast as Clark in the new movie.
I'm sorry Youtube and I don't mean any offense, but you could never do this opening scene justice. You have to see it in a movie theater to get the full "shock and awe" feeling.
@Keewaf finally someone who also liked him as Superman! Henry Cavill will have to prove himself and Tom Welling is horrible. At least Routh somewhat looks and acts like Chris Reeves
@Theguitardude30 Exactly! Ugh, i was never into Smallville because of him. I think they could have found someone better for that show. I hope Henry Cavill won't ruin the next Superman movie for me. D:
I just re-watched Superman I and II, and I have to say Bryan Singer pretty much ripped off everything Richard Donner did. There's a difference between an homage or an "unofficial" sequel and just being lazy. He took dialogue, locations, music, credits sequences, set design, I mean dang. Now I dislike that movie even more than I did before and that's unfortunate because I still think Brandon Routh was the perfect find for the part.

@pyro2020 I think Russell Crowe is a great choise for playing Jor-El. Just because one person has played the role before doesn't mean it's impossible for someone else to do the role justice, which is exactly what I think Crowe will do.
The Man of Steel and the Amazing Spiderman are movies that I simply can't wait for!

@pyro2020 Marlon Brando created the character because he was the first to play it, but it is time for another generation of actors to embrace the mythology. Back then, it was amazing, but today, they can make a better story with better visual effects and improve acting which was lacking in the lasts. In 2012, I have really high expections indeed. The music gave birth to Superman too. I hope it'll be as good as the last Batmans, but not similar... well!

TheDoomArt 2 months ago
@pyro2020 I like Russell Crowe, and I can't wait to see how he portrays Jor El. If he doesn't do too well of a job, it won't matter much, because Marlon Brando didn't get much screen time to make a big impact anyway.

@arnyjk good scene. but one thing bothers me and thats weight displacement. wouldn't an object of his size putting so much pressure on something just go straight through it? I know it's sad but it really bothers me when i see that scene. but as i said i still love it. torn!!! lol

I remember the months before this movie came out, everyone was hyped for the first Superman movie in over a decade the commercials were inescapable, especially the ones telling everyone to go and rent all 4 originals (that was before we knew Returns ignored 3 and 4) everyone did, myself included (my favorite was the second one) i liked this movie maybe cause i had never seen a Superman movie on the big screen before i'll have to rewatch it soon to see how it holds up

James Howard Newton is really good, but usually the movie he composes the music for doesn't get any award... Alan Silvestri is great too, but he should definitely stick to Captain America. Maybe one musical composer that nobody thinks is Howard Shore, the one that made the Lord of the Ring soundtrack. I know he could do it and Nolan gotta think of him. Otherwise, they could try someone new who has great music potential and can make things epic!
sayenshin 6 months ago
I am glad that they remake the whole story through other movies. The cast is very great, the producer is Nolan, the storywritter is Goyer and the director is Snyder. The only thing I am waiting for is who is gonna make the soundtrack of the movie? because this is an essential element for an amazing movie. I would have love John Williams again but he's becoming too old. Hans Zimmer could be a great pick, but he makes sad and dark music, which is not the right type for Superman

I just re-watched Superman I and II, and I have to say Bryan Singer pretty much ripped off everything Richard Donner did. There's a difference between an homage or an "unofficial" sequel and just being lazy. He took dialogue, locations, music, credits sequences, set design, I mean dang. Now I dislike that movie even more than I did before and that's unfortunate because I still think Brandon Routh was the perfect find for the part.
