Superman Returns
Superman returns to discover his 5-year absence has allowed Lex Luthor to walk free, and that those he was closest to felt abandoned and have moved on. Luthor plots his ultimate revenge that could see millions killed and change the face of the planet forever, as well as ridding himself of the Man of Steel. From TMDB

unlabelledView post →Superman Returns: I liked it a little more now than in 2006, but it's a weird movie. All the weirdness of being a 26-years-later-sort-of-sequel is really just what you latch onto because it's ultimately devoid of chemistry. Also it's too long by a lot.

unlabelledView post →Superman Returns is self-serious, frequently stupid, and makes the frankly bizarre choice to be a direct sequel to a 26 year old movie…but at least one feels like it is trying?
unlabelledView post →'Superman Returns' is fascinatingly ahead of its time in some ways, in that it is a deeply ill-advised sequel to a film that had come out twenty-six years before it, right from the 'opening credits are a conscious homage'.
unlabelledView post →I am watching Superman Returns, a contender for the weirdest superhero movie ever made. Sequel, remake, reboot? I don't know, you don't know, the film doesn't know.
unlabelledView post →Was Superman Returns good? No, not really Was it a better Superman film than anything Snyder made? Yes
unlabelledView post →Ahead of the release of the latest film, we essentially have two Superman trilogies. The first is the Christopher Reeve-Brandon Routh trilogy, including Superman, Superman II, and Superman Returns, appropriately ignoring the lesser Reeve sequels.

unlabelledView post →Guys, it doesn't matter if you like Superman 2025 the most or Man of Steel the most....because we can ALL agree Superman Returns is the ACTUAL worst Superman movie.
unlabelledView post →I’m sorry I keep rambling about Superman Returns I can’t stop thinking about how absolutely awful that movie really was and I need to think of something until I see the first good Superman movie since 1981
unlabelledView post →People always talk about Cavill being mistreated but what about poor Brandon Routh? He was a great Superman but his movie was a bleak, boring dud and he didn’t even get the chance or demand to come back. Superman Returns had a great trailer but god I hated that movie so much.
unlabelledView post →Superman Returns is such a weird movie, why is Parker Posey playing Lily from Annie
unlabelledView post →I think SUPERMAN RETURNS is the best DC movie since 1981 that wasn’t directed by Christopher Nolan. For its 20th anniversary today, I’ve aggregated my OVERHATED appearance and my old Film School Rejects column on it superfanxl.com/2026/06/28/s...
unlabelledView post →Just got done watching the 3rd X-Men movie and when we started I immediately had to point out that Cyclops gets killed early on entirely because James Marsden was busy with another film at the time (Superman Returns)
unlabelledView post →I haven't watched a Superman movie since Superman Returns 😅
unlabelledView post →Today is the 20th anniversary of SUPERMAN RETURNS! Since I have already said much about this film over the years, I’ve gathered it all in a post on my new site. This includes my recent appearance on @weinbergs.bsky.social’s OVERHATED, celebrating the film! superfanxl.com/2026/06/28/s...
unlabelledView post →It seems like every Superman movie is a reaction to a previous Superman movie. Singer's Superman Returns followed up on bits and pieces of the Donner Superman and tries to recreate it on multiple levels.
unlabelledView post →Lois would be investigating this shit if Clark never existed. You could do a whole movie about her, a whole series about her. A complete revelation after, well, SUPERMAN RETURNS. And to the extent that the film has a romantic plot, it's driven by *her* wants and interest.
unlabelledView post →I have never begged more for SOMETHING to happen in a movie than Superman Returns oh my fucking god
unlabelledView post →SUPERMAN RETURNS… the movie doesn’t ever reach the thrills of this moment. But Brandon Routh is still one of the best Supermen/Clark Kents. Glad the CW gave him one last go at the part. Kate Bosworth was a complete miscast tho’. But the pedo actor makes it harder to ever watch this film again.
