Yeah, if one can ignore what one knows about the lead actor, Lois & Clark was great and probably the only time the characters actually managed real sex appeal and chemistry, on the page or off. Given how important their romance is to the franchise, it's noteworthy how passionless it's been over the years.
That was one big thing about Man of Steel. I like Amy Adams but I did not feel any chemistry with her and Cavill. The new superman and lois seemed a much better fit for each other.
If I have any complaints, it’s that they made Ma and Pa Kent a bit too country bumpkin for my tastes, and they really did Jor-el and Lara dirty.
But easily my favorite incarnations of Superman and Lois! I loved the interview scene. It was a great counterpoint to Snyder’s heavy handed seriousness, showing you can still talk about the ramifications of Superman’s actions and keep the overall tone of the movie light. Also noted that it’s the reporters who take down Luthor in the end (well…after he’s physically taken down by Krypto!)
Just thrilled all around to have a great Superman movie past the Donner movies!
