Fun Stuff

Trivia:
A break-in on the set of Superman Returns, in which the crew's walkie talkies were stolen, forced filming to be halted. Pranksters caused chaos during a stunt sequence, being filmed in Martin Place, by shouting "cut" and "action" over the airwaves. The thieves with the walkie talkies listened in to much of the night's filming to learn key phrases which they later yelled at key moments. The mischief almost caused serious injury, with the night's filming centering on a Mustang car jumping down steps and landing between extras. It stopped a number of times. more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: When Luthor yells, "Wrong!" at Lois with Jason sitting in her lap, you can see where "Jason" squints his eyes and prepares himself for the yell just a fraction of a second BEFORE the yell is delivered. more

You'll believe a movie really can flop., 17 June 2007
4/10
Author: Sollus

I've read pages and pages of comments left by others. There's really little but I felt this movie was such an insult that I had to say something. The place to start is Brandon Routh, he may look the part, but he is so dull and makes Superman lifeless. Kate Bosworth comes across as a bitter ex-wife. Lois has good reason, but it doesn't make for good entertainment. Kevin Spacey DOES seem to be doing an imitation Gene Hackman playing the Luthor role. Note: not a Hackman imitation, but an imitation of him playing a role. Sad and decidedly unoriginal.

The Direction was weak, the FX were good enough, but it still looks like CGI, the original Superman movie actually gave an impression of a man flying. In other words they did a better job with less sophisticated FX.

This film is NOT a "near classic" or even a valiant attempt at one. It's a sign of the lack of creativity in the movie industry and greed motivated remakes.
