[QUOTE="Lord Pendragon, post: 2935919, member: 707"] I agree. The only problem I had was the girlfriend. She was very much reminiscent of Hackman Lex's squeeze, and interjected too much silliness into Lex's scenes for my taste. Had she been replaced with a more competent henchwoman, he would have come across as more serious in general, and his more dangerous, aristocratic interpretation would have really shone.It was too much of an homage in my eyes. I was particularly disappointed that they went with the "bumbling Clark Kent." Eventually, Lois is supposed to choose Clark over Superman. Choose the real personality over the flashy powers. But Reeves' Clark Kent was never the kind of man Lois [i]would[/i] fall for. It was one of the strongest points of the [i]Lois and Clark[/i] TV series, IMO, that Clark Kent was actually a cool enough guy that you could believe Lois actually picking him over Superman. Still wholesome and good, but with positive qualities. Reeves' Clark just does not strike me as the kind of guy a powerful, career-oriented woman like Lois Lane is going to pick over Superman. I was disappointed to see that Singer decided to use that interpretation, pretty much whole-turkey.Well, I did enjoy the movie. I just wish it would have been even better. I had hoped for a Spider-man level of quality, and wound up with an X-Men level of quality. Good, but not great. ;) [/QUOTE]
