I saw it in theaters once, but then after a long wait for it to be released on DVD, I have watched it sixteen times in six days!!!!! I have seen the old Christopher Reeve Superman movies to many times to count, I just watched it two times yesterday from my TiVo. I have read all of Christopher Reeve's books, and I cried when my Superman past away. When I saw one day while seeing a movie a trailer for the upcoming movie Superman Returns, that was all that I could think about! I wasn't exited just because they were continuing the legend, but the star of Superman was, and is a total hottie!!! I have posters all over my room, and printed pictures plastered over the wall behind my bed. My friends call me the SuperFreak!! If they don't make a sequel to this absolutely amazing film, I will be SO SO mad! My congrats to Brandon and his to be bride (although I wish I were in her shoes). I hope that your marriage will last. Hope to see Brandon on screen again soon! Your #1 American Fan, Kate K. PS. I would like to see Brainiac in the Sequel!!!! The movie was incredible!!

A good story line. There needs to be intrigue. How about Kent, Lois, and Jimmy doing a story in Whakastan and finding out that terrorists have a radio active substance with krypnonite in it. As a Superman fan over 50...YIKES!!!I feel that some where in the movie Superman has to recognize/show honor to our men and women in uniform. Maybe a simple salute to the American Flag, or maybe before Superman goes to battle against Zod, Lex, etc. he does a fly over at Normandy. Do you realized how many veterans, families of soldiers and veterans would see the movie multiple times just to see a five second scene like that? They'll make their 200 million.

This is Superman we're talking about, and with the exception of the airplane/shuttle rescue sequence, there was too much brooding in the storyline, and no real moments for the audience to cheer. Not your usual fare for a summer movie. Any Superman sequel needs to introduce more robust and vibrant villians, like Metallo, Braniac or (I really wish...) Doomsday. Singer had a chance to blend "Superman Returns" with the Doomsday/Death of Superman comic series. If he had done that, he could have brought back Superman for the next sequel titled "Superman Lives" or something like it. Well, it's too late now, but if Superman is ever to reclaim his place in comic filmdom, the sequel needs to generate incredible word-of-mouth buzz & action. A lower budget is no excuse for a less-than-thrilling movie; there are lots of mid-level CGI companies who will bid for the contract and do a great job. The question is will Bryan Singer take a "no-hold barred" approach, or softball the sequel with a ho-hum storyline? Bryan, if you're out there and happen to stumble on this post, PLEASE WRITE A COMPELLING STORYLINE COMBINED WITH HARD-CORE ACTION FOR THE SUPERMAN SEQUEL. MAKE AMERICA CHEER FOR SUPERMAN AGAIN, LIKE IN "SUPERMAN 1 AND 2"!! I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT, SO DO IT!!!

The only reason they even made money this time was because it was the long awaited return of superman to the big screen but they could even do that right. Spiderman and Batman were great comic book movies, which gave me high hopes for superman, but they had to mess up on the greatest super hero of them all.

Thats my take on it, a movies down fall comes when you over do it with effects, the less money you spend on a bujet, the more the movie will make, thats just how it gose.

Domestic, Overseas, Merchandise will all cover costs, will they make money?, who knows, but I doubt they will lose money. I guarantee there will be a sequel, with a slightly smaller budget(Im sure quite a few lessons were learned the first time around), and if that doesn't do well, then its done, but not until then. Comic book movies are all the rage right now and Superman is their daddy, now that it has been reestablished the test will be Superman Returns 2. It would be crazy to think they would just abandon Superman, absolutely crazy talk.