unlabelledView post →There's a Comcast store near me that still has a window ad for Superman Returns in the window. It's still there because they moved out and no one else moved in since, but I like to think it's because someone really loved the movie.
unlabelledView post →I am reminded of the time Warners kept extending the dreary Superman Returns run in theaters just so it could hit a Box Office figure that wasn't too embarrassing. This is a much more entertaining film and I could see that strategy paying off, assuming they've any nerve at all.
unlabelledView post →Watching Superman Returns, which yeah okay so like I enjoy the movie but holy shit. Forgot that Routh was so very good as a Clark/Superman performer, that Parker Posey was in it, as well as a really great supporting cast. With several very unoverlookable issues, it's not a bad movie.
unlabelledView post →First movie I took my daughter to was a parent & baby showing of Superman Returns at a rep theatre in Waterloo. She was just a couple months old. I recognize that film isn't great but it will always be special to me.
unlabelledView post →Happy 49th birthday to this hilarious actor, Kal Penn! My favorite movies starring Kal are Superman Returns; Harold and Kumar Goes to WC; Smile; and Epic Movie. I can’t wait to see his next movie. #Moviesky #Filmsky #Horrorsky #April
unlabelledView post →My #LastFourWatched include: a remake of From Dusk 'Til Dawn, what really happened to Brandon Routh after Superman Returns wet-farted itself, a remake of Avatar, and Shark Week stupidity.* Three excellent films and a bad Discovery fearmongering: 🧛🧟🦫🦈 *Only two of these statements are true.
unlabelledView post →Oh man, this is easy: Superman Returns, Man of Steel (great film, but the trailer clears it), WW84 (the one with the Blue Monday cover on it) and Suicide Squad, just off the top of my head.
unlabelledView post →Since I'm seeing James Gunn's Superman tonight, it makes sense to binge watch the Superman films I haven't watched in years. Those being Reeve's first and second Superman movie, Superman Returns, and Man of Steel, the latter of which I'm not looking forward to revisiting
unlabelledView post →Despite having a busy schedule this week, I've decided to embark on a big Superman rewatch in preparation for seeing the new film on Friday. I'll be watching: Superman (1978) Superman 2: The Richard Donner Cut (1980/2006) Superman Returns (2006) Man of Steel (2013) Stay tuned!
unlabelledView post →My Superman Returns video will land tomorrow at 3pm and somehow WB has disowned this film so completely that it didn’t even get ContentIDed. My royalty-free music did, though. Obviously.
unlabelledView post →Superman Returns is a great film with great heart. Severely underappreciated.
unlabelledView post →Seeing a solo Superman movie at the cinema today for the first time since 2006, when @dreamworrier.bsky.social and I saw Superman Returns. Excited!
unlabelledView post →I just rewatched #Superman Returns and as flawed as that flick is one thing I absolutely adore about it how Mardsen and Rouths characters are so respectful of Lois and her feelings throughout the film. Also, Routh is is so woefully underappreciated. He *KILLED* it as Supes IMO.
unlabelledView post →It was not Brett Ratner’s fault that he was handed a film that was already in motion and it turned out pretty poorly. It’s his fault that he’s a piece of shit though, so fuck him. At least it was worth crippling this film for Superman Returns, with Kevin Spacey there to make sure it aged well.
unlabelledView post →Just saw the trailer for Superman Returns on TikTok & realised that this July it'll be 20 years (!) since it was released. I saw it 3 times at the pictures & wrote an an indignant letter to the Guardian after one of their columnists slagged it off. :D I still love that movie to this day.
unlabelledView post →I often found myself sitting with Rex at critic screenings because I loved hearing his steady stream of sotto voce commentary. My favorite, after we saw SUPERMAN RETURNS: "Well, it wasn't as good as *my* Superman." He was the star of it. I'll miss him. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
unlabelledView post →TRIVIA: Both Sam Witwer and Sam Huntington have history with the character of Jimmy Olsen: Huntington played him in the film 'Superman Returns' and Witwer killed him on an episode of the TV show 'Smallville'. (IMDB) 🖤
unlabelledView post →The live action Superman movies: 1. Superman and the Mole Men 2. Superman the Movie 3. Superman 2 4. Superman 3 5. Superman 4: The Quest for Peace 6. Superman Returns 7. Man of Steel 8. Superman Listing them out like that just looks funny to me.
