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?

Eh, I thought Lois had no personality at all. And she was so, so whiny. I don't understand the way they characterized her at all...she shouldn't be someone who has to whine at her boss like a child to get what she wants, and she shouldn't be someone who would put up with his sexist comments. She made no sense as a character. They gave no sense of her intelligence, or her strength or force. She was a milquetoast, average girl with no sense of humor.

It really makes me sad. I wanted so much for the movie to have a good Lois, but quite frankly the more I think about her, the more I don't really want to see the movie again just because of her.

Thought KB was just really, really bad, too.

I went into the film expecting her to annoy me, but I thought she did fine in the journalism role. She was a bit whiny over Superman, but then I always think of Lois as quite dreamy and lovestruck over him anyway *g*

Lois from L&C used to watch romance with a box of tissues, while kicking ass in her professional life. Sort of the contrast to how Lois will get around Superman. And he did just took off without a goodbye. Plus it would seem that he had spend the night with Lois, and left her pregnant, before taking off with no goodbye...
