Brandon Routh was fine, and I largely agree with your comments.I wouldn't kick Ms. Bosworth out of bed for eating crackers- a distinct improvement over a (frankly) somewhat homely Margot Kidder.
I found Kevin Spacey to be a much more malevolent Lex Luthor than Gene Hackman, whose performance in the original Superman: The Movie was sheer camp, akin to his blind man in Young Frankenstein (although I hasten to add I loved Hackman in the role). Spacey balanced the sinister and the humerous nicely, IMO.
The Christian allegories seemed kinda obvious to me, too.
I'm 47, and made it through all 2 hours & 34 minutes without a bathroom break (had a diet coke, too). Might it be time to see your physician for the ol' turn your head & cough? Dad had the TURP procedure early this year, and now he can make it through all 9 innings of a Padres game without leaving his seat.
