While an old enemy plots to render him powerless once and for all, Superman faces the heartbreaking realization that the woman he loves, Lois Lane, has moved on with her life. Or has she? Superman's bittersweet return challenges him to bridge the distance between them while finding a place in society that has learned to live without him. In an attempt to protect the world he loves from cataclysmic destruction, Superman embarks on an epic journey of redemption that takes him from the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of outer space.

Superman Returns: The Official Movie Guide = Real Collector's Item,
By enommaz (Grapevine, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Superman Returns: The Official Movie Guide (Paperback)
I bet you've been thinking whether or not you should purchase "Superman Returns: The Official Movie Guide"...seeing that the film scheduled to be released on June 28th (originally scheduled for June 30, 2006) is just 3 short weeks away.I got the opportunity to read the guide, and it was a magnificent and mesmerizing quick-read; with pages upon pages of beautiful photography from the film (admittedly for those of you who've spent the last year following the film's production via the internet...some/most of these photos (and information) may not be new to you; but for the uninitiated, you're in for a fabulous treat. The guide starts with a humble and heartfelt introduction by the director [Bryan Singer]. After that you're taken on a brief journey into the comic book history of the character (for those of you not fully aware of the character's origin outside of the original 1978 Richard Donner film [Superman The Movie] for which Bryan Singer's "Superman Returns" is vaguely branched). Throughout the rest of the guide, you'll be treated with "glimpses" into, and "interviews" from, cast and crew. This book, very simply lays out the natural progression of the film's story without revealing (too many) key details in plot. Bottom line...as the years pass, I predict this will be a seriously sought after collector's item. So buy it soon (or now)...before someone on "Amazon Marketplace", "Ebay", or some "other seller" in the next 20 years tries to sell you a used copy of it for $300.00. Enjoy the Guide...it is a MUST HAVE.

Exactly what you'd want,
By B Waters (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Superman Returns: The Official Movie Guide (Paperback)
This book is not meant to be an in-depth look at the making of the film. Rather, it's a book that's about 75% pictures. And really, that's exactly what it should be. We've been lucky enough to follow the production of this film from Day 1 via Bryan Singer's video diaries (bluetights.net). We've seen how the film was made, and further documentaries will explain it even further. It's just wonderful to sit back and look at the details of the beautiful finished product, and this book delivers. I found myself dwelling on each page like it was an art book. Considering the great price here on Amazon, if you're big enough of a fan to be reading this, you won't regret picking this up!

Brilliant,
This review is from: Superman Returns: The Official Movie Guide (Paperback)
Wonderful pictures, and it provides a fantastic insight of the Superman Returns movie which I had the privilege of going to see at the movie theatre today. It only came out in the UK today and I must have been one of the first to see it.It was breathtaking. A must see for all Superman fans. For any Superman follower it's a must buy, and I can't wait until I can buy the DVD. I have asked Amazon to let me know when it becomes available. As far as the book goes, it is a good buy because although it has lots of info, it doesn't give the story away. Excellent. Thanks.
