Which Superman Movie do you prefer?

Ok lets put this in perspective, we all know the story of superman right. Well this isn't about that, this is about comparing movies. I want to compare Superman The Movie which came out in 1978 to Superman Returns which came out this year. Now I know Superman Returns just came out in theaters but maybe a good number of people have seen it by now, myself included. But I was just wondering how many of you prefer over the other.





Now when you make your choice I would like a good reason on why you picked the choice that you did. Personally I liked Superman the Movie that stared Christopher Reeve over Superman Returns that stars Brendon Routh, now I'm not saying Superman Returns is a bad movie far from it I liked it very much.





anyway here are your options





Superman The Movie (1978) vs. Superman Returns (2006)

Which Superman Movie do you prefer?
OK, Superman movies will never be known for the quality of the acting. So that basically leaves us with story and effects. The original "Superman" had a better story as it got to set up the whole background. Without the background there wasn't much left of the story. Besides, like you said, we all knew the story already anyway. With that said, the newer version "Superman Returns" is a much better and more exciting movie.
Reply:that's not a good thing to say, the first superman movies had very good acting in them. can't say the same for SR though, the FX of him using x ray vision was just not on the ball for me. i like the old way of showing x ray vision. Report It

Reply:the new one had green and blue water and sky. what's up with making the water and sky green and blue or at least cyan? Report It

Reply:Superman The Movie (1978). No one beats Christopher Reeves as Superman,but I can say this new kid does know how to sound like him in the movie.
Reply:I was not there in 1978 , But I have seen the movie on DVD , I have also seen 2006 Movie. In sence of special effects , The 2006 One is hell lot of better. Otherwise The First one is better.
Reply:The one where all the actors who take on the role of Superman always meet an untimely end. It's due out in 2010.

was 3 years old and got hooked eversince





Christopher Reeve was the perfect Superman. Brandon Routh looks the part but he should have given more life to the character of Clark Kent.





Christopher made his Clark Kent so goofy and awkward to the point that no one would notice he is in fact Superman, despite the uncanny vital statistics the two characters shared. Saw Superman Returns last night and there was little difference in the portrayal of Superman and Clark Kent by Brandon. At least, Bryan Singer did a damn good job resurrecting the franchise.
Reply:superman 1 and 2 with christopher reeves!
Reply:Superman: The Movie (and #2). Christopher Reeve will ALWAYS be Superman!!!
Reply:Sure, the comparisons need to be made, but we need to keep in mind that Superman The Movie came out in 1978! At the time, it was one of the most (if not the most) groundbreaking film ever made. The visual effects may seem a bit simplistic today, but at the time - people were wowed back then in a major way! They did what they could with what they had...without CGI.





Superman Returns has a good script, I was actually surprised.


Let's discuss the acting....We won't get into the Marlon Brando thing, 'cause he's sort of in both. Right...anyways...let's move on. Gene Hackman brought a comic element to the role of Lex Luther that Kevin Spacey lacks...don't get me wrong,Spacey is an incredible actor, I just like Gene Hackman's take of the charactor more.


Margo Kidder may be a looney these days, but back in '78, she was da bomb! Which brings us to Brendon Routh vs. Christopher Reeve. I gotta say Routh did a good job, but I think its pretty clear who the REAL Superman is...long live the original. Nonetheless, I am happy to see Superman Returns on the big screen, and it got a much deserved face-lift.

Movie night........?


I am having a movie night and I am inviting 6 people 3 girls and 3 guys. But one of the guys hasa girlfriend and I was wondering if it is wrong to invite him to my movie night and I want to though.... And I was wondering what good movies there are that we can watch. And I want them to be for both guy and girl ? Help I need help with my 2 question. thanks!!!

MoViE nIgHt.................?
Is this a guy you like? Why wouldn't you want him to bring his g/f along?





If this is just a friend, I say invite him - but don't keep him from bringing his girlfriend if he wants.





As far as movies - comedies and action. Don't go drama/chick flicks or the guys may end up falling asleep on you! lol
Reply:Go see stomp tha yard that junks hot. That is all.
Reply:well you can invite him, but its his call if he wants to join you. are you inviting him over as your 'date'... bc if he does come over and kinda cheats on his gf with you then he just might be a cheater and you wouldnt want a boy like that either.


regardless, id stick with comedies; taladega nights, dodgeball, wedding crashers.. movies like that
Reply:Saw 3 if you're into horror.

Invite the boy, if he is your friend. he might be hurt if you don't invite him
Reply:invite him AND his girlfriend
Reply:maybe it would be nice to invite the gf too, but other weise dont worry about it. i would get The Island, its a really good movie good for guy and girl, The Wedding Crashers for a good laugh, Family Stone if you want a more calm movie, The Upside of Anger if you want a more one toned movie.
Reply:Well, I'm assuming that you don't like this guy's girlfriend?


If you like him then it's probably not a good idea b/c the possibility of him cheating on his girlfriend is NEVER good for anyone. If he's just a friend and you're not interested in him then it's probably okay but you should make sure there's no pressure on this guy and a girl, as in don't have all couples and this guy sitting there feeling akward b/c he has a girlfriend. Unless you're worried about his girlfriend getting mad at you, go ahead and invite him. Afterall, it is HIS decision to come or not and what happens when he's there. Don't worry too much about it. Comedies are always safe for both guys %26amp; girls. My favorites are Grandmas's Boy, Clerks II, etc. but exciting/action movies would be good b/c generally they can at least hold a girl's attention and guy's always like those, beware of scary movies b/c that's when cuddling happens and you don't anyone to feel weird b/c they're left out or ... not left out but rather creeped out!

Movie with creepy cab driver?

It's bugging me...there is a movie where the main character(s) get into a cab, and the driver is a creepy looking red head- he's evil looking and his face is pretty "warped". I thought it was carrot top (made to be even uglier) but it wasn't. The driver only appears 2x in this movie...once was in the streets. Both times he looks almost demonic. Does anyone know the movie? It was maybe 5-6 years ago? I think the movie had kind of a creepy feeling over all and the driver just enhanced it. Not sure…this is all I remember!
