I didn't mind the kid because I thought it was handled well. I had read next to nothing about the movie and had only seen part of one trailer, so it was a complete surprise to me. I kept expecting the kid to do the typical kid things-being annoying, smarter than the adults, using his super-powers to save Mom and Richard in the boat, yadda, yadda. I was impressed that there wasn't any of that. I think that as long as the kid is handled in a similar fashion in sequels that his presence will only add to the movie. While it would have been cool to see a post-death confrontation with Lex, it didn't really feel missing to me. I thought the end worked fine. I thought the performances were incredible. Routh, especially, nailed his dual roles. He was Superman/Clark Kent. Kevin Spacey was, as usual, stellar.I was glad to see that Richard Perry was just a normal guy and not the typical jackass 'other guy' that women end up with in movie romantic triangles. I get sick of seeing the girl with a prick while you wonder why she doesn't pick the good guy. Richard was a normal, decent guy. Was I the only one that wanted to jump up and start cheering as soon as John Williams' Superman Theme started playing? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> I came out of the movie grinning and wanting to turn around and see it again.</blockquote>
