the worst Superman movie...

Well at least we can agree the IV was a terrible movie!

'As for Clark Kent ... too clutsy to in reality get the job??? C'mon.'

My complaint with Chris Reeves is that he was SO clumsy it just pulled me out the film.

Bottom line is that this is a film based on a comic - I am not looking for reality, just something that is internally consistent and lets me suspend my disbelief. Routh did a better job of this than Chris Reeves for me.


'tongue in cheek'

This is a personal thing. I don't mind supporting characters hamming things up, for me the main characters should always be played straight; unless it is a comedy.

An example would be Lemony Snicket. Jim Carey hammed up the villain and so robbed the film of any tension. I like the Brothers Grimm (authors not film) approach to fairy tales, violent and bloody - but with a happyish ending!

'Humourless'

Yep - I suppose as much humour as Batman Begins.
