Now before anyone starts to read this article please forgive me for the types of words you might read in this. This article will not be for the faint of heart or for kids. If fowl language makes your stomach turn or offends you please do not, repeat do not continue to read this. FUCK Warner Brothers or whoever decided to pull the sequel of Superman Returns and not only that but decided not to give Brian Singer( the creator of xmen and xmen2 which were far better than that part 3 movie pieced together), Brandon Routh, by letting his contract expire(who is this generation's Superman as far as I'm concerned), and most of all Kevin Spacey( the greatest lex luther there has ever been) there deserving true shoot at a sequel of a movie that made far more money than the Original Batman begins movie made, which Warner Bro's used to try a justify it's moving into a different direction, being upset that a movie made 400+ million for it's first movie wasn't enough????. Lets shed some light on this shall we. Matrix part one didn't make 400 million, yet it was given 3 movies to justify it's series, Bourne Identity series definitely didn't make anywhere near that much for even the part 1-2 put together and it was given 3 movies(I hate to think about what we would have missed out if they just stopped after the 1st Bourne movie because of money made). Hell you even wasted 3 fucking movies on the punisher( in different segments but still they did it) even though it showed no signs of success. Hell someone even put out a part two and three of Mortal Kombat for hell's sake( when only the 1st one was good). I mean I'd go on and on about the many movies out there that were made into a sequel and beyond that didn't even kiss the shoes of the money Superman return made and yet some fucking genius out there along with whoever else in the world cried about it until they killed it. The data doesn't even justify the result. Part 1 movies are used to established a story line and base of foundation to grow to the 2 and 3 movies. And typically part 2 movies make more than the original because of that very reason. And due to that base or foundation the director is allowed to add more action and less explanation of story lines therefore grabbing even more core audience in the process. So if part one made 400+ million then it's not that big of a jump to assume that this number will at least double. So with that possible number of 800+ million on a movie isn't enough for you to at least give it another go then you are absolutely stupid. Don't give me your opinion, give me data. Data that show's me something that states base on the tradition of movie goers and the track record of Brian Singer that this isn't going to make more money and be more exciting than it was in the first movie. Batman Dark knight almost made 1 billion for a PART 2 movie not a part 1. And I feel that those in charge thought somehow that Superman as a PART 1 movie should have done these numbers. Why not judge Batman Begins(part 1 vs part 1) vs superman returns and leave the Sequel of Superman returns to be judged against the Dark Knight? And of all this nonsense you not only going to destroy the chance at a possible death of Superman( if this is where it was going) against Doomsday, which is where I felt it was going to lead to , but you also abandon a possible new generation of Super hero, Jason, the Son of Kal-el. Think about it, they even gave you a glimpse into the future when Jason walks over to where the Boots that one day he would fill stood at the chair as Kal-el laid in the hospital. Didn't you find that like amazing and very prophetic? Just flat out amazing directing! Hell Jason could have been this new generation's superman, but a different kind (almost like a 2nd generation hero which is always stronger) that is no longer hurt by Kryptonite( because it didn't phase him in the movie when he was faced with it and that is because that was the one dominate gene that lois genes would be able to be dominate over Kal-el's if they really did have a kid). Once again amazing story and great concept. And with this in place maybe they could fixed the horrible story line that the comic gave when they tried to bring back superman in like 3 or more different supermans after stupidly killing him off. But only it's not Kal-el that comes back but rather Jason his son taking on the mantel as Superman but being stronger and set for revenge against the only thing in the universe that could have killed his dad..DOOMSDAY. I mean you could go on and on. It's a real waste I'm telling you and it's very sad to see how greed of money and robe us of the greatest super-hero every created in the comic world. To Brandon singer: don't ever second guess your efforts, vision, or direction you took for Superman. You did deliver on the very best superman one could have hoped for for a part 1 movie. Superman has always been about his love for the World and Lois and has always had lex as his greatest enemy because lex fought him with is mind not muscle. To brandon: you are superman, there is no body that could have brought tears to my eyes as you ran down the street to change to superman looking like a young Christopher Reeves, you did him justice rest assured. To Kate: you kept the purity of the image of lois lane in check and gave us a smarter version and yet very respectful decent view of her at the same time. And Finally Kevin Spacey: I don't think there is anything i need to say but yes you once again torn down the limits of a character and brought a better more realistic view of them. A second to none performance given and by no way can be equaled or beat. You guys are all my hero's and have given me at least one of the greatest renditions of my favorite comic book heros of all time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will never forget this movie for the rest of my life.
