DISQUS

WILL THEY EVER BE SOMEONE WHO LOOKS AS MUCH LIKE CHRISTOPHER REEEVE AS ROUTH DOES? ITS AN EEIRE RESEMBLENCE.
IN MY OPINION THATS THE BIGGEST REASON WHY ROUTH WORKS SO WELL AS THE MAN OF STEEL IS THE EASY TRANSITION FROM REEVE TO ROUTH.

Whatever problems that existed with "Superman Returns," I think very few of them can be laid on Brandon Routh's feet. He did a great job. Script problems were the main reason that "Returns" sputtered at time. The idea of connecting the movie to Superman I and II was a great idea but Lex Luthor's plot was too reminiscent of Superman I, also known as the weakest part of that movie.

I enjoyed Routh as Superman, so I'm glad they're briging him back. I am a little bummed we're going to have to wait for another movie. I'd rather have a little more time between Batman films, so we can see another Supes flick.

He was too emo, but you can blame that on Singer and the script.

I liked Routh as Superman and thought Singer's on the Superman was really good. I don't see the need for a reboot and Im hoping that they let Singer do Man of Steel, especially as he promised to go all "Wrath of Khan" on us.

Got to disagree Fure Parker in Spider-man 3 was too emo, Superman was just a bit emo-tional.

as long as they change the suit and Routh either gets a little bigger or the new suit has some padding (like Reeve's one) they yea keep him around, its better then getting a brand new guy every time they want to do something with Superman

He was one of the better parts of the movie. Kate Bosworth sucked. She needs to do Blue Crush 2.

Routh was a good choice, it was the script that sucked donkeyballs and the terrible choice of Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane (personally, I would have liked to see Elizabeth Banks in the role).

I don't know whose idea it was to portray Superman as a peeping-tom, deadbeat-dad, but they should be fired.

In the words of my nine year old daughter, Superman I & II (the Donner cut) were FUN, and Superman Returns was boooring.

You can't blame Brandon for Superman Returns' failings. He was paid to do a job and he done it. Following in the footsteps of Christopher Reeves can't have been easy for him cause the fanboys always speak their mind. You need to have a thick skin so that you can get on with the job.

Look what Daniel Craig went through when it was announced that he was the new James Bond. Look at all the negative press he recieved. He went on and proved fanboys wrong. He did an admirable job.

The new Superman movie needs a really exciting storyline. Something tremendous to get the fanboys salivating. It has to be said, the storyline for Superman Returns may have looked good on paper but the end result produced a boring film.

Lets look forward and not back.

Brandon Routh was the sole saving grace of SR. He got a lot of crap for doing a Chris Reeve impression, but that's not an easy task, folks. The fact that he damn near nailed it is proof that he is right for the role. I have to admit that a reboot with Routh as Superman is very exciting and a fair compromise to both factions of fans that loved/hated SR.

My problems with Superman Returns are: 1) Why have the son in the story? It just feels wierd that there is another superman JR and it makes superman not unique anymore. 2) The costume looks too clean, in fact the whole treatment to the film is too clean to the point that its not belivable. I hope they really re-boot the whole franchise. Superman needs it.
