Synopsis

For five years, Superman (Brandon Routh) has been away from Earth, coaxed into space by a belief that Krypton may still exist. Finding nothing, he comes back to a changed world--not only has terrorism become rampant, but Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth) has married, started a family, and won the Pulitzer for her piece 'Why the World Doesn't Need Superman'. After a stop in Smallville to see his adopted mother (Eva Marie Saint), Superman is back in Metropolis, and Clark Kent has his old job back at the Daily Planet, with everyone still incredibly oblivious to his alter ego. But where there's Superman, there's Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey), and he is likely to be planning something dastardly--in this case, using a piece of pilfered kryptonite to grow an entirely new continent that he will control. Bryan Singer (X-MEN 1 and 2), armed with a script by Dan Harris and Michael Dougherty, approaches the red cape with reverence for the lore of the character, and respect for Richard Donner's SUPERMAN (1980) and Richard Lester's 1980 sequel, films that ushered in the era of the modern superhero film. Singer's SUPERMAN is filled with melancholy, and not so subtly suggests the notion of Superman as a Christ figure, sacrificing himself to save mankind. But there are still laughs, mostly courtesy of Spacey (clearly having a blast) and Parker Posey as his moll, Kitty Kowalski, as well as plenty of gasp-inducing set pieces, including a spectacular and terrifying near plane crash and a sinking boat. While modern visual effects have allowed Superman to reach entirely new realms, Singer keeps them from becoming the film's raison d'etre, thus keeping the Man of Steel's gigantic heart intact--heavy though it may be.

5.0 out of 5 stars 'Superman Soars', 20 May 2007
By David Lawson (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Have just watched this on my PS3...What can I say! Don't listen to any critics, especially those who havn't seen. Because 'seeing' IS believing!! This is a truly superlative movie. from a Director at the height of his powers, one who is only beging to tap into his creative potential. The casting is superb. Kate Bosworth, an inspired choice for Lois Lane & Kevin Spacey adding another dimension to the dark side of megolomaniac Lex Luthor, but its Brandon Routh who breathes new life into a role he was surely born to play. He convinces totally as both Clark Kent & his alter-ego: Superman. this is a movie made with..LOVE! Bryan Singer knows his subject and his direction is flawless...
The blu-ray transfer is impeccable at 1080i & is richly detailed & textured. You really will believe a man can fly! Even the most dramatic sequences are pin sharp & boast unrivalled picture clarity. The colour palette is vibrant & real. The 5.1. DD sound mix is also outstanding & the musical score fantastic & also pays respectful homage to its predecssors. Sounds are placed pricecely & accurately with perfect base & resonance that truly will test your subwoofer!
I can't recommend this movie enough. If you love film, this has to be in your collection. If you own a blu-ray player or a wonderful Playstation 3 then this will demonstrate just what blu-ray can do...

Buy this today. Its a truly worthwhile cinematic experience. Can't wait till the next adventure in 2009...!

5.0 out of 5 stars The quality and the film itself!, 22 Jun 2007
By T. Scott "Scottietom" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Right, first of all, as soon as you put this disc in you see superman's planet get distroyed, a bit of a flashback, the way that this is redone is brilliant, quality is 100% and crisp, the Red sun's quality is unbelievable. THE WHOLE MOVIE is Entirely Crisp!! This is the type of Blu-Ray which you should get as it includes special effects so you can really get the most out of blu-ray. High Recommendation and a great film!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful love story, 11 Aug 2008
By Mr. M. Hassan (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A lot of people I know who saw the film were disappointed by it: "there's no action!" "he didn't use his powers" etc. The problem is people wanted a film based on the comics, where you have OTT villians and most of the film being a free for all.

I didn't have any expectations when I first saw the film, and therefore any opinion was based solely on what was presented. The first reaction is this is visually stunning! The essential way of gaining appreciation for this film is to watch it on blue ray. The picture quality is absolutely crystal clear.

Brandon Routh is Superman! There's so much pressure on him being his first film, and as Clark and particularly Superman, he was awesome. The rest of the cast, especially Kevin Spacy were also great. This film is about Superman being in the 21st Century, and his story of reintegration is beautifully told.
