I saw it yesterday and yeah, I claim to being a Superman fanboy.. after all, he was there in my little kiddie life before Spider-Man... btw, I loved that they had the Spider-Man 3 trailer beforehand, but enough about that...
Yeah, I had the same gripes, albeit MINIMAL, about Superman II. Did the teleportation, the celophane S and laser hands seem out of place for me? Yeah. But did it ruin the movie for me? No.
I agree with IS as far as I HATEHATEHATE Margot Kidder as Lois Lane, but then with this addendum: It's only because basically, she looked like a hag by the time we got to Superman IV. Margot definitely looked like she'd been chainsmoking at that point and that may have negatively influenced my opinion there.
It's kinda irrational but I'm not gonna pretend I'm some infallible movie god whose logic goes because I demand it.
After all that's said... it seems we can all agree that we liked the movies but for different reasons. And I am exactly the type of nerd that'll go sit through Superman Returns again. After all, it, like the previous few, had it's "WTF" moments, including...
SPOILERS, FAGS
Superman is Lois's babydaddy? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
But hey, I'm fanboyish enough to just like the fact that Superman is onscreen again, in a rather semi-well done movie, and that Kevin Spacey is every bit as great as Gene Hackman when it comes to Lex Luthor. I just kinda wish that they'd have given him a different villain... after all, Superman's battled Lex, directly or not, through FOUR movies now...
