@ E, SF

No, it doesn’t burst my bubble. Any new Superman movies will not be sequels to this one. They’ll be either reboots or just a totally different story. Superman Returns will stand alone, for better or for worse.

Hope it doesn’t burst your bubble and maybe you can disprove this theory, but what if the fact that Superman didn’t get Lois was simply because they were saving that for the sequels that they had envisioned before this was released? I’m sure that if there are sequels, Lois’ husband will be rendered irrelevant due to some kind of deus ex machina, or worse, through the cliche writing that you so clearly condemn……..because you know that Superman and Lois are going to end up together.

@ MacGyver

Totally agree on Spacey. I think he’s normally a good actor, but his Luthor was so underwhelming. Hackman is still king.

I’m with you on Superman Returns. It certainly wasn’t great, and not worth its 200 mil price tag, but it wasn’t terrible. It was pretty obvious that Singer cared for the character to develop him rather than make him fight the whole time, but he didn’t properly think out a worthwhile physical challenge for Superman. The Luthor plot was lame, and Kevin Spacey actually did a poor job with the character (which I never would have expected, prior to seeing it.)

Good point but Superman Returns was still a horrible film in that Lex Luthor’s entire plan is to grow a giant crystalline continent which he think ‘everyone’ will want to build cities and homes on. The entire continent is made of giant rocky crystals! There’s no water or dirt anywhere. Plus, he’s a supervillian who knows the continent will kill ‘millions’ of people because it will displace oceans. The world would collectively move to the middle of the desert before moving to Lex Luthor’s giant crytalline continent, if even just out of principle. But mainly because you can’t build a city on a giant crystalline rock with no resources on it. Superman could have gone on vacation to Barbados and the movie would have wound up with the same negative outcome for Lex.

I think you mean Lois Lane, not Lois Lance.

@ Ugo Strange

Marsden is such a bland, boring actor…which made him perfect for Cyclops.

@ Lagrange

Kryptonite was obvious, didn’t think it needed to be said.

@ Korinthian

I’m sorry. In what way? And I’m not sure I understand the irony…unless I was using lazy cliches myself?

nice rant.
“Superman is hurt emotionally, pretty much the only way he can feel pain.”, makes me wanna drop a lame kryptonite comment.
@ne0: I think both are not not hot
