Superman Returns

"Superman Returns" is up there as perhaps the worst superhero movie I've ever seen.
- Almost everyone is miscast, with the possible exception of Jimmy Olsen. Brandon Routh as Superman is especially uninteresting to watch.
- 98% of the humor in the previous movies is gone.
- It needed to be edited down to 90 minutes or so. Superman doesn't even show up for the first 40 minutes. I think we understand the origin story by this point. Krypton is gone. We get it.
- At least 10 minutes of the movie is devoted to the wreck of a giant train set. Don't ask.
- By all rights, Lois should have saved the planet instead of Superman since she is more indestructible. During the course of the movie, she gets tossed around inside a plane like a pinball without a scratch, her leg gets broken by a bad guy then spontaneously regenerated, and then she's hit on the head by a giant steel door with full force and only knocked out briefly (again, no blood).
- The much-touted "human side" of the script seems to be nothing but a recycling of tired lines & props from the first movie.
- Finally, Superman has learned the accumulated knowledge of 20 galaxies but somehow missed the part in superhero school where you don't try to save a falling plane by holding onto its wingtip.

Gosh this movie is dumb. Watch at your own risk.
