Superman Returns spoilers...
I really loved the film. It was a bit longer than I thought it was going to be though...
I thought Superman and Clark were perfect. I liked seeing him run and enjoy his powers when young. But why did he wear glasses at that age? To prepare for a future life as a superhero???
Loved Lois. I know some people thought she was too soft, but other than the faint, I really liked her. I did think the "how many f's in catastrophe" was lame though. Even if someone thinks that word has a f in it, why would there be two f's??? And I wasn't sure what time it was set in, but there were mobile phones and computers, so presumedly spell-check?
Richard was so sweet. I loved him. It was really nice that they had a character like that to show the best the humanity had to offer. I still hope the sequel has Superman and Lois romance though :D
As for Lex, I thought there was a tendency to go a bit over the top/campy at times, but mostly I liked him. His scene with Lois was pretty good. It's a shame we only got confrontation scene with Superman though. I thought Lex being so sadistic there was interesting, but overall I would have preferred a more cool and calculating Lex.
I didn't like when Lois turned the plane around to save Superman, she should really have gotten her son to safety first. But oh well.
And I know Smallville and SR conferred, so I don't know if there were deliberate references to Smallville, but I noticed Lex referring to mythology just like our Lex does, and Lois saying that Superman never lies, which I took as a sort of wink at Smallville's Clark. Oh and I suppose that Jonathon was killed in season 5, to fit in with the film
Overall I really loved it, and Clark/Superman were my favourites :) I missed the tribute to Christopher Reeves though, I thought there would be one included in the end credits?

What perplexed me by A&M statements about them meeting with Singer to make sure there were no egregious conflicts between the two is that the Superman films supersedes SV. Jonathan dies in the first film. And that's about it. Lex is like the film Lex, but more evil. Hackman's Lex was too soft because he was an opportunists. I guess prison hardens you. There's no conflicts I could think of that SV would need to address. I think they just wanted to visit the set :)
Superman tells Lois in the first film that he never lies (but Clark apparently does), so I think that was a callback.
They placed it right after the initial run of credits. So after the cast's credits is a tag that says "Dedicated with Love and Respect to Christopher and Dana Reeve". Then the credits continue.
It seemed long when I was in the theater, then the next day I found out it was 2hrs and 45 mins long and I was like "Damn!! 3 hours. No wonder I was restless". I've seen it twice, so I couldn't have been that put out.
LOL! I never thought of that.

Probably *g* Well they did get the Fortress of Solitude similar?
And I know! We were sat there for three hours, because something like 15 minutes for the start time advertised was trailers
And ah okay. I thought the tribute was going to be at the end. I was looking at the visuals at the beginning, so I probably missed it..
