Superman Returns. Who cares?

After watching Superman Returns, I was not impressed. Maybe it should have come up 10 years ago.

The last installment was Superman IV: The Quest For Peace if I am not wrong. With this weird guy as Nuclear Man but the voice of Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman).

Kevin Spacey was ok as Lex Luthor....ok is not good enough for Kevin Spacey. This is the man that breathed life into The Usual Suspects and American Beauty.

I left the cinema thinking why Superman needs to fly with his fists clenched. Wouldn't it be more aerodynamic if it was flat?

And lousy attention to details. Take this for instance. A guy was heard saying "We have a new unidentified bogey..."
Hello? What is the definition of bogey? An air contact which is unidentified but assumed to be enemy. (Not to be confused with "unknown.) So the unidentified status of a bogey is a given. Unnecessary communications on the net. A big no no. Another common communications mistake would be the use of "hostile enemy". Hello, if the enemy is not hostile, who cares?

And lastly, aliens have sex organs that fit into ours. Well, at least male aliens can fit into our females. Lois Lane will know that.
