Pros: As usual, Parker Posey steals the show; great FX!
Cons: Underutilized supporting cast.
Summary: I have no background in the "Superman" franchise. I have never seen any of the older superman movies. I haven't read the comic books or bought the figurines, and I haven't played the video games. Like every good ol' American, I know the mythology ... read more

Cons: Continuity, too much creative liberty.
Summary: Let's see if I have this right. Christopher Reeves plays Superman in 1978 and 1981, in Superman and Superman 2. 25 years later Brandon Routh plays Superman, in Supermann Returns, 5 years after Superman 2, even though 2 years later, Christopher Reeves ... read more

Pros: Better special effects, a great plot, reminds you of the old Superman movies.
Cons: The movie can feel boring at some points if you don't know whats happening.
Summary: Superman Returns is one of the better of the Superman Series. I would say the third best next to Superman I and Superman III. I highly reccomend anyone to atleast rent it, it's a great movie and the actor they got to play Clark looks almost identical to
