    America's favorite superhero reappears in Bryan Singer's Superman Returns, and all we can say is, "Man, oh Man of Steel, it's good to have you back."

    It's all about heart - not that the spectacle falters; this is the finest popular entertainment since the Rings trilogy closed. Superman doesn't fly - he soars.

Awesome film. Anyone who has not seen the power of this film should experience it..… Expand

    Dull, plodding, boring, pedestrian, lacking drama, lacking romance, and especially lacking ACTION. who thought it was a good idea to make a Superman movie without any action/adventure save one or two scenes? Awful flick.… Expand
