Superman Returns: The Complete Shooting Script

A must-have for Superman Returns or Brandon Routh fans. For those who have watched the movie, this book will enhance your enjoyment of and love for it as you revisit the ingenious script, interviews, and deleted scenes truly worthy as a sequel to the original 1978 Superman movie.

I can't remember why I bought this but it's the shooting script can't say much, but does give you a look at the changes made while the movie was in production. If you love Superman then get it. I know a lot of people don't like Returns and I can't say it is my favorite Superman movie but it wasn't bad it was... okay. The actors were great choices but maybe the issues was making a direct sequel of Superman II. But give it a go.

My movie loving nephew loved this gift! It was a great way for him to be exposed to different mediums of literature.

good book

I saw the movie first in Imax 3-D and it was amazing! This script by Bryan Singer is spectacular. The only downside for me (for the movie & script) was the character of Kitty (Lex's dumb girlfriend). Parker Posey is annoying at best. Her only role I liked was in Scream 3. As for the character of Kitty, expect someone shallow , annoying & completely not needed in this story (or movie).Overall, though, Superman Returns is one of the best scripts for comic book movies out there. You can tell there is a lot of love and insight into the character of Superman. Unfortunately they treat Clark Kent as a disguise only, unlike Smallville where Clark is the real him and Superman will be the disguise.The plot is a little out there. Lex wants to get his share of money from the world by creating basically a new Krypton on earth. When Lois says (quote from memory, might be off a little) "but it will kill millions" Lex responds "Wrong. Billions!" well who's going to pay to live on this land if billions die? For an evil genius this is Lex's dumbest comments. Sure he is supposed to have a downfall so Superman can beat him, but something so simple should have been better thought out.Otherwise, the script is very well done. Even if you don't see the movie first, it is a quick read and well worth the buy.
