on IMAX anything is good...but superman as a film sucks to high heaven...but then again they are trying to "re-introduce" the concept to the younger generations...so if you havent even seen any superman...its worth a watch...but if you have...go watch Nacho Libra instead...also the real 3D scene last for all of 20 mins...so the IMAX experiance isnt really a fully 3D one...

i hated it, my friends and i left before the movie even finished.


sorry to anyone that liked it.

I loved it, but then I am a comic book super hero freak!

A disappointing movie!

It depends if you bought into the yhpe or not - I didn't!

Yes it's long, yes it gets bogged down in the emotional side of things, but you have to remember they're trying to reintroduce Superman to a new generation, who might not have read the comics, watched the cartoons, the earlier tv shows, and have just watched 'Smallville'!

Don't forget it's been 20 years since the last Superman movie, one of the last lines in the last film was 'See you in 20!' - Spooky.

I think Brandon did a great job and his likeness to Christopher Reeve is a big help as well.

I think for the next movie, now all the establishing has been done, it'll be more kick ass. IMHO.

When I was a little kid, I was mad about Superman. Then in my pre-teens came Batman, and then much later Spiderman... but there is only one dude who flies and can move the moon! I don't know if this movie is any good, but I'm gonna go watch it just for old times sake. By the way, I think the best superhero movie of all time is Spiderman II. I could so relate to Peter Parker... its unreal.

I was frustrated why didnt Superman die..........I ws yellinginthe theatre DIE superman DIE!!!!! and he comes back to life worse eh gets superboy! the 3d effects very cool though I saw in IMAX 3d!!!!

From all what I heard from freinds I didn't watch it.. I think it's not worth it !

I don't listen to other peoples opinions on movies and music, I like to make up my own mind.

Exactly my opinion... Best example for this lately was "The Descent". Had never heard about this movie and it got TERRIBLE reviews in Lebanon but for some reason my friends and I had a feeling it would be good. Turned out this movie is simply put one of THE best horror movies I've seen in my life and it actually got some great reviews in Europe and the US. So yeah, I never listen to anyone's opinion about movies...

Anyway back on topic, I didn't like Superman much... I guess i was just expecting much more than this. I mean let's try to compare Superman to a movie like Batman Begins... Now THAT was a movie. I've never really been a fan of superhero movies but I've always had somethign for the Batman series (the first movies ONLY of course... with Michael Keaton) So it was really a great surprise when I realized that Batman Begins was as good if not slightly better than the first movies.

Well let's hope that the next Superman movies will be better...

superman was such a big let down. it was too long, short on plot and had very little action to it. perhaps it just suffered from over hype. anyway, Bryan Singer is making a sequel to it. lets hope he can improve on his first effort.
