Superman Returns

I saw this movie this afternoon, and I have to say, it was terrible. My biggest problem is that it doesn't retain any of the kitsch that made the original movies entertaining. The acting was bad, the plot was laughable, and the dialogue was boring. There wasn't even anything interesting in the way of special effects.

Sometimes, these factors don't get in the way of me enjoying a movie, but this was at just the level of bad that it wasn't even interesting to watch at a masochistic level. A two and one half hour yawn.

Oh, what's going to happen next? He's going to lift something really big again? OK, that was neat to watch the first twenty times.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I tried to enjoy this film. It was just very boring. And never mind plotholes tieing into older movies:

Spoiler:

What gave Lex the idea that anyone would want to buy a house ON A GIANT SHARD OF BARREN MAGICAL GREEN SPACE GLASS? It's not exactly prime real estate. Flimsiest evil ploy of all time.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Ofcourse no one is going to go out and buy up lakelots on his shitty land. However when he manages to flood a third of the world, people are not exactly going to have a choice. They will NEED that land. Governments will have to buy land simply to keep their people alive. It's not out of choice, but necessity.

Spoiler:

Presumably, everyone who was living on the land that became suddenly and completely underwater would have died. No one would have been displaced, there would just be a lot of dead folks. Doesn't he say sometime in the movie that "Billions will die"?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
