I’m not sure why I went into this movie with low expectations, but I did. I was surprised, this movie was excellent! In this current era of superhero re-inventions and re-reinventions, I think it was actually bold of them to make this movie a continuation of 70s-80’s series. I was surprised they tried to make the new superman look so much like Christopher Reeve.

Kevin Spacey really was great as Lex. He annoys me so much, I forget how good he is at playing unlikable characters. He should stick to bad guys exclusively.

My biggest beef with this movie was that Superman was too powerful. But when I remember back, that was always my beef with the Superman comics. Other superheroes have limits, he seems to have a random conglomeration of undefeatable powers. But I guess that’s just who he is.

Four Stars
