Reply #24: I actually ended up enjoying it overall [View All]

I have never been a huge Superman fan. It has been years since I saw the originals with Reeve. I saw them when I was young and don't really remember much. I also never got into "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman" or "Smallville".

I did think this was a good tribute to the originals though - I liked how they used the original John Williams Superman theme and the voiceover with Brando's voice. In the end they also dedicate the movie to Christopher and Dana Reeve. It's too bad neither of them saw this completed.

Spacey was fun, a bit over the top at times, but he always looks like he's enjoying himself, regardless of the role. He's one of favorite actors. Routh did a great job as Superman. At first when I saw the ads, he looked like too much of a pretty boy. But he does a fine job. Bosworth is adequete as Lois Lane.

There were some plot holes and things that weren't explained too well. I thought Luthor's whole "building an island" thing was kind of stupid in all honesty. And as has been mentioned, his absence for five years isn't well explained either.

There are some cool scenes too keep an eye out for: the cover of the first comic appearance of Superman (Action Comics #1) is featured in one scene (when he lifts the car).
