Superman Returns
My thougths: (semi-spoiler-free)
Positives:
Fantastic score - William's themes are used a lot, and added to just right. The element of big choir sounds was perfect. Brandon Routh is good as Superman, I'd want to see him do the role again. Kevin Spacey was a GREAT Lex Luthor, and Parker Posey as Kitty was great, too. The CG/Special Effects work was near perfect. Beautiufully shot and designed film, every scene looks good - hooray for the HD Digital cameras!
Neiher positive nor negataives:
Lois Lane was a little young, and a little wimpy, but she grew on me, and I liked her by the end. The actions scenes were fantstatic, but there weren't enough. And some of them seemed to be thrown in there just because we wanted to see Superman in action, and didn't have enough to do with the major plotline.
Negatives:
I liked Lois' son plotline, but I would have rather seen in later in a sequel. Lex's grand plan was evil and murderous, but not very well planned - I would have MUCH rather seen Lex discover and use additional Kyrpotonian technology beyond growing crystals. The last 15 minutes were unnecessary, and left me liking the movie instead of running out and cheering, pretending to fly around like superman.
Overall:
I enjoyed every second of the movie, but I didn't leave cheering like i'd hoped. It was a little slow. I look forward to a sequel.
