Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Konterr Brilliant and touching

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Louis This was an absolutely horrible film and was not worth anywhere near the 20,000$ that was spent on it, the acting was terrible, the story was terrible the effects were terrible and don't say they were good for 20k because you can do better effects than that on Final Cut Pro which is only about £300. There is no depth to the characters and the corny lines are laughable ever in the moments of 'peril'. Do not ever waste your time watching this film you will want to rip your hair out by the end of it. I'm just thankful they never put it into theatres otherwise every cinema would be put out of business by endless lawsuits for the cause of permanent brain damage. I wish I could give less than one star but unfortunately IMDb doesn't allow for that so I have to be generous

Desertman84 Superman: Requiem is a high-value fan-film that depicts the life of Superman several years after the events of Superman Returns, and takes into account the events of Superman,Superman II and Superman Returns, and focuses on an event by an evil villain who attempts to make Superman lose his powers. With this obstacle,he must therefore try to save the world and prove once again that Superman can be dependable as always.Too bad that the performances of the cast aren't good at all despite the fact that it had a great story.What's bad about it is it simply bad film.The only positive thing about it is the idea of the story and the guts that the filmmakers had into releasing the film.Overall,this amateur filmmakers who made this film could be considered cheesy and somewhat funny without the intention of doing so.

Johalloran-1 This is Jack O'Halloran,I lent my name to this project because I thought the talent going in was very good. When some one has a passion and delivers a project. With a limited budget as these people did successfully. Not only delivered a product but one that has substance and their dedication and talent stood out. I had no problem lending my name to the project and I don't do that lightly. Being from the original cast of the films Superman1&2. I applaud their efforts for what they did. And I would work with them in the future. When you judge something in our Industry. You need to take in all the components involved. This project was done on a minimal budget which means people gave their time for no money. To have that passion and turn out a product that meets criteria is brilliant. Anyone can take 30million dollars and make a movie and a lot of those don't meet the level of what these people produced. Giving people support in their projects, is what our industry is about. When I see and feel the creative passion in people. Realizing the length they are going to with their drive and determination to finish something properly they have my vote and support. I truly look forward to the next project they do. Because I know there will be a next project if we allow them to grow. We need creative life in our industry and we can't discourage them we must support them. Especially when there talent shines thru their adversity.

Jnoirnoir1032 Where to start? At the positive. Superman Requiem is a really ambitious attempt by a group of amateur film makers who have seemingly come together to make a home movie that picks up events following Superman 2. The plot largely centres around Superman/Clark kent's return to find that Lois has fled to London. He is left to rebuild, and we focus on his subsequent battle with the son of Lex Luther who seeks personal revenge. Again, I want to make a point in commending the film makers for actually getting this film made, given that due to copyright and intellectual property this will have certainly been entirely self funded and everyone will have worked for free due to their love of the source material. The home made special effects are also decent enough at first glance. Unfortuanately, that's all the positives right there. The direction is shambolic, with absolutely no fluidity to any of the scenes, most of the camera work is stiff and you can tell that 'action' has just been called as each new scene starts. The acting is dreadful. Martin Richardson is a very unlikely Superman not only in his slight and gangly build, but in his awkward delivery, appearing almost embarrassed at the dialogue he is forced to spout. Stacy Sobieski fares little better as Superman's new love interest, coming across wooden and disinterested for the most part. Beyond the two leads there are some truly shocking supporting performances. Alex Luther is somewhat watchable but his crew of henchman are utterly terrible. I did quite well to get past the opening 5 minutes of the film, given that the acting was so poor in the 'set up.' Children's nativity plays are more believable. That said, this has to be forgiven considering that it is a fan film and that these are not professionals. With that view, I hope that they enjoyed the experience and will keep a DVD of their movie but leave film making to the professionals from now on.
