Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/25/25 Full Review matthias s **Review: *Superman Returns* (2.5/5 stars)** Rewatching *Superman Returns* after a full Superman marathon was like digging up an old love letter—nostalgic, sweet, but a little awkward in hindsight. It *looks* like Superman, it *feels* like Superman, and John Williams’ iconic score still gives me goosebumps (best superhero theme ever, no question). Brandon Routh is a solid tribute to Reeve’s legacy—more homage than sequel, which I appreciate. But man, that 154-minute runtime? For *this* story? It drags harder than a Kryptonian fight in slow motion. Trim it to 100 minutes and you'd have a tight, charming Superman flick. The cast is solid, though I never quite bought into this version of Lois Lane. There’s heart here, no doubt, but it’s buried under bloated pacing and a story that never quite lifts off. A missed opportunity, but not without its earnest charm. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/21/25 Full Review Luke B I think Brandon Routh is a very good Superman. The movie drags significantly at points but I think overall I enjoy it. The whole thing about Superman being gone for 5 years is dumb and that he slept with Lois and had a kid and she never told him is also kinda dumb. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/15/25 Full Review John S Reading other reviews here I can't help but wonder if everyone saw the same film I did, or just merely enjoy tearing things to shreds for fun. Superman Returns is not a perfect film and as with the 4 films that came before it, something is missing. But... Compared to those 4 films, this is a loving tribute to the greatest super hero of them all and infinitely more watchable than all of the Christopher Reeve films combined. The Lex Luthor threat within is admittedly less than stellar but thankfully it's at long last a Superman film to take seriously, and truly examine the concept what it would mean for the world to have a godlike saviour like Superman. Additionally, Brandon Routh is a stately, gentle and internally wise man of steel, without all the goofy, cringeworthy Clark Kent quick-change gags that weighed down some of the previous films. I'll agree that Superman Returns is meandering (ie: too long), but it's a respectful story that was lovingly crafted and something Superman fans can be proud to enjoy without clinging to nostalgia for something embarrassingly not as good as you remembered as a kid. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/15/25 Full Review David D I was beyond excited when Superman returns was coming out, I was taken to the premiere as a surprise. As I sat in the theater and watched the film I was shocked how it was poorly written and the dialogue ridiculous. On top of all this the on screen story was incredibly boring. When the movie ended I couldn’t believe how much I did not like the film or anything in it. In my opinion I think they should’ve went in a different direction rather than tying it to Superman 2 with Christopher Reeve. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/14/25 Full Review Audience Member Highly underrated exciting film showcasing Superman‘s feats as legacy sequel to Christopher Reeves first two films. Kevin Spacey performs in my opinion in one of the greatest performances of Lex Luthor in our generation, Brandon Routh Embodies the essence of Superman.
