    Reviews have been mixed from what I've seen, CNN didn't care for it, NBC seem to like it...
    I'm not bashing the movie at all - I think it came across very well. Given the recent X-Men, Spiderman, and even Batman movies, I was hoping it'd be comparable - I just didn't feel it was quite at that level. Still good though! Just not as good as I hoped for. Considering it's Superman, who would probably get voted the greatest superhero ever, you have high expectations. I think a real super bad guy that poses a threat to Superman might have helped - an arch-nemesis with bad ass super powers or something.

    It was MUCH better than Superman IV...if you're a Superman fan at all, you'll want to see it in theaters, if you're just a casual fan, you might want to wait for it to hit DVD.

    Above average, but not a blockbuster.

    Pirates II is gonna kick Superman's @ss

    No kidding - I've seen the first one at least a dozen times and I still don't get tired of watching it - it's one of those timeless, family thrill ride movies - like Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Goonies...

    Everyone talks about Johnny Depps perfomance, but I really liked Geoffrey Rush as Barbarossa. He pretty much stole every scene he was in. Kiera Knightly had the "princess Leia" thing going too. You can bet she saw that movie a few times!
