(51 - 71) of 71 OFCS Rating: 76% Fresh Prev < Page   12   2.5/5 "Emphasizes the reasons I don't find Superman all that interesting."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 3/4 "The movie is probably about as good a Superman epic as you can get without taking some crazy, universe-shaking chances. This one's a safe-but-solid start; maybe the next one will take it to a new level."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B+ "Director Bryan Singer nimbly navigates the tricky balance between the old-school purists and 21st century sensibility, with existential questions: does the world need Superman? Does he need us? "   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow B "Flled with so many grandly iconic images that it's rather easy to dismiss the film's not-inconsiderable shortcomings."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager 2/5 "Filme auto-indulgente e sem ritmo que transforma o Homem de Aço em um galã sem personalidade."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 2.5/5 "...Singer and company are so concerned about doing justice to Superman's past, they fail to generate much interest in what, if any, future the franchise might have."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 4/5 "It may never generate an epic scale, but that's only because it stays so relentlessly intimate."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 4/5 "Solid and emotionally direct but not the concussive powerhouse many will be hoping for."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves B+ "Emulating [Richard] Donner may not be the most innovative path, but it's certainly the smartest... and the Man of Steel is all the better for it."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux B "A lovingly crafted homage to the greatest superhero of all time, and a tribute to the real life hero who best embodied the character of Superman, Christopher Reeve."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B+ "...this new Superman is going to be huge and will spawn its own set of sequels."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford "A tender film that steps outside of its expected genre."   Movie Views   Ryan Cracknell 3.5/5 "A case of "good, sometimes very good, but definitely not great," which is kind of a small-yet-nagging disappointment, considering the talent and passion that went into the thing."   Cinematical   Scott Weinberg 3.5/5 "Gaining momentum seems easy for Superman Returns. Sustaining it is another story."   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell 3/4 "better than 3 and 4"   sbs.is   Stefan Birgir Stefansson "Superman Returns feels eager to please, and it frequently succeeds, but despite its best intentions, it seldom soars to the height of 1978's Superman: The Movie"   ESplatter   Steve Biodrowski A- "Honors and builds upon the strengths of its predecessors while gracefully minimizing their weaknesses."   Decent Films Guide   Steven D. Greydanus 10/10 "It's terrific, appealing to the child in all of us. Superman soars!"   Modamag.com   Susan Granger 4/4 "The saddest, most desperately lonesome and melancholy mainstream film in recent memory."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 3/4 "A good start at revitalizing a dead series. Get rid of Kevin Spacey for the sequel and you might have something spectacular."   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell 3.5/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito  (51 - 71) of 71 OFCS Rating: 76% Fresh Prev < Page   12
