Anyone else see this? I thought it was OK in that comic-book-movie way. Kevin Spacey made a good Lex Luthor. Kate Bosworth was totally unremarkable as Lois. I kept wishing for Teri Hatcher circa '93.


I have to admit I spent the entire movie wondering how they possibly can't know that Superman=Clark Kent. I mean, he can leap tall buildings and stop bullets, but he can't manage a better disguise than THAT?

I was dying to see this in the IMAX this weekend, but it was completely sold out! I'm going to try again for next weekend.

We're going to see it. I've been kind of leery since I am a fan of the original superman and also a big smallville fan. I'm giving it a shot though because I like Kevin Spacey

I thought it was alright. I love Parker Posey so that's really the only reason I wanted to see the movie. Kate Bosworth was pretty unremarkable and seemed to young to play Lois... espcially Lois as a mom.

I thought it was enjoyable, but compared to other comic book movies, I don't think it was as good as the Spider Man movies or my personal favorite, Batman Begins. 


I think Kate Bosworth was miscast. I agree with what others have said about her not being that great as Lois Lane.  Plus, they really needed someone a bit older since in this movie she's a mom and a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist.  Brendan Routh, while very nice to look at, was a bit awkward as Superman. He played Clark Kent pretty well, but he lacked the presence and charisma that are necessary to play Superman.

I just saw Superman this weekend and I was really surprised by how much I liked it. I had really low expectations but I thought it was surprisingly good.


My favorite theme was how lonely it must be to be Superman. I'm sure I put too much thought into it but I got verklempt when I was watching the movie.


As for Kate Bosworth, I've never been a fan and her portrayal of Lois Lane did nothing to improve my opinion of her. She was too skinny, appeared to be balding, and I just didn't buy her character.


Parker Posey was awesome! I always love her in everything I see her in and this was no exception. She displayed 10 times the emotion as Kate Bosworth. Kevin Spacey was pretty great too.


Definitely a recommend if you like this kind of flick.
