    I am a fan, but although I enjoyed the first Superman and Superman 2, I thought they were a bit lightweight, and I'm expecting the same from Superman Returns.

The reason I like movies like Superman, Spiderman and X-Men is that they take elements from the comics and give it a realistic toneand feel. I don't like if it was a straight comic book movie because what you end up with is a movie like Batman and Robin which is truly pathetic.
        Well not all comic books are fake in feel and tone but yeah i'm very much looking forward to this film.

          From SupermanHomepage.com regarding the PG-13 rating:

          “Superman Returns” - Should I Take My Kid?

          A Family Friendly Mini-Review (Spoiler Free)

          By Barry Freiman

          "Superman Returns" is sure to have a strong nostalgic component to it - parents who were kids in 1978 will want to bring their own kids now in a natural attempt to, in the words of Jor-El, Superman's father, in the 1978 original: "see my life through your eyes".

          With a PG-13 rating in the States, some parents are sure to be confused as to whether this living comic book is appropriate for their children. As the single non-custodial parent of a 13-year old girl, I do plan to share the experience of seeing this movie with my child. But if she were five years younger, I'd be less inclined to bring her to experience the movie in a theater as opposed to a DVD where I could skip certain chapters.

          The best advice I think I can offer is, if you have a young child who wants to see the movie, you should see it first because only you can properly evaluate whether he or she can handle it emotionally.

          The issue isn't language or sexually suggestive scenes, it's violence. I know children are largely desensitized to movie violence and video game violence but I do think there is at least one scene in the movie that is probably at least as intense as Lois Lane's grisly suffocation in 1978's "Superman: The Movie". I would think that the average child under the age of seven could become upset and need some reassurance.

          As in the first "Superman" movie, one American cuss word is half-uttered but that's pretty much it in terms of questionable language.

          Sexual situations don't arise but I suspect some out there might be troubled by Lois being involved with one man and still in love with another, or a child being involved but not being raised by a married man and woman. However, adopted children and children of divorce will probably feel a particular kinship to certain relationships in the film.

          Should you decide to keep Junior from seeing the movie, you have options other than a month of a nagging, crying, screaming, won't-take-no-for-an-answer child. Warner Home Video today released direct-to-DVD a kid-oriented all-new Superman animated movie called "Superman: Brainiac Attacks". The video's target audience is definitely younger viewers - say between the age who'd watch "Krypto: The Superdog" and the age who'd watch "Teen Titans". While the look of the video adheres to the old "Superman: The Animated Series" and there's some voices returning, it exists completely outside of that continuity. Kids will like the comedy and the action and the limited violence isn't very intense.

Their alter-egos are possibly the closest things that you can do to relate them at all. Yes, they are both superheroes... but the styles are just so different, they're nearly impossible to compare.
                        I don't know about that. Yes, the two heroes are impossible to compare, but it's not hard to be able to say one movie was better than the other.

                        I'm definitely in the (very small) minority here, but I thought the majority of Spiderman was a terribly overrated piece of rubbish.

                          Watch your mouth sir!!!

                          How dare you besmudge the awesomeness that is Spiderman 1 & 2...

                          Honestly though, I guess I could see why some don't like the movies as much as I did... but I think the second one was greatly improved over the first and I thought the first was good to begin with... and really what more can you ask for out of a sequel?

                          As for Superman, at first I was hating what I was seeing on the previews but I was going to give it a chance because a) I love comic movies and b) I love Singer...

                          Well something happened these last few weeks as more and more previews started coming out... I actually excited about this movie now and I can't wait to go check it out... Should be awesome. It's funny how a great trailer can change your mind on a movie so quickly.

                            Wednesday is such an odd day for a release.

                            Spider-Man 2 was a great complete package super-hero movie....from hero to villian to extras to comic relief moments to Aunt May's monologue as to why people need heros.

                              The first Spidey flick was a bit slow but I found it pretty good. The 2nd one was very good however.

                                Only other movies that came out on a Weds. that I wanted to see were the newer Star Wars movies.

                                This movie loooks pretty good. Don't know if I'll see it opening weekend, but if my friends are going I'll tag along.
