The Tv series (not smallvill) was the best! The movies you gotta mix em up, the charm of reeve, the story from man of steel and the action from this, i know there wasnt alot but the bits that were, were on point! the lex from.... ermm forget lex.
nothing about SR was good - terrible script and directing . I liked Routh he had great potential and could have been much better with a better director
Brandon Routh gave the best rendition of Clark among all movie and tv superman, He did better his is more natural than the latest Superman only that there was no clear direction for those people on the top. They got a big mistake to take a Director that already have a franchise, writing story not so bad it still can be improved, Brandon have great cast of supporting actors not to mention the Villain Kevin Spacey played as Luthor was way better than the actor now, the only actor there that sucks is kate bosworth her acting is 1 dimensional. I feel really bored on Henry Cavill's acting.
B Miller I actually loved 'Superman Returns'. I saw that movie in theaters when I was around 9 and was enamored with it ! In my opinion, a much better Superman movie than Man of Steel.
I totally respect that the final challenge of the film was an inanimate object. Every superhero movies ends in a big boss battle, it was cool of them to do something different. Being a hero isn’t only about defeating high power villains, it’s about saving the world.
It might be boring, but I still find Superman Returns to be a pretty beautiful movie. See it as a drama instead of an action movie, and it suddenly fits in place. The "superman being awesome" parts are really awesome, too.
the story after Superman Returns: after waking up from his coma, Superman started to lose his powers, then after a while, his powers were completely gone. so he left Metropolis and changed his name to Ray Palmer. he moved to Star City and built the Atom suit
fun fact: in the original comic series, one of clarks powers as a kryptonian was having a much higher functioning brain that basically gave him "super persuasion" - in short, he fooled everyone into not thinking he was Superman which is why he wore no mask...which they realized is way too o.p and it just became a huge meme of itself
Brandon Routh was the best thing in this movie. The fact he got the blessing of Reeves wife was just sweet. He looks like he was built from some bizarre comic book DNA. He's built for this. I wish they'd give him more to work with in Legends of Tomorrow.
Well, a few years later you got your wish, Brandon Routh played Superman again in one of the best parts of the *Crisis on Infinite Earths* Arrowverse crossover... Not a great crossover, the ones before were much better ( *Elseworlds* and *Crisis on Earth-X* in particular), but the great cameos and callbacks to earlier shows/movies were a treat...
This was actually my favorite superman movie, to me it was the most comic accurate superman. I didn’t like Clark Kent and Lois Lane’s interaction in the movie though.
This is honestly my favorite Superman movie. Tho I haven't seen Man of Steel yet. It's a more mature take on the story. And it just feels real. Sure, it slows down once in a while, but that'll only bother you if you're watching for the action. The slowing down parts are very important to a good story, and they give context to the fights and action
+Jasmine Mississo -- That actually has a nice ring to it. I wonder if the next full Superman reboot will be called "Man of Tomorrow". Probably not. Probably more like SUP3RM@N #KillsAllVillains.
Do still get Batman Begins Honest Trailer or do we have to wait for you to make the obligatory pre-reboot video for the upcoming Batfleck directed, Batfleck produced, and Batfleck starred Batfleck film?
I wouldn't say I love it but I certainly don't hate it. Routh was very well cast. It the Star Trek the Motion Picture of Superman movies...definitely has its some great moments but is quiet slow. Still better than the Snyder stuff for me.
The problem with this movie is that it waned to be throwback to Christopher Reeves' Superman movies and succeeded too well. It did a great job being something nobody really wanted.
+jliller Yeah, the film comes across as too much of a homage than it's own thing sometimes. The worst part is, the cast is pretty good, the visuals are really nice and the first hour is great. After the amazing plane sequence the film just starts going downhill. It's a shame because I can see the potential it has and we know Bryan Singer can deliver great superhero films
There is one sequence that I love in SR : when he's in space, listening to everyone's "prayers" and appears to be so sad about it. No text, no dialogues, just his facial expression says it all : depressed of all this sadness and nothing he can really do about it. It's cristal clear compared to all the BS Superman tries to explain in BvS.
***** Are you kidding me? BvS looks like a convoluted mess put together by a 3 year old...At least Superman Returns made sense as a movie. I only liked the first 10 min of BvS, then it gets F*cking boring and you start asking yself when something is going to happen...then finally the kidnapping and the battle begins, what should be the best moment was total crap. And the movie gets worse and worse until the end, especially the end. I could rant about BvS for like 3 hours, but I will only say if you liked it good for you, I guess...
