Not a bad movie,but nothing fantastic....or even semi-fantastic. Pros:-Brandon Routh and Kate Bosworth are good. I like their performance.-Special Effects are good.-Love the homage to the beginning sequence of the old Superman movie.Cons:-bland and unoriginal/uncreative third act climax.-bad cutting -- my goodness, there are long strings of cuts NON-action sequences where the camera wouldn't hold on anything for more than 3 seconds before cutting to a different angle (minor gripe, but after a while it started to annoy me)-side story arcs, like the son for instance, don't have a satisfying conclusion.-many dramatic moments lost impact due to Singer's directing.Another I didn't like was having to endure yet....ANOTHER movie where Superman has to be paired up against Lex. But I thought to myself, well....they are relaunching the character for a new generation, so ....yeah, you gotta do Lex for the first one again. Even though some of fanboys have seen it ad-naseum. But...not all of the audience are fanboys...so.....ok, fine....let it be Lex again. But...if its gonna be Lex again, please oh please let  his scheme of how he fights Superman be more than just simplyl getting a hold of Kryptonite....please.....Nope....disappointed again. Another thing that feels repetative is the whole villian girl-pal betraying you at the 11th hour thing again. Luthor's secretary Mercy in the cartoon makes a better female companion than any of the ones in the movies. They all seem to loose their nerve and betray Lex. First time was fine....but again? I enjoyed the Superman action set pieces, but man....a movie has to more than about sfx shots. This movie was very mediocre. Too bad, the cast did a good job acting....too bad the writers and the director didn't rise to the occasion too.   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
