When Kal Penn (Harold and Kumar) plays a henchman, you know the casting is all wrong. While the Luther evil plot, is like Superman 1 all over again. Still, Kevin Spacey is way better than Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luther. While the film has it’s moments of excitement and heart.

Surprisingly good "super hero flick": Superman battles Lex Luthor once more. Luther stole some of Superman's crystals during Superman's search for his homeplanet. With these crystals Luther wants to create a new continent from which he hopes to rule the world. Since the creation of this new continent would also cause the destruction of the bigger part of northern America, Superman has to intervene!

Worst casted Superman movie EVER!!! I remember how all the actors complimented each other on their roles just to find out on release they were all just blowing smoke up each others' asses. Pfff!! What a joke!!! I personally think this movie ruined Brandon Routh's career. Avoid this MOVIE AT ALL COSTS!!!

Simon Massey's review is spot on. In summary, makes a very natural trilogy for the Christopher Reeve Superman 1 and 2 films. This is far superior to the horrendously dark and displeasing Man of Steel. It isn't perfect by any means. I like most of the cast, I like the atmosphere, but I could do with less romanticism. It's crying out for an extended cut to give it that final oomph. And the scenes of Superman flying are a real treat for someone who grew up with Reeve and Cain as his supermen. The use of the original John Williams score is excellent too. 7.25/10

A highly romanticised version of the Superman mythos, and a continuation of the first two originał Reeve films. Singer adheres to a lot of elements from these films, perhaps a little too much as he attempts to continue a story over 25 years old. There is a distinct melancholic feel to the film as S More

I don't know if i'd call this a reboot, remake or a sequel. It's a bit of everything yet nothing entirely. It's still a good movie that is underrated at 61 %.

I really appreciate all the little details and easter eggs that pay hommage to the original Superman movie. You can see that Singer is re More

The light to show the way.

After a five year hiatus, Superman returns to Earth to find that Lois Lane is now a soon to be married mother, but some things don't change, loony Lex Luthor is loose and his latest plan will kill billions of people.