Thomas 94 BvS had some really good parts to it. Affleck did Batman really well, and most of the Batman stuff was fairly entertaining. Eisenberg was simply amazing, his backstory, the motivations of the character, the acting, just great. Superman was probably the weakest part of the film, and that ending was horrible. At least it didn't make me literally go to sleep mid movie like Superman Returns did.
Eisenberg was an amalgamation of the business man Luthor and the mad scientist Luthor. The latter one has not been used that much in the other media, so it should be understandable why it was hard to recognize that aspect of him.
I loved this film. The part where Martha Kent is outside the hospital and doesn't go in, I thought showed how tough she is. Gotta be a tough momma to raise Superman.
I love at the end of the first Arrow, Flash, Supergirl, and Legends of Tomorrow, brandon routh says that kara looks like his cousin. good joke to this movie
+TheComicCrafter -- You're not the only one! I left the theatre mostly satisfied, thinking "There can be good Superman movies again! They have a great cast! They just need to _do better_ next time." Any criticisms I have, I also have of the Zack Snyder films. (For example: *Water is boring.* There is no exciting way to save someone from drowning. I like to BE in the ocean, not LOOK at it!) _Returns_ had to do a lot of "setup" chores, but the sequel could have brought in a superpowered foe to match Superman's power, and let loose with some heavy action for high stakes. Kevin Spacey was about perfect. For all the criticisms about "real-estate schemes", what's better than owning and ruling your own continent? More importantly, it was true Luthor genius that he worked out the secret of Kryptonian crystals, and adapted it to work with green Kryptonite. That's STILL brilliant! The two Snyder movies have only rehashed popular old stories. (Henry Cavill does his best with the scripts he's given. I just hate the end products, which is Zack Snyder's fault.) I'd like to see a mixed cast from both _Returns_ and _Man of Steel._ Brandon Routh as Superman, but Amy Adams as Lois. DEFINITELY Spacey as Luthor, but Russell Crowe as Jor-El (if he appears), likewise Michael Shannon as Zod (if he appears), and I could go either way on Perry White. Frank Langella was good, but Laurence Fishburne was no slouch, either. Dammit, the Snyder films had a great _cast,_ but the films sucked _anyway!_ But even though Henry Cavill has his moments, I'd much rather go with Brandon Routh. Singer would direct again, of course, but he'd have to agree to more action. A cameo from Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne would be pretty sweet, too.
TheComicCrafter the reason why superman returns failed for fans not critics is because of these reasons: doing the same lex luthor plan in 1978 just reversed, 95% of the dialogue is the same dialogue, superman getting beat up by three nameless dudes, and superman battling an island of kryptonite there are so many other ideas lex luthor can think but the best you can do is make is real estate again? Now don't get me wrong brandon was great as supes and kevin spacey as well and it's a technically well made movie in terms of editing, cinematography and soundtrack but the story is literally the same from 1977 and they said this movie takes place after superman 2 now if they straight up said it was a reboot nobody would complain but they sold it as a sequel when it really wasn't other than having the kid (it just wasn't enough)
This was the first superman movie that i saw as a kid and i liked the superman character he is not only my favorite DC superhero but superhero. In comix in general and ibsaw the first superman movie (1970s) and i thlight i was good but boring
If they had given it a sequel I think he'd have been more well received, I mean look how many people begged for Batman v Superman to happen with Bale and Routh..
+joey4track still more engaging than that shitfest of boredom call MoS. and the cast was much better, it really felt like a sequel to the original movies, flawed as it was. and Spacey was hands down the best live action Luthor ever
It's obvious this film isn't great it kind of felt it didn't lead up to anything that spectacular but apart from that I love it. I thought it was a good blend of Christopher reeves superman whilst also creating its own style. Kevin spacey was great as lex Luther the cinematography was beautiful and there was also the whole lois, sups and the other guy conflict and all in all I just really really enjoy this film
"The Death of Superman Lives" is a documentary entirely about how the Nic Cage/Tim Burton version got created and then suddenly scrapped. Worth a watch!
one reason and one reason only: It's the same movie as Superman 1977 same dialogue, same shots just with 2006 effects if you are gonna say that this is a sequel to the the donner superman then make a sequel not a movie with the same dialogue and plot. The only thing different was the kid but it wasn't enough different also superman getting beat up by 3 nameless dudes like it was a high school movie really didnt help (it's a well made movie but they literally rehashed superman 1977 only with better effects)
I agree. I think they were trying to finish the storyline of Christopher Reeve's Superman, and pretend Superman 3 and 4 never happened. Why, because Reeve had died after a heroic struggle, and he was a nice man. I think this story did a nice job at that task.
