Superman Returns spoilers...


I really loved the film. It was a bit longer than I thought it was going to be though...

I thought Superman and Clark were perfect. I liked seeing him run and enjoy his powers when young. But why did he wear glasses at that age? To prepare for a future life as a superhero???

Loved Lois. I know some people thought she was too soft, but other than the faint, I really liked her. I did think the "how many f's in catastrophe" was lame though. Even if someone thinks that word has a f in it, why would there be two f's??? And I wasn't sure what time it was set in, but there were mobile phones and computers, so presumedly spell-check?

Richard was so sweet. I loved him. It was really nice that they had a character like that to show the best the humanity had to offer. I still hope the sequel has Superman and Lois romance though :D

As for Lex, I thought there was a tendency to go a bit over the top/campy at times, but mostly I liked him. His scene with Lois was pretty good. It's a shame we only got confrontation scene with Superman though. I thought Lex being so sadistic there was interesting, but overall I would have preferred a more cool and calculating Lex.

I didn't like when Lois turned the plane around to save Superman, she should really have gotten her son to safety first. But oh well.


And I know Smallville and SR conferred, so I don't know if there were deliberate references to Smallville, but I noticed Lex referring to mythology just like our Lex does, and Lois saying that Superman never lies, which I took as a sort of wink at Smallville's Clark. Oh and I suppose that Jonathon was killed in season 5, to fit in with the film

Overall I really loved it, and Clark/Superman were my favourites :) I missed the tribute to Christopher Reeves though, I thought there would be one included in the end credits?

I have to say that Clark/Superman was the best part over everything else. Brandon Routh was totally perfect. And he's such a cutie *g*

I didn't know there would be a sequel to it. Cool!!

The movie was dedicated to both Christopher and his wife and I think that appeared at the end of the credits but I could be mistaken.

Brandon Routh is so lickable! *points to icon*

The dedication was in the credits right after the cast...it said "This film is dedicated with love and respect to Christopher and Dana Reeve" or something like that.

Oh right. Now I remember it was there. I knew it couldn't have been completely at the end. Thanks.

And yes, he really is. When I first saw the promos and first pictures for the movie I didn't really have an opinion on the guy but since seeing the movie I think he's a hottie :D I'm gonna have to go see the movie again.

The credits at the end of the film? Oh everyone had left by then *g* I was expecting the film to end with the tribute, but once the credits came up, everyone took off

I've been confirmed they aren't at the very end of the credits. They start with the major characters/actors and then the tribute appears before the credits follow in on stunt doubles and crew and stuff.
