Superman Returns (DVD)

Clark Kent AKA Superman has been away from earth for a long time. In that time the world has moved on. Lois Lane is married with a son and Lex Luthor is serving a double life sentence in prison. Clark is able to pick up were he left off in his job as a reporter for "The Daily Planet" but what does the future hold for the "Man of Steel"? Does the world still need a saviour? "Superman Returns" is a film I really wanted to love. The same as pretty much every eighties child, I was a huge fan on the 1978 orginal. The music, the action and the whole feel of the late Christopher Reeve led original captivated me as a child and that ...  Read the complete review

Hello and welcome to my film review of Superman Returns, please note that I am revieing the film only. Nearly 30 years ago the world was given a film that has not only become legend but also a film that today can still be seen in the Cinema at special showings. In 1978 the first Superman was released and took the world by storm, we truly believed that a man could fly. Fast forward to 2006, well known for his directioon on the first two X-Men films Brian Singer released Superman Returns in cinemas. He has released a film that has quite literally split the fan base straight down the middle with regards to there opinions of the film itself. The reason? Simple, ...  Read the complete review

So, Batman Began, Daredevil sucked, and the X-Men and Spiderman went on and on… But should Superman Return? Well in truth this is essentially an updated version of the original, presumably done that way to cater for the endless sequels to come. Punters of all ages and sexes want to see these superhero summer spectaculars and so it’s inevitable they will keep making them, bigger and better, too, a hole menagerie of hero’s and villains yet to be explored on screen. I want to know when Captain America is going to be done. He has the coolest of Stars and Stripes shields and with the Silver Surfer out battling the world once again it would be the coolest of cage ...  Read the complete review

When I was a teen, I watched Superman, and then Superman II, and so on, until I was satisfied after having watched the franchise's group of films. But the series finished not so well. They perhaps overcooked it, and always talked of doing another film to boost Superman back into our lives. They did it in 2006, and called it 'Superman Returns'. The Plot Many years ago, once remains of Krypton had been found, Superman disappeared, seemingly never to return. Then, one day, he suddenly returns, many years later. he picks up his old job at the Daily Planet, disguised as Clark Kent, and is dismayed to find that his former love, Lois Lane, now has a family ...  Read the complete review

Superman returns rather quietly. It is a long time since the last time Superman thrilled his fans. In fact it is so long that some of the parents were little kids when the last time Superman came to the screen. This time there is no Christopher Reeves and Brandon Routh takes his place. Female lead role is played by Kate Bosworth. She (Lois Lane) is not with Superman anymore. He can’t understand why since he has only been away for few years. Lois writes articles which indicate that Superman is not all that he is made out to be and this hurts him. Most of the film is like this. Initially the life of Superman is explained than when he comes ...  Read the complete review
