Just returned from seeing it - a fabulous flick! It was over two and a half hours, which is a great value, compared to the length of other films nowadays. Brandon Routh was terrific as the lead - I read that his eyes are naturally brown, but he wore blue contacts for this role. Lois Lane's little kid is a cutey as well. Sourire

I'm going tomorrow. Reviews are pretty positive so far. 2.5 hours may be a bit much...Singer isn't big on action, which means his movies tend to drag sometimes.

I went and saw it last night. It was good, but not great. It dragged in spots, there was no reason for it to be that long. Wasn't as good as Batman Begins or the first 2 X-Men. 7/10.

I'll see it... I'm beginning to develop a superhero movie fetish. No, not a fetish like that! huh

The only superhero film I really enjoyed was the first Spiderman, but that's considered more comic-book fantasy right? Like X-Men, which I also like.

X-Men is the best superhero movie ever.

But I just said, they can't really be classed as Superhero movies can they? 'Cos it's more a tale of being an outcast and fighting for the right to be accepted for what they are.

Geez, call it a superhero movie. I don't give a crap about story.

Intresting atricle here, looks as if despite it's strong opening Superman may lose money....

If Superman Returns hadn't cost about $204 million to make and an additional $40 million to develop over the past 19 years, the $84.2 million that the movie earned since it opened late Tuesday night would be cause for celebration at Warner Bros., the studio that produced it. However, analysts pointed out that the estimated $52.2 million that it earned over the three-day weekend trailed last year's War of the Worlds' $64.9 million over the comparable weekend and Spider-Man 2's $88.2 million in 2004. Moreover, it is expected to be sunk next week by Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and continue to plunge after that. Meanwhile, rival studios are reportedly upset over Warner Bros. decision to include 10:00 p.m. screenings on Tuesday in its total for Wednesday, thereby giving the appearance that the film performed far better at the box office for its Wednesday premiere than it actually did. L.A. Weekly columnist Nikki Finke quoted one rival studio exec as saying, "It's not unfair to note that Fox's X-Men 3 had $130 mil[lion] after five days and is ending up making $235 mil or so. If the same ratio holds and Superman Returns does 1/3 less, than it would not make $200 mil and that would be a disappointment." In fact, the actual bragging rights for the weekend belong to 20th Century Fox, whose The Devil Wears Prada opened with an estimated $27 million. "This was way beyond anybody's expectations," Fox distribution chief Bruce Snyder told today's (Monday) Los Angeles Times. The film helped push the overall box office some 5 percent above last year's for the same weekend. Today's New York Times quoted Bruce Friend, managing director of the research firm OTX Entertainment, as saying, "The good news is the bleeding has stopped from last year. ... But it hasn't rebounded to the levels of two years ago."

I saw it last night at the nearest drive-in (which showed Pirates after which i saw for the 3rd time). It was good, but it could have been better at some spots.

Its profits totally got killed by Pirates 2 being released not even two weeks later. Triste

Disney just must have an insane marketing department. Tire la langue
