While I realize I mentioned my utter dislike of Superman on the X3 thread, my friends talked me into going.
Superman Returns was better than I expected, but I expected the worst.

I felt like Spacey and Posey were really the highlights of the film and was interested by the angle that Lex is trying to "check" Superman's all powerful self (with a profit for himself of course).
I was also very put off by the creepy stalker vibe of Supes.

Oh, and here's the comic geek in me, Metropolis was based on Toronto not NY. NYC is Gotham. I don't mean to say that the city in the film should have looked like Toronto, but maybe a lot less like New York.

All in all, I was very bored and wish I had 6.50 of my $8.50 back. This is without a doubt a film to see in the second-run discount theater.