unlabelledView post →Or Superman Returns being a “flop” at $200million of domestic box office, because two decades of nonsense was listed on its cost. To “succeed” it would have had to have been literally the biggest movie of all time at that point.
unlabelledView post →There are obviously other worse problems and people involved in the movie, but it is kind of incredible how many points Superman Returns would go up if Parker Posey and Kate Bosworth simply switched roles
unlabelledView post →It might be because I am coming to this film essentially fresh from Superman Returns, the last hour of which is so gratuitously nasty and also *incredibly boring*, but this is...a lot better than I remember it being at the level of 'human spectacle', I would say.
unlabelledView post →did some likeness practice on Brandon Routh Superman! Superman Returns was a theatrical experience i remember fondly really liked this movie growing up
unlabelledView post →You've clearly seen a different film to me. You sure you didn't see Superman Returns by mistake?
unlabelledView post →My updated Superman movie ranking Superman The Movie Superman 2025 Superman 2 Superman Returns Superman 4 Man Of Steel Superman 3
unlabelledView post →The trailer to SUPERMAN RETURNS is the third-best SUPERMAN movie. (I guess the actual SUPERMAN RETURNS is the fourth, but there's a big drop-off.)
unlabelledView post →We remember actress and model Noel Neill, born on this day in 1920. Neill played reporter Lois Lane in two Superman serials, and all but the 1st season of the Adventures of Superman TV series. She also appeared in roles in Superman: The Movie, the Superboy TV series, and Superman Returns.
unlabelledView post →Thought you were referencing Superman Returns here but then I remembered that movie came out in ‘06. Metaphor still works tho bc the director fled the US for Israel to escape pedophilia charges !
unlabelledView post →@oliverharper.bsky.social returns to the Oubliette this week to talk about the oft forgotten reboot - Superman Returns! Can this film fly its way out of our dungeon of obscurity? Find out at www.movieoubliette.com
unlabelledView post →And not only does it lovingly pay tribute to the Donner film, it bounces off that and goes even further comic-booky in a way that SUPERMAN RETURNS didn't attempt. It was so slavish that it didn't breathe on its own. Not this. Yeah, absolutely there 7/11.
unlabelledView post →god, I remember how *mad* the conservative film bloggers were when the SUPERMAN RETURNS trailer had Perry White saying "truth, justice and all that other stuff"
unlabelledView post →Why is your favourite movie Superman Returns?
unlabelledView post →My mom has had a rough 3 months between a tough recovery from surgery, and my Uncle unexpectedly passing last week. I asked her if she wanted to go see Spider-Man and she enthusiastically said yes so I just bought another set of tickets. The last film we watched together was Superman Returns.
unlabelledView post →Here’s the three hour documentary I made on the making of SUPERMAN RETURNS. Whether or not you like the film, there’s a great deal of insight here into how Superhero films are conceived and executed: youtu.be/MQGp-vxJjFY?...
unlabelledView post →This kind of beautiful design deserved to be in a film, it's a shame it was cut. But then it also deserves to be in something better than Superman Returns.
unlabelledView post →Rewatching Superman Returns Man …Brandon Routh deserved a better Superman movie
unlabelledView post →Bold statement…the score to the new Superman film is better than Superman Returns. And I love the score to Returns. But this one is, top to bottom, better. And it doesn’t edge us with the theme.
unlabelledView post →So we've done Superman (78) Man of Steel (13) and Supergirl (84) over the last few nights. The obvious next film in the series is.... Superman Returns (06) Brandon was a good Superman. The film...well it's been a while. Let's see.
