It's been five long years since Superman (Brandon Routh) defeated General Zod and his cronies (in Superman II). Five years since the Man of Steel mysteriously disappeared. And now he's back. Metropolis is still there. So's the Daily Planet, with Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth), editor Perry White (Frank Langella) and photographer Jimmy Olsen (Sam Huntington). But the world has moved on. Lois even won a Pulitzer Prize for her 'Why The World Doesn't Need Superman' article. It seems that the Man of Steel no longer has a part to play, that the people of Earth are fine without him. And then Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey) is sprung from prison. And an ominous shadow looms over the planet once more...

Slow story, not enough action as you would expect from a super heroe film. HD transfewr is good in places, but no real action to show it off.

superman returns

uktot from from lincoln, 6th August, 2008

this tiitle is most appropriate as the film never played past halfway and i kept having to return to the start to try to get it to play again and again, eventually i just gave up and sent it back, so i only ever saw about the first half. mind you, if it didn't get any better past what i saw - probably didn't miss too much!!!

Super FX but slow story

Michael Easley from Telford, England, 18th August, 2007

I'd been looking forward to this, but I must admit it left me a little disappointed. I expected the special effects to be amazing - and they are. I expected the Dolby TrueHD soundtrack to be stunning - and it is. The problem with this movie is a bit more fundamental. It's a poor story and it goes on far too long. Despite a promising start where Our Hero returns to earth to find his ex is now a mum & is shacked-up with a colleague, this dilemma is never really explored. The rest is standard fare, nothing we haven't seen before. 3 stars for the sound and video, the film itself would rate only 2.

A Customer from Cambridge, England, 23rd October, 2007
