-It was okay and all the nods to the old movies were fun (all 23 of 'em). For the first 15 minutes, it felt like they were dusting off the old hot rod and taking it for a ride. It still worked and that was fun. Especially the same text effects on the intro and the theme song. But, when we heard the same lines being used again...and the same "awkward Clark gets caught in revolving door with Lois" scene, I started to get bored. I've you seen the 1979 Superman, you could skip about 45 minutes in the middle of this film.

-I could have done without the christian/Jesus comparisons, though. Those don't work at all. The "savior" stuff was annoying and when Supes fell to earth in a crucifixion pose...puh-leeeez. I liked how someone else on another baord discounted the Superman/Jesus comparisons by saying: "did heaven explode like Krypton did?"

-I had forgotten that Lex was a straight-up bad guy in the movies. I was used to him being the evil corporate business exec who works the public.

-Kate Bosworth is officially the Third Most Bang-able Lois Lane. Teri Hatcher is still light years ahead of the pack as #1. Followed by the Animated 90's Lois as a distant #2.

-The picture-phone shot of Action Comics #1 was fun.

-Landing the plane in a baseball stadium: WHOA! People actually watch baseball in Superman's world!! Sweet!

-Peta Wilson is still hotter than your momma's meatloaf. When her character was introduced I was hoping she'd be Luthor's sidekick/chauffeur (like Mercy from the cartoons and comics). Tall, tough chic in a mini-skirt...rarrrr! C'mon movie, get to that scene!! I was disappointed when Luthor's female sidekick was the flitsy "Kitty".

-Cannibalistic doggie!! Ewwwww!

-When Supes was laying in the hospital bed and we see his big schnozz and dark eyebrows, I thought: "holy sh*t-- that's Christopher Moltasante/Michael Imperioli from the Sopranos!!" I expected him to sit up and say "what the f*ck are all you d*uchebags sitting around for? Let's get the f*ck outta' here!"

-One question. Lois, Cyclops and Superbaby are about to drown in the yacht. WHY didn't they tell Superbaby to use his Super Piano Lifting Powers and get 'em out of there? Same thing when Lois was locked in that room. I couldn't figure out why Superbaby only used his powers to whack Goofy Tatooed Bald Thug. Did I miss something?
