... sucked pond water from the get-go! Everything about the first Superman movie was a disappointment, with all due respect to the acting efforts of the now wheelchair bound Christopher Reeves who essayed the role in each of the major films. In short, it's a sad day when the best thing you can say about a film is that it has a decent cameo appearance by Marlon Brando! If you want to see the Superman role done right (as well as the careful building of Lex Luthor as a villain in an inventive re-envisioning of the concept) watch Smallville on the WB; it's superb!Unfortunately, DC hasn't fared too well in it's characters depictions on the silver screen. The first two Batman movies were a little better than the Superman series of films due to inspired direction, but here again, by focusing on the "STAR" aspect of those actors portraying the villains the Batman concept was irreparably weakened. Any time the costumed hero takes a back seat to the scenery crunching of high-dollar actors broadly portraying villains it lessens the interest in the featured character and the story itself IMO.
Spider-Man got it right, as did the X-Men earlier. Sorry padrekan, but it looks like we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.