+Velociraptor256 Though technically he didn't lose his girl to Wolverine. She was just heavily tempted and impersonated in a timeline that was wiped out anyway.
this is the last Superhero film i actually loved. it just amazes me that people find this film boring? this movie was so good and this Superman had humanity.
Superman has been gone for 5 years, Clark Kent has been gone for 5 years. Superman Returns and Clark Kent returns and a newsroom full of reporters that he works with can't connect the dots.
"Left for 5 years to check on some rocks" lmfao :))))) That is a perfect excuse i can use with my girlfriend when i get home late after a few beers with the guys
Now, I thought it was pretty boring.. But now that Man of steel and BvS happened, I realise it's a lot better than what we have now. It should have only been a bit more fun and upbeat and it would have been great!
I loved it because it felt like watching Superman all over again, same sort of feeling Star Wars 7 gives me. It may be a rut, but I'll be damned if it's not comfortable and plush in that rut.
My last display name was too long exactly. It was full of references to the comics, and past movies. Superman was saving people left and right, it was bright, no dead people. It was truly a SUPERMAN film.
“It takes everything you love, in this ‘Ho-bu-quil’ “ had to have been one of the best comments I’ve heard from this channel. Top quality content. 0:35
You can't lie, the scene when superman takes a bullet to the face is one of if not the most badass superman moments ever
It was but I will admit they stole if from The Matrix
@@Nick64266 what you mean the scene when Neo stops the bullets? If you say so.
Straight to the eyeball. That was dope. But if the Gatling gun didn't work, one single handgun bullet was never gonna work out for that poor guy lol

Yeah, but using it in the trailer meant everyone saw it coming so it didn't really get to stand out in the film.
"Did that wig grow up to become Jessie Eisenber?!"
It makes so much sense now!!!!
We will solve quantum whatever before we solve how/why that character was the way he was!

So sad... Brandon Routh did a great job as Clark/Superman. But the script wasn't up to the actor.

Routh was an OK Superman, in a terrible Superman movie. I like him much better as the Atom in the CW-verse, though.
He was shit, that's why he doesn't get any roles.

Kevin spacey was great as lex Luther the cinematography was beautiful and there was also the whole lois, sups and the other guy conflict and all in all I just really really enjoy this film
00:32 Is that Nicolas Cage?!?! What the f*ck??? There was a chance that Nicolas cage could have been superman at some point??? O.o
It is.
"The Death of Superman Lives" is a documentary entirely about how the Nic Cage/Tim Burton version got created and then suddenly scrapped. Worth a watch!
Nic Cage should not be allowed to be the lead in a film again until he gets his crap together.. he hasn't been good since the 90's
EnigmaDrath oh my god you're right
Steroids, baby
2:27 YESSSS!!!!!!!
I think he is a better Superman than Cavil
+HAguayo yup
No he looked too fake trying to copy Christopher Reeves
Nope but he is a better Atom lol
+Justice Suks Yeah it was the script and the writing. I like Cavill as Superman.
just give henry a good script....and merge the fuckin dc's tv universe with the cinematic one...everything would be alright then
that bullet scene was freaking awesome 😎😍✌
1:57 How many "F's" are there in catastrophic???? _Really?_
Why is Ray Palmer doing in this movie?
Toku Super Hero Games and More with Sentai22 crisis
Say: "JON ANSWER THE DOOR!" "SHUT UP MOM I'M DOING AN HONEST TRAILER!"
I liked this movie. I still don't see why people don't like it.
Johnny Skinwalker I really can't because people like bVs more and that film is beyond boring.
Johnny Skinwalker You make no sense I feel sorry that people as stupid as you are still on the internet.
+Joseph Higgins animationgamer3466o so nice of you to describe yourself
don't know what to say , you have bad taste in movies . it's ok though , don't feel excluded, many are like you nowadays
one reason and one reason only: It's the same movie as Superman 1977 same dialogue, same shots just with 2006 effects if you are gonna say that this is a sequel to the the donner superman then make a sequel not a movie with the same dialogue and plot. The only thing different was the kid but it wasn't enough different also superman getting beat up by 3 nameless dudes like it was a high school movie really didnt help (it's a well made movie but they literally rehashed superman 1977 only with better effects)
I liked this movie when I was younger. Still one of my favorites.
Glad he returned to be Kingdom Come Superman 😁👏
Do Harold and Kumar! :D
Yessss
Which?
+Robert Reich that doesn't matter
+Quicksilver All of them.
