Go out and see this movie it is Phenomenal, it is very reminiscent of the old Christopher Reeve movies.
This film will make you laugh and cry, it is a very enjoyable experience.
Bryan Singer did a really excellent job with this film, it was both a fitting tribute to both Christopher Reeve and Marlon Brando.
This film was dedicated to the Memory of Christopher and Dana Reeve. It was not dedicated to Marlon Brando, however using the old footage was a small dedication in itself.
This film plays off as a sequel to Superman: The Movie and Superman II, however it doesn't clearly ignore the other two sequels. Bryan Singer was absolutely correct with his comment "If Smallville is superman for you this movie will work, if the Christopher Reeve movies are Superman for you this movie will still work". I tend to think this movie leans more towards the Christopher Reeve movies than Smallville, however there were small moments that did make you think of Smallville a little bit.
Kevin Spacey gives a very good performance as Lex Luthor, he was definitely more evil than Gene Hackman, however at times Spacey proved like Routh to be reminiscent of his Predecessor.
Overall see this movie you will not be disappointed, go out and rent or buy the DVD!
I had to update this commentary by saying that there are far too many arrogant people on IMDb giving this movie negative reviews that are entirely uncalled for. The Message boards for this film are purely a disgrace and I would not waste my time responding to the smut that has been placed there.
The negative comments I have been reading about this film are all biased and are apparently being placed by people who are quite narrow-minded and can't seem to see or understand the big picture of it all. Watch Superman II: The Donner Cut, you'll understand what Singer was trying to do with this film a little better.
