He is just too much. Too many powers, too strong, too predictable. I mean, in the preview of the movies you see him just walking straight at a minigun while it is firing and stopping a bullet with his eyeball. That just leaves no suspense for me. Unless you have a special rock, you can't stop him. And good luck discovering his secret identity as he has these amazing glasses that somehow blind everyone to who he is. Yeah, hate him...

That's the usual trend. So they will make money off the film but not what they wanted. I'm a big spider-man fan but I loved the first 2 superman films, especially in 2 with the fight scene in times square. Good stuff. Superman is always going to be known and loved but he's too perfect. There does not seem to be a villain out there that really has a good shot at knocking him off. This makes it hard to generate suspense at times. I still plan on seeing Superman none the less. Singer is a great director. Unfortunately the box office numbers fall by 50% each week the films in the movie theater. That’s the usual trend.

I will say that <i>Superman Returns</i> is one that I will probably wait to see on DVD.

Christopher Reeve will always be Superman for me, so that's a tough one to follow. We went to see Pirates today and the theatre was packed - this was the third showing at 11:45am. Pirates was given three theatres at our AMC 20, and Superman, only one - that doesn't bode well at all for the super hero. I will go see Superman, just to give it a fair break.

This weekend, my daughter tried to see Pirates and it was sold out. She saw Superman again though and she liked it.<br/><br/>I'll wait for it to come to Netflix. Movies are $10 here so I try to only see those that have 5 star reviews. <br/><br/>Have a good weekend! I’ve heard such bad review of Pirates that I’ve lost interest in seeing it.

Definately had some good plot twists.

However, you can't keep Johnny Depp down, and I am sure Pirates 2 will blow away Superman this weekend ..
