i saw the movie last night and i really want to like it . my expectation for the movie have be go up and down ever since i hear it be be make . some day i would see something spectacular and some day i would be disappoint . yet be the kind of fan i be and i have high hope for this movie but in the end i be sorely disappointed . while i love the richard donner movie i do not like their sometimes campy nature or the change they make to superman character and his power . singer however choose to take the bad element of the donner movie and put them in his version . while his lex luthor be slightly darker he still nothing more than a shyster and a conman and a common criminal . he no more intelligent than when gene hackman play him . kevin spacey do his best to play luthor well but ultimately he fall victim to shoddy writing and unremarkable dialog . his henchman be more two dimensional than even comic book henchman . most of them literally have no dialog in the movie . spoiler ahead kitty kowalski be almost exactly the same character a ms. tesmacher . she seem to be a evil and cold a lex luthor but she prove to be just an underling who melt after see superman in trouble and quite predictably betray luthor . the big disappointment in the movie be frank langella a perry white . i wasn not a huge fan of the over the top perry white in the donner movie but at least he have a soul . he be after all say and do and a veteran reporter who care about the truth and a good story . langella perry white be nothing but a corporate stooge . he want everyone to concentrate on the superman relate story because they sell paper even though every other paper be do the same thing . he doesn not care about the real story and the real mystery like the black out and what lex luthor be up to now that he out of prison . the bad thing about langella be that he dull . some actor can be quiet and sober and yet have an undercurrent that let you know that still water run deep . frank langella be puddle . brandon routh be not a bad actor . he ok but again there be not a single memorable line in the whole movie . not the actor fault . his movement be clearly mean to look graceful and like even the slight movement of his finger effect the way he fly . but it still look choreographed and artificial . lois lane while badly write be surprisingly well act by kate bosworth . unfortunately and again and for a pulitzer prize win journalist and writer and she be about as eloquent a any teenage on dawson creek . james marsden be my favorite actor in the whole movie and mostly because he look more like superman than even routh . without any superpower he manage to figure out lois lane message and fly a plane to the location and get on board luthor yacht and rescue lois and her son . the only move moment in the movie be when they be all trapped pantry a it be flood with water and the ship be sink . you see them slowly go be immerse in the water . you know superman go to come by at the last moment to rescue them but still you can not help but feel sorry for them . a i say before the plot be very haphazard . unlike singer have say and this be not a movie about a superhero returning and try to find his place in the world . as soon a he return the world welcome him back with open arm . lois be the only one who not happy to see him back . even luthor be happy to have superman back because it give him a chance to settle the score with the man of steel . superman be show to be probably one of the dumb hero in the universe . a big green piece of meteorite be steal from a museum and lex luthor be out of prison and he now have knowledge about superman power and weakness and and yet he still not able to connect the dot enough to know luthor would be use kryptonite against him . accord to the movie the only thing superman be good for be lift really and really heavy thing . the action sequence be all incredibly predictable .