Brandon Routh is an amazing actor, both as superman and the atom!
At least this movie had a decent Lex
BvS has a great Lex.
+Abel Juarez nope.
+J.D. Cantu Actually yes. It's been scientifically proven.
+Danny Malzahn he is Lex' son
I prefer jesse lex than the one in this film, at least jesse really portraits the hatred of lex towards superman
Superman returns was underatted just saying
+1
I agree. I think they were trying to finish the storyline of Christopher Reeve's Superman, and pretend Superman 3 and 4 never happened. Why, because Reeve had died after a heroic struggle, and he was a nice man. I think this story did a nice job at that task.
S Tho yeah
This is the best joke I've seen ever.
In retrospect if the idea was to reboot a franchise copying the original they should have gotten j j abrams as the director instead.
2:18 Don't forget Patrick Dempsey in Enchanted!
+Velociraptor256 Though technically he didn't lose his girl to Wolverine. She was just heavily tempted and impersonated in a timeline that was wiped out anyway.
I was waiting for there to be a "James Marsden lost Lois Lane twice" joke since he also lost Amy Adams in Enchanted.
Still better than Batman V Superman
Nope. Both were shit but this was worse.
Still better than half of the marvel movies.
Oh yes, certainly. It should have just been a bit more upbeat and fun and it would have been pretty great I'd say, or well, good at least.
Better than force awakens too
impossible.
this is the last Superhero film i actually loved. it just amazes me that people find this film boring? this movie was so good and this Superman had humanity.
Please say: Goodnight sweet Prince.
"Man of feels" LOOOOL
Superman got his butt kicked by Kumar in this movie worse than Ben Affleck whooped em
Shots fired!
damn son
+The Egg not that kinda party...I was just showing how inferior this Superman was to Snyder's version...a mortal beat em up
Τhe airplane sequence is the BEST Superman action sequence .
You can debate with me on this .
Am I the only one who wished for the Batman Begins instead?
Superman has been gone for 5 years, Clark Kent has been gone for 5 years.
Superman Returns and Clark Kent returns and a newsroom full of reporters that he works with can't connect the dots.
+visoredgruntR34 That's why i like MoS Lois Lane. She's not an idiot.
I can't believe they didn't make a joke about Brandon Routh getting demoted from Superman to The Atom.
+Dean Vance LOL and apparently Metropolis is in New Jersey.
"Left for 5 years to check on some rocks" lmfao :))))) That is a perfect excuse i can use with my girlfriend when i get home late after a few beers with the guys
Do the original Mad Max!
YASSSSSS!!
+Nora Jacobsen yeees
yes
+Ja89Br Or Mad Max 2.
+Ja89Br yasss

Even i liked this movie.
Thank you. There is another one
Griffin Puatu lhkh9Q
qQ.1l.w
no I thought it was decent
I really liked it, and it's my second favorite Superman movie.
0:30 NIC CAGE would have been perfect as BIZARRO directed by TIM BURTON
PLEASE DO MEAN GIRLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this movie. Highly underrated.
"You are not the father!" LOL.
Brandon Routh is the most underrated Superman.
Please say 'Can you feel it Mr. Krabs?'
"Closing in on you? oh I can."
I am the only person on earth who loved this movie.
It was okay.
I loved it
No, you're not.
I love this movie, I was a little kid when I watched it and now it brings me too many memories :'(
I guess you are
the action scenes are okay. the story just sucks... but the bullettime into supermans eye - AWESOME AF
Am I the only one that loved Superman Returns and thinks that Brandon Routh was and will be the best Superman after Reeve?
Now, I thought it was pretty boring.. But now that Man of steel and BvS happened, I realise it's a lot better than what we have now. It should have only been a bit more fun and upbeat and it would have been great!
I loved it because it felt like watching Superman all over again, same sort of feeling Star Wars 7 gives me. It may be a rut, but I'll be damned if it's not comfortable and plush in that rut.
My last display name was too long exactly. It was full of references to the comics, and past movies. Superman was saving people left and right, it was bright, no dead people. It was truly a SUPERMAN film.
“It takes everything you love, in this ‘Ho-bu-quil’ “ had to have been one of the best comments I’ve heard from this channel. Top quality content.
0:35
I actually really like this movie. The sequel Superman and Superman II deserved
Can you please still do Batman Begins? The rest of the trilogy is here already. Make it... Complete.
The bullet to the eye scense is aways super neat tho
3:57
Isn’t that Seth from Designated Survivor??
Now I really wanna see a HOUSE OF CARDS honest trailer.
