Superman 2.5
Superman - 2.5I was disappointed. I expected more from a Bryan Singerproduction. The action scenes, particularly the plane one in the beginning were good, but there were some significant problems. For example, Superman came off more of as 'super creepy super stalker' to me, abusing his Xray vision and super hearing more than I was comfortable. Next, unlike in X-men, the boundaries of Superman's powers are never defined. He really has no limits - or if there are apparent limits - the rules keep getting bent. (Compare his relative strength in the airplane scene versus his outer space scene near the end)
The biggest problem I have is actually with Clark Kent, or lack thereof. The linchpin of all the previous Superman movies and Smallville is Clark Kent. As portrayed by Chrisopher Reeve, the fun part was the interactions between Clark and Lois. He's all steady and supportive while she has the biggest crush on Superman. All of that was missing in this movie. That aspect was completely taken over by Cyclops (James Marsden). Worse, should we be rooting for our hero, Superman, to break up a solid relationship that has a child?
