Chicago Sun-Times There is I suppose a certain bottom line of competence in "Superman Returns," and superhero fans will want to see the movie just for its effects, its plot outrages and its moments of humor. But when the hero, his alter ego, his girlfriend and the villain all seem to lack any joy in being themselves, why should we feel joy at watching them? Roger Ebert

Reelviews These many years later, Bryan Singer has gotten it right. In fact, Superman Returns is not only a credit to the first two Superman movies; it may be the best of the series. Its combination of romance and fantasy adventure is unparalleled in superhero comic book-to-movie sagas. James Berardinelli

Boston Globe In general, though, the film never quite establishes the necessary momentum. Singer tends to his main characters while stranding gifted talents like Parker Posey (as Luthor's moll) and Kal Penn (as a henchman) on the sidelines, and he springs exactly one big plot surprise and doesn't do much with it. Ty Burr

San Francisco Chronicle "Superman Returns" is the Superman movie for everyone who was sitting around thinking, "I just wish someone would make another Superman movie." For everyone else, the picture has to cross one little threshold of skepticism: Why this again? Mick LaSalle
