I think I had too high expectations when seeing this movie. I liked what Singer had created with the X-Men franchise and expected those same high standards with Superman Returns. It's been such a long wait for Superman Returns that when it came - the plot felt a little ordinary! I lost interest in the alien real estate story and there's not much of a connection between the two great foes like Superman & Lex Luther. Sorry to say I was disappointed. A fresh story needs to be told with such an iconic superhero such as Superman. It felt like the size of the budget was the only difference to all the TV series that had previously explored these characters.

Better than expected

I'm a Billie Piper fan and really wanted to see this when I found out it was coming out in the UK. It was hard to find it on at a local cinema but I'm glad I did. I read the bad reviews in the newspapers but I wanted to see it for myself and make up my own mind. OK it's not brilliant but I enjoyed watching it. It's certainly not as bad as the reviews made it out to be. I remember hating Love Actually and this film is better than that. It takes a while to get going as there's a lot of characters to establish but I was actually moved by the final scene which helps explains the bond between the male characters (which was a nice surprise as the film was marketed as a cheerful comedy in the poster I saw). And Billie Piper is still great!
