Brendon Routh LOOKED way too young, there was zero chemistry with Kate Bosworth, and seemed like a virtual remake of the first Christopher Reeve Superman movie: Lex Luthor with massive real estate scheme, weapons of destruction, Marlon Brando's droning monotone, and John Williams score. Personally, I'd like to see Superman as Jerry Siegel created him, something of a wise-guy vigilante with a tough guy attitude. Once you get him to take charge he tells you to do what he says. He's a pumped FDR looking into corruption, and personifies America at it's strongest and most guileless. I think they need a total revamp.

FINALLY for those of you who thought there was not enough ass kicking on superman (returns) part...... go back and watch the original, chris reeve didnt throw a single punch in that one either, it was a chance to introduce reeve as superman then give him opponent's (general zod and co) in the sequel... this is all singer has been trying to do, "here is the new superman, this is where he's been, why he's been away, this is wat has happened to the other charaters since superman left, this is the new loius, this is luthur e.c.t now that we feel comfortable with that he WILL give them amazing things to do and new enimies to overcome in the sequel..... you cant rush action, without story or character structure action becomes irrelevent , it's like having a fight for no resaon! If WB are stupid enough to scrap singer and rouths sequel then they are just repeating the same mistake they made when they took dick donner away from completing supermanII…….. fans demanded and finally were awarded with dick donners far superior version of superman II which proved that - had donner been allowed to, he would have probibaly made a fantastic trillogy!!

It's just that the script for Superman Returns really didn't give him the opportunity to really have that. In fact, he doesn't really talk much in the movie (one of my only complaints with the film). Saying that, SR as a whole is much better than the last two Superman films, especially Superman III (horrible). I have watched Look Up in the Sky, and I still have the same opinion as before. Now, watch Superman III and understand that as a whole, Superman Returns was actually pretty good. I believe Superman: Man of Steel, if done right, has great potential if done right, and if they don't try to reboot the franchise. I really don't like how studios are frequently considering rebooting franchises. Either makes a sequel reguardless if the first one made $100 million less than expected and just make a really great sequel, or wait 10-15 years and THEN reboot.

There was a definite flutter of excitement, even with the broadway musical play that plummeted featuring Bob Holiday. Just watch the recent dvd documentary of LOOK UP IN THE SKY: The Amazing Story Of Superman which is an excellent recap with celebrity commentaries, and then decide, who is the real man of steel. Lately, my ideal Superman has been kept alive by the latest DC COMIC issues. . . hoo-ee! But I did like the Superman Returns CD. The music is better than the movie itself, by far. Routh looks good as Superman, but he has lack of charisma to make me loose my seat in the audience. Way too laid back and nonchalant, for a Superman coping and learning to live and love his earthling pals.

Marvel is already daying, that The Avenger s movie will be made and Jon Favreau(Ironman Director) wants to direct the film not until all of Marvel''s finest have had their feature film. Anyway, Superman The Man of Steel whould still get made, WB is in the middle of the WGA strike and depending how things may or may not go, this strike will affect Smallville, Supeman sequel and any other Superman projects in the works. Let's pray to God that this WGA strike finishes with a positive note, Superman is my all time favorite crime fighter of all time, Batman, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Batgirl, Robin, Nightwing, Superboy and all other famous iconic DC characters follow afterwards. I also, want to see Supergirl The Girl of Steel return to the big-screen with her big role-model cousin Superman. I want Hayden Panettiere to get the role because, She is a wonderful actress, I love her and She is a Supergirl figure in Heroes as Claire Bennett-Petrelli. Go Hayden!!! Get that role make me proud!!!. Merry Belated Christmas Superman fans and Happy 2008 to you all. FOR THIS REASON I'VE SENT TO YOU MY ONLY SON KAL-EL!!! YOU HAVE GREAT POWERS EVENTHOUGH YOU'VE BEEN RAISED AS A HUMAN BEING YOU ARE NOT ONE OF THEM!!! JOR-EL of KRYPTON. Thanks, For Supporting THe Man of Steel!!! Get Superman Returns on DVD, HD-DVD, BLU-RAY Disc or All Three I plan too later on.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Superman fans! Thus we avoid the infinitely wretched sequel to the depressing miasma of SR. Routh played Superman like a dead fish, with all the charm of blank slate and the energy of milk toast. Singer confused depression for emotional drama, thus we got the most limpid, apathetic, pulseless cardboard Superman ever. All of the life and color was purposefully drained out of the movie to stimulate a faux-tragic romance worthy of the Lifetime channel. So, cheers to new beginnings. And may George Miller crack the whip to get his project in shape. His cast (as it is now rumored) sucks, but he, Barrie Osborne, and WETA shouldn't be underestimated. It doesn't guarantee JLA will be any good, but it's a stable foundation to build on. Booting Singer and Routh is the best news to come out in ages. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Superman fans!

The first film was a disaster and no sequel can convince the massive audience for a Superman film otherwise. Superman is the most powerful superhero of all time - you don't pay tribute to Christopher Reeve and make it sappy and give it homoerotic undertones and waste an unlimited budget. Superman should be like Beowulf x 1 million in terms of startling action. So why does it sound like Thor is now the most epic of superhero franchises?
