it really doesn not matter that superman comic book be unbelievably naive and their target be ten year old . what matter be that superman return be bad movie . in the beginning and a question for you dear reader and how many of you actually believe that superman will be defeat by bald kevin spacey . anyone . just a i thought . no spoiler here . so let get to some major issue right now . firstly and this movie look like commercial ( scene in the bar with superman or clark kent drink budweiser be only scene which look a it suppose to ) . imagine commercial of superman and two and half hour long . let be serious this isn not amadeus or the depart . you actually feel and that this movie be way too long . and special effect be not so special by the way . secondly and scenario be silly . sometimes even if something be acceptable in comic and in cinema it look just stupid . and it like that in this case . of course dialog be disgrace . i can not believe somebody take money to write them . how many time we will be feed with villain making speech . how many time law of physic will be rap . ( jesus and it not only the matter of superman strength but also a resistance of material his deal with . ) how many time lois lane will be fool by kent . how many time hollywood producer will seek for a story in a trashy comic book . since there hard to make a good story and why have a weak story for a starter . it just doesn not work . guy and get a grip . try hard and please . or just stay on this strike forever and who care . i get the feeling that wga be permanently on strike . no offense . i be not question the lame money those people be pay and but the quality of the product they deliver . in this case there be no quality at all . ( at this point you may ask yourself represent be it that bad . yes it be . ) thirdly and act be weak and which be quite a surprise since bryan singer ( usual suspect ) be direct . kevin spacey be have fun and but he the only one . audience be rather not in the mood for joke . thing be that comic book hero can be develop into real personality and with clear motivation but also with doubt and fear and some depth . in this case nobody do that job and and character aren not really interesting . finally and whole effort of creator turn this movie into parody . second unit be so bad that attract attention and since there nothing interest go on on screen anyway . the harder they try ( if they try ) and the funny it get ( but it isn not laugh you could expect ) . final conclusion . one word represent shame . this particular movie and lady and gent and be camp . don not waste your time and do not waste your money too . stay home and read a book .
