    MAN OF STEEL IS BACK!!!

    by ZDZ824

    This movie was AMAZING!!!! As a HUGE fan of the Donner/Reeve installment, this movie brought a big grin to my face throughout that I just could not wipe off my face. This movie was definately made for the fans!!!

    Watching this film in the 3-D IMAX Experience was well worth the full priced tickets!

    by Filmz

    This film was heavily anticipated and they got a great director for it as well. Can't believe Brian Singer passed on X3: the Final Stand to make this film, but I'm glad he did. He and the Production & VFX team took care of the Superman story, modernized it just enough to make it enjoyable for all ages. Watching the film again on DVD does no justice compare to the 3-D IMAX Experience.

    'Superman Returns' is the best of all Superman films 3 1/2 out of 4 stars

    by shawn917

    'Superman Returns' is action packed with a great emotional story. The movie has some of the most awesome special effects in all movies. In 'Superman Returns' it has been years since Superman left Earth and now he has returned. He most stop one of Lex Luthor from trying to force world domination. In my opinion 'Superman Returns' is the best of all 5 Superman films.
