Wow. I thought I was about the only person who wasn't thrilled with the new Superman movie. I actually got annoyed at Kevin Spacey because I thought he was channelling Gene Hackman a bit too much... but that was also the writing. You've got 75 years of Superman stories to choose from, many about Lex Luthor, yet he has the same real-estate obsession that he had in the 1979 film? Give us something fresh and original, please!
Anyway - I didn't dislike the film, I just didn't like it very much. It was kinda boring. Maybe my expectations were too high going in, but still, it felt like a dissapointment. I agree with you on pretty much every point (though I didn't have a problem buying into the airplane thing... but I haven't had that experience)
