Brandon Routh was a disaster as Superman. He is not even an actor. He has no talent at all, to perform this character. Superman Returns is as boring as Routh !

Good. I felt Superman Returns had its flaws, but Routh wasn’t one of them IMO. The script controlled his lines and how he should say them, and Singer controlled everything else. We all remember hearing Routh was told to stop getting so big because he couldn’t fit in the suit. So there’s the prime example of why he didn’t have the iconic superman build. The guy deserves another shot with a script that is worthy to be put on the big screen.

So is the person who wrote this a disappointed Superman fan or just someone who enjoys being hateful and snarky?

Sorry to be ridiculously positive and totally uncool but I think Shia, Brandon and Returns are all terrific.

Brandon Routh is totally superman! He was the best part of that 3 hour movie. They just need a new director and a better script. As for everyone bashing his acting he was probably asked to do a certain way. If he was given the right material he would be amazing. Kate was casted wrong that I agree on.

Brandon Routh was one of the good things about Superman Returns! I’m glad he’ll (hopefully) be repraising his role in either a reboot or a sequel. Also, Superman Returns was at least better than Superman III, IV and possibly even the Lester Cut of II (Superman emblem throw???). And for the people saying you can’t Reboot with the same actors, look at Casino Royale with Judi Dench as M. Anyways, with a better script Routh will be able to pull it off. I’d far and ahead rather have him than Welling put on the tights.

All the dreamers out there…Routh is not going to be Superman again with the reboot. Sorry to burst your bubble. I cannot fault Routh as it was Singer who picked him. I had two big issues with Routh. The first was that he was an attempt to be a Reeve clone. The 2nd is that he did not have a Superman build or presence. He is good for a Halloween Supes, but I’m sorry , he is just not a movie Superman! Routh is NOT going to be in the reboot.

Superman Returns worse than Superman III or Superman IV. It is better than both of these and it is superior to Richard Lesters Superman II which made no sense in so many areas and took what was a serious superhero mive(Superman the Movie) and attempted to turn it into a comic mess. What were you smoking before you wrote this article. Brandon routh is a very good actor and Superman Returns is a very good movie. The sequel will be even better as Warner’s and D.C. have gotten the “up the action” message!

They need to get rid of Bryan Singer too, he’s too emo. Look at X2, awesome opening scene with nightcrawler, then 2 hours of emo angst and non displays of powers. He even made Wolverine boring.

Superman Returns worse than Superman 3? Thatâ€™s quite an exaggeration. Routh was very well cast, and you canâ€™t change the lead two times in a row, it looks desperate. Bosworth was horribly cast though, she should be out for sure, I could live with that.

“IMO brandon routh was the only redeeming feature in superman returns.”

Believe me when I say I mean no offense, but hogwash. I wholeheartedly agree with Stuart.

“Brandon Routh had all the charisma of a mannequin”

Warner can’t seriously be considering carrying him over to the reboot. It’s a bad decision and will bring with it all the crappy baggage from Returns.

IMO brandon routh was the only redeeming feature in superman returns. “The man of steel” has got some momentum now, bryan singer has been trying to eek it out like a bad curry for years now.
Although Mark Millar of marvel fame (Ultimates, war heroes, civil war, kick ass, wanted) has said he wants to make a trilogy of superman films, but DC will probs shit all over that

Shia LaBeouf is the seventh seal, the new plague, humas ebola, and second only to Manolo Blahnik in the “seriously, no one has such a stupid name in real life. Are you actually called Derek?” stakes.
