Great film, but just above average Blu-Ray
Added 3/15/2010
I'm a fan of this movie, but the BD isn't that great. Video quality ain't bad, but the photography of the film overall doesn't make for a detailed Blu-ray experience, except in some external day time scenes. Audio on the other hand is excellent. Extras are the same of the 2-Disc DVD, so nothing new and the deleted scenes, unlike advertised on the back cover aren't in HD. Overall I give this BD a 7/10.

Suprman Returns... Not All Good
Added 2/8/2010
I generally liked the movie, but why can't the Liberal Hollywood agenda take a break? Why did they have to have Lois Lane pregnant out of marriage?
They went out of their way to advance their agenda, instead of making a movie all Superman fans and others could watch without any moral objections!
Dukes of Hazzard remake had to have pot at the end, etc.
I heard they are going back to the drawing board and remaking Superman again.
This time fellas, just make a great movie, and keep your liberal agenda out of it.
They had Lois get pregnant out of wedlock, but they decided to hide Superman's real-sized 'package'.
Seems inconsistent to me.

Bryan Singer's take on the Man of Steel. Said to be a sequel to SUPERMAN & SUPERMAN II, it lacks the feel of the Donner film and not even the Donner/Lester amalgamation that is the 2nd film. I like Brandon Routh as Kent/Superman. He isn't Christopher Reeve but he does a pretty decent job. Kevin Spacey is a truly vile and vicious Lex Luthor, Parker Posey a trip as his girlfriend Kitty. Frank Langella is ok as Perry White (stepping in after Hugh Laurie had to bow out), Sam Huntington a good Jimmy Olson and Eva Marie Saint as Ma Kent. As the acting goes, the weak link is Kate Bosworth. She is such a lousy Lois Lane. What killed this project -- it was a $200 million production that made money but not enough (movies have to do double their cost to break EVEN) -- it is dark, it is violent and long and kinda boring. What Singer managed to infuse into the X-Men franchise he couldn't do for the Man of Steel. Will we see another Superman adventure on the big screen? I am confident. It might be years but you can't keep a good man down.

Superman Returns DVD movie.
Added 1/20/2010
I am not A Super Man fan, but I thought the movie was good, except Kevin Spacey who I can't stand due to his political stance. So it was Appropriate for him to be the Villain in my opinion.Overall though the movie is enjoyable to watch. I give it 3-4 1/2 stars.

Bryan Singer's Man of Steel is a Weak Link
Added 1/15/2010
Bryan Singer did a phenomenal job with the X-MEN movies but his SUPERMAN RETURNS shows an obvious love for the Christopher Reeve movies -- but a serious misunderstanding as far as what makes Superman appealing. This is a weird, unsatisfying film that's just not funny or even romantic in any regard.
The reason being is that Singer brings his own personal agenda into the franchise where it doesn't belong. Superman here is a deadbeat dad with a bastard son -- elements that NO prior Superman story ever had -- and that entire subplot of the movie doesn't work at all. Do you want to see Batman or Spider-Man as a single parent? Singer should have made his own personal story about this material, not tried to graft it onto a Superman film. The casting also fails to work -- Kate Bosworth is a disaster as Lois, and there's no chemistry between her and Brandon Routh, who does what he can with the limp dialogue but also fails to register. Kevin Spacey likewise doesn't come across well as Lex Luthor.
There's a lot of talk but not a lot of fun here. Tellingly, SUPERMAN RETURNS failed to deliver on its initial box-office grosses -- and as fans have stated ever since the movie came out, nobody wanted to see this film's story (with Superman's "super kid" offspring) carried forward. Thus, the franchise is dead again -- fans can stick with the later seasons of SMALLVILLE instead, which are far more satisfying despite taking their own liberties with the material.
