Superman Returns vurderinger og anmeldelser
- Nathan McCoy12. juli 2025This was my introduction to Superman when I was a teenager. I loved it then, I love it now. Sure, it has some work points, but the acting, set pieces music are all great, and Routh portrayed Superman and Clark Kent as well as Christopher Reeves. Solid 8.5/10 for me
- ርልዪረ12. juli 2025While Superman Returns has its issues i don't think it deserves its reputation as a bad movie. To start i don't think the cast was that bad. Brandon Routh was a good Superman but i do think he was too young, perhaps if he played Superman today he would be better suited for the role. Kate Bosworth i do find to be the weak link in the cast, her Lois Lane comes off as very unlikable and self centered. maybe it was the way she was written but Lois needed to be improved and i think Parker Posey would have been a better fit. Kevin Spacey (say what you will) is probably my favorite Lex Luthor in the films and steals every scene he's in. James Marsden is fine and the rest of the cast whose actor's names escape me at the moment (Jimmy Olsen, Perry White, Martha Kent) all did fine. I get the complaints such as the slower pacing/length and this film borrowing elements from the original films like Lex's real estate scheme (again). All i can say about the pacing/length is that the film kept me interested so that didn't bother me. As for borrowing elements from the original films, again it just did bother me. We live in a world were the Force Awakens is practically a remake of Star Wars 1977 and most aren't bothered by that (although some are and i get why). As for the lack of action, all i can say is once again that didn't bother me, and i saw this film more a drama with Superman. While i get that many people don't want a drama about Superman, that's what we got and while there are some really impressive set pieces (airplane scene, chain-gun robbery, saving Metropolis, and lifting the island at the end). Having it be like Man Of Steel with the action cranked up to 11 would feel out of place in this film in my opinion. In all i get why most of my friends don't like Superman Returns and I'll admit it has issues, but I've always liked it. I'll also admit i saw it in theaters when i was just a kid in 2006 so i do have a certain nostalgia for the film. That said i don't think the film is deserving of its reputation of being one of the worst Superman films and i will continue to re-watch the film in my future.

- Manuel Frangis15. april 2025I just watched Superman Returns, and I give it 5 out of 5 stars. This movie hit me in a way I honestly did not expect. It is not the loudest or flashiest superhero movie out there, but that is what makes it special. It is thoughtful, emotional, and full of heart. It captures the spirit of Superman in a way that feels genuine and old school, like a love letter to everything the character has stood for over the years. Right from the beginning, the tone feels different. It is slower, more patient, and not in a rush to throw action at you every five minutes. The story focuses on Superman’s return to Earth after being gone for years, and how everything — and everyone — has moved on without him. That idea alone makes the whole movie feel more emotional. It is not just about saving the world. It is about finding your place in it again. Brandon Routh does an amazing job stepping into the role. His performance is calm, kind, and full of quiet strength. He is not trying to outshine Christopher Reeve, but he absolutely honors him. You can tell he understands the character and what he represents. His Superman is full of hope, even when he is dealing with heartbreak and change. He plays Clark Kent with the right mix of awkwardness and sincerity, and you believe both sides of the character. The relationship between Superman and Lois Lane is at the heart of the movie, and it is handled with real emotion. Kate Bosworth brings a strong presence as Lois. You can tell she still feels something for him, but her life has changed, and she is not the same person who once waited for Superman to come back. Their scenes together are quiet and loaded with unspoken feelings, and it adds a layer of depth that surprised me. Kevin Spacey plays Lex Luthor, and his version is cold, manipulative, and theatrical in a way that works for this story. He is not just out to destroy the world. He wants power, control, and revenge. The movie lets him be clever, cruel, and dangerous without turning him into a cartoon. He fits right into the more grounded tone the movie is going for. The visuals are stunning. The flight scenes, the rescue sequences, and the wide shots of Superman in the sky are all beautifully done. There is a grace to the way he moves, and the score — with those classic John Williams themes — brings it all together perfectly. The music gives the movie that timeless Superman feel and lifts every emotional moment just a little higher. What I loved most is how the movie never forgets what Superman is really about. Hope. Sacrifice. Doing the right thing, even when it is hard. It is not about showing off superpowers. It is about showing the strength it takes to care about people and protect them no matter what. That message comes through loud and clear. I give Superman Returns 5 out of 5 stars because it reminded me what makes Superman such a special character. It is emotional, respectful, and full of heart. It may not be perfect, but it understands who Superman is, and it delivers something honest and real. Overall Superman Returns is a beautiful, thoughtful take on the Man of Steel that deserves way more credit. It moved me, and I will definitely be rewatching it again.
- James Saenz5. august 2025“but millions of people will die!” “billions! once again, the press underestimates me.” this was the first movie i ever saw in theaters where the whole room applauded at the end, as superman flew out into space right before the credits rolled. as a kid, that was a really formative moment and i retain a lot of sentimentality for this picture because of it. it’s such a beautifully crafted film, with great production design and some genuinely astonishing cinematography; there’s constantly interesting framing, from longer cuts to the quickest few seconds of a shot (like using glasses as a lens to view kid clark); or the way the action is choreographed and how the camera moves around a constantly shifting environment; or even the way the camera moves in what would typically be a basic expositional scene greatly enhances the look of the movie. despite the massively differing aesthetic, it’s the only superman adaptation to date whose cinematography has ever rivaled the original 1978 film’s. it’s just a shame that mostly everything else is painfully middling and constantly verging on boring. i like brandon routh well enough as an actor, but both his portrayal of clark and superman feel disengaged. there’s next to zero chemistry between him and lois, who kate bosworth struggles to breathe personality into. the best bit of character work in this entry is honestly lex luthor, whose affection for ludicrously convoluted plans and beachfront property is carried over from the original series. the actual narrative never feels particularly engaging, but i do like how patient it is; i just wish it took that time to provide more substantial character interactions. p.s. parker posey i am BEGGING you for a chance just one chance please.
- Corey Burkes31. januar 2026The airplane catch sequence remains the greatest show of Superman‘s dedication and strength. Re-watching this again reminds me where are the current Superman practically nipped quite a bit of the plot. Lex Luther, the destruction of Metropolis, though a different film it wasn’t too far removed from this movie. I guess it was best to play it safe.
- maub1722. august 2025I loved it. A bit slow and a simple plot, but the airplane-shutter scene is outstanding
