I should say right off that I’ve never liked Superman. He’s too powerful, too goody-goody, and wears tights and a cape. (Blech.) That said, I liked this film. Well, not completely. The Lex Luthor new-continent subplot is iron-lung lame. The Lois-Supey story holds the film together – that and the fact that Lois has borne Supey’s child while he was away. (That’s not a spoiler – everyone but the title character and Lois’s partner has scoped this out 10 minutes in. Part of the fun is waiting for the kid to prove you right.)
