Review of Superman Returns

Overall the movie was okay, it was fairly entertaining. I thought it was a disappointment. SPOILERS - the big problem I have with it was the fact that Superman and Lois had a little boy (out of wedlock). This made no sense to me at all. I have a problem with it on many levels. First - I assume this happened sometime during the period of "Superman II" when he gave up his powers so he could have a relationship with Lois. Okay but at that point she knew he was Clark Kent. So what happened that she got pregnant, knew Superman was the father but not know he was Clark Kent? Then the whole issue with Superman being the wham-bam-thank-you-man type. That goes against his whole philosophy of taking responsibility, being "good", etc. And then Lois is married? The comic book has been successful for 70 years and I don't remember Lois getting married to some other guy (though the actor that played him did a good job).

And Superman zips off into space leaving the "Fortress of Solitude" wide open? This after Lex Luthor was in it during Superman II and obviously could get back? I don't remember Superman being that stupid.

I also thought the part of Superman wasn't well cast. He just didn't seem to be a "superman", he seemed more like a Clark Kent panty-waist. That wasn't a big problem but given the amount of money spent on this movie I would have thought they would have come up with a better lead.

I left thinking I don't care if they make a sequel to this or not. It's not something I would spend money on again.
