I have a difficult time believing that they will kill off Superman. The might kill him and bring back like they did in the comics, but I doubt they will kill him permanently. I just watched the film tonight I give it a 7. Opening credits were great. Routh did better in the part than I expected. Althought now that think of it I do question the spying on Lois bit. Not just because the Superman from the comics wouldn't act that way, but because the Superman from Superman I and II wouldn't do that either. That brings up another complaint. In
Superman II, Superman broke off the relationship with Lois because the holograms in the fortress of solitude told him if he wanted to be with lois, he would have become human. If he becomes human, he loses the ability to save people and fight crime like he does. He decided that saving people and fighting crime was more important than a relationship with Lois. So, why would he be worried about Lois having a boyfriend in this movie?

*spoiler*
Here is another problem: First in the when was the Superchild concieved? Superman and Lois did not have that kind relationship pre Superman II. At the end of Superman II, Superman broke off the relationship, so the child was not concieved after Superman II as that would have involved Superman giving up his powers and becoming human. Therefore , the child must have been concieved during their Superman's and Lois's romance at the fortress of solitude during the events of Superman II. At the end of Superman II, Superman erases Lois's memory of their romance because their breakup was hurting her too much. So how could Lois possible know at that Superman is the child's father? She has no memory of them having sex! Then again, maybe the new cut of Superman II clears this up.

I know we talked about this before, but when I heard the line "truth, justice, and all that other stuff" I came sooooooooo close to throwing my popcorn at the screen and booing out loud. I still say it is p.c. b.s.

*spoiler*
I have a feeling that they are planning to bring Superman and Batman together. At one point in the movie, a tv news report lists a few cities. One of the cities meantioned was Gotham.

I haven't read too many of comics, but I did read COIE and Infinite Crisis. both depict Superman being able to go into space without needing a space suit. So if it is ok for COIE and Infinite Crisis, why is it not ok for the movies to do the same thing?

Does anyone else have a small problem them deciding to throw out Superman III and IV? I know they were terrible movies, but they were made. It is right or fair to throw them out of the continuity? Does this mean the creaters of Star Trek can throw out Star Trek V. What about Godfather III?

While I am glad that they used John William's music, I felt this move would be alot better If John Williams had scored the entire movie. Just my opinion.

Does anyone agree that Kevin Spacey should be blacklisted for his mailed in going through the motions performance? I know he can do 10 times better that that.

Btw, I saw a trailer for a movie that I must see: Invincible. It tells the real life story of a walk on player for the Philadelphia Eagles. I can't wait to see it!
