ROTTEN TOMATOES: Critical Consensus: "Superman" And "Devil" Are Certified Fresh Comments

Critical Consensus: "Superman" And "Devil" Are Certified Fresh

by Tim Ryan | June 29, 2006

Summary

This week's wide releases both involve publishing. In "The Devil Wears Prada," the setting is a fashion magazine, and in "Superman Returns," it's The Daily Planet. So maybe that's why the critics like both these movies so much... Back to Article

I went to see Superman today and Superman should've never returned. It was terrible but Parker Posey and Kevin Spacey were good

I haven't seen Prada yet (maybe next weekend with my mom... I owe her) but I have seen Superman and thoroughly enjoyed it. I liked how Singer incorporated material (music, themes,...) from the first two movies and while the running-time seems a bit long, time just seemed to fly (no pun intended) when I watched it. It also had its depressing parts, much in the vein of the last Batman film, which weren't cheesy like I thought of Spidey 1 and 2's apparently "sad" moments.

The only thing that was disappointing was Luthor's master plan... Overall though, it's great to see that red cape again =)

I'm going to see Prada tomorrow, and i saw Superman tonight. I was enjoyed it a lot. Not having seen the others may give me a handicap... Still, i thought it was impressive. And i'm very happy that prada is getting good reviews, it looks good.

oh yeah agreed what kinda lame master plan was that?

How was that plan gonna work at all, hope I'm not spoiling anything here but all his plan was gonna do was kill billions of poeple, and not make him any money, I thought hes suppose to be like a genius of something? haha

**Spoiler alert**

He wanted to be a maniacal Donald Trump. Since I'm guessing he didn't want to spend money buying land (he just came out of prison after all), he'd rather just create it. Then I figure that some people might be interested in buying land there and such. It makes a little sense, but still. It doesn't sound like something Lex Luthor would do.

**End spoiler**

To those who haven't seen it, go see Superman Returns!!

well its dumb for 1) after you kill a billion people whos gonna be left to buy your land, 2) who wants land thats just a bunch of rocky hard cliffs? 3) if superman doesn't stop him I'm pretty sure a couple nukes would, 4) he said he has alien technology to protect him? what crystals? I know I'm being nit picky but it always bothered me, for a more super duper advanced civilaztion the fortress of solitude has no doors or locks? Over all a very good film just the master plan really bugged me. And obviously i'm not the only one.

well hopefully they go with a new villain next time. Luthor is Superman's opposite and i know that's why it was necessary to use him for Superman's cinematic return, but he's overused. but how great would it be if Supes would go toe-to-toe with Metallo, Brainiac, or some other superpowered foe in the next film? just think of the Zod street fight from 2 done with 2006 technology and CG. how cool would an all-out Super-brawl be? okay, Supes is back, he's saving people, and so on. that's all fine and dandy, but for the next film, let's see him really kicking ass.
