Excellent movie overall, specially for the Superman fans!!
Very nice movie with great graphics and followed very well from the old 2 movies. Brandon Routler looks exactly like the original Superman, and plays the exchange between Superman and Clark Kent quite well. Quite a bit of action and violence, including a plane full of people crashing to earth, but being saved by Superman. A little bit of swearing, but not much sexual issues as Superman was told in the 2nd movie that he cannot be with Lois. Kissing between Lois and her fiancee, but not passionate, mostly brief. It shows positive messages and role model as Superman is always saving the day. Superman persuades Lois not to smoke as its bad for her health.

Superman comes back with a brand new look.
A magnificent comeback for the man of steel. A true classic that is better than most of its predeccessors. (Superman III, Superman IV and Supergirl).

Pretty good movie... except that it was hard to get into without knowing what had happened in the past, and it seemed to end abruptly. A couple of scenes were a little scary, nothing too bad though.

Mediocre Superhero Film That Is Okay for kids 8 and over
This superhero movie was not as good as I expected it too be much better. The contant is acceptable for children 8 and under and should have been rated PG. Not much too worry about, except for a few sequences of violence, and a few minor curse words that wasn't much. Stick with "X-Men: The Last Stand" if you are searching for a superhero film to see, but if you see this it is ok for kids 8 and up.

Superman Returns is age-appropriate, but it's not quite super
Superman is arguably the most popular superhero out there. He saves the day over and over and over again. He is almost impenatrable (despite the fact that he can get killed by kryptonite, more on that later) and a great role model. Unfourtunatley, he isn't given much vibe here, becuase Superman Returns is one boring actionier. Although it is age-appropriate (see exceptions below) it will not appeal to the die-hards at all. In fact, many times it is melodramatic and not fun at all. So this is best left to the open-minded. Content issues are few, but there is a talk about "pleasurable sex with the big hero" and a violent scene that is worth covering the kid's eyes. [spoiler warning] In it, Superman is beaten, battered and stabbed ruthlessly with kryptonite by Lex Luthor, falling to a watery fate (he gets out).

Awesome movie...
Well, where to begin?!?! I love this move and it kept me on the edge of my seat. I even yelled at the screen a few times. It had action, romance, and a bit of mystery. I thought it was great enough to see it again and I might see one more time. If you want a movie that has it all, see this one!

Quite entertaining, but you'll have to know the charecters beforehand to enjoy it.
Who dosen't love Superman? Like the movie's potrayel of him, he's a good role model and shows us all that good will always win the battle against evil. People might not be able to grasp everything that goes on if they don't already know Superman's backround history, but it's still humorous, entertaining, and light hearted. Violence isn't to much of a problem in Superman Returns. There's a few language issues but nothing major. Clark Kent and Jimmy Olsen drink at a bar, and Lois Lane smokes but there isn't a serious problem there either. Parent's might want to talk to thier kids about how a couple have a child before they get married but the films very much acceptable to any audience

Rediculous Moral Priority
This film teaches children a narrow view of morality, justice, suffering, and mankinds capacity for change. Although Superman possesses omniscence (he is aware of trouble in the middle east--a scene has him watching a crying middle-eastern woman) he decides to protect banks. The film borrows Christian mythology "I hear them crying for a savoir" but presents a lazer eyed savior who solves first-world problems with second rate means. Superman shows might, no skill in reasoning or compassion. Not an appropriate hero for learning children.
