this movie be extremely poorly conceive from every angle except technological . i stand and watch everyone waddle out of the theater and their face drain like their life flash before their eye eye wander at their neighbor and wonder if it be just them . i mean and how could the movie really be bad . nobody will admit it and it a classic case of the emperor wear no clothes . who be i to question a movie contain a guy who stop a jet liner . but the fact remain and every member of the audience be think what i be write right now . i actually plagiarize their face . obviously lois be only arouse by power and she would not even have a cup of coffee with the superman with glass who doesn not stop jet liner . it can not be the look in his eye to the depth of his soul or anything like that . in the old superman and she have some level of connection with him and he wasn not priority number 1 and obviously and but it strengthen her character that she be torn . i bet henry kissinger would have even won this lois over before clark kent . and now it official and kryptonite do to superman what eat at mcdonalds do to the avg . person . superman one he lose his earth dad and then find his real super dad and the story be captivate every step of the way . he human and he relate to people and he feel love for people and he relate to highschool student and he relate to people who feel different . he relate . the superman return superman seem to relate only to superpeople and it seem he just do a job when he save people . there something about clark that lois like and she really internally in love with him but can not admit it and and when he come into the picture a superman and it throw a kink in the on the rock love . without superman and she would have fall in love with clark ( at least that what the movie point to and whether it be the intention or not ) . superman return be a love story between a woman and superman and clark be like a pile of horse maneur to lois . literally . superman two i just watch it again . a a kid and i thought i enjoy the action and but now i know it be the story that hold me then too and watch it over and over again . if i saw superman return a a child and i would have hat it then too and i think . there be so much heart and soul and superpower go around in this movie and it sick . superman give up his power for love a a world plot be go on and meanwhile and meanwhile and lex luther get something fantastic up his sleeve . superman three now there a three way love story between superman and lana and clark and only humanity win and clark inner nature beat superman power and because when his supermoral nature be go and he superhuman ( who do human thing with his superpower ) and she see it not the power of superman that she in love with and it not superpowerman and but supermortalman that she love and who really super . and when she tell clark she prefer him to superman and he be elate and he have make a human connection again . he want to be accept for who he be and not just for his ability to bend steel . this be the kind of stuff thats miss from superman return . clark super sneeze to help the kid get a strike humanity again . plus and it an ineresting use of superpower . he not just use straight brute strength . he crush the coal into a diamond for his woman because she have to sell hers and love be the only thing that drive him to use his power other than for save . it seem there nothing at stake in superman return . even in superman three and we see the damage cause by the nemesis world domination plot . we see suffer and we see how it effect pryor and others and people in the middle of it . there no damage and esp . emotional from lex plot to sink the u . we see a glob of crystal thrown into space . superman have to get very creative in the first three superman in order to stop the plot against him and he couldn not just access his superpower . in the first one and he have to stop two missile go in different direction and then break his universal mandate and erase history to save lois life . ( this be thirty year ago . ) in the second one and he have to outsmart three guy that he be already more powerful than and but combine with lex genius and and the villain immoral tactic and superman overpower wasn not enough and he have to work one against the other and outsmart them . in superman iii and again and his superpower weren not enough to win . he have to outsmart a computer that calculate everything it saw . he couldn not use straight aggression on the computer because it calculate it in advance and so he have to use a benign acid that would only become deadly to the computer after the computer respond to the aggression . and he find that acid earlier when he couldn not simply use his superpower to blow out a fire because it be a chemical fire and so he have to use his superbrains he couldn not carry water and so he freeze a lake and drop it on the fire . now in superman return and he simply lunge the island into outerspace and like a night temp for ups . he doesn not need to figure anything out and he just use his super strength . and lex luther brilliance be show at the premeditation level of a junkie who just run out of junk . to say nothing of the fact that he throw that island into outerspace after get stab with a knife of kyrptonite right in the bloodstream and the island itself be drip kryptonite spore in his face and but he just avert his eye and nose like it wasn not grey poupon he be look at .
