As a long-time fan of Superman from the comics, through the 1950s series, the first two of the Chris Reeves films and Lois & Clark, and finally Smallville, I was *really* hoping for something clever with "Superman Returns".

Instead we got Lex Luthor making *another* attempt at real-estate conversion, another Superman-beaten-up-while-wearing-kryptonite sequence, and internal inconsistencies: he couldn't stop himself falling into the ocean when stuck with 6" of kryptonite, but when Lois breaks off 3" of it, *leaving the rest embedded in him*, he can lift *a continent* into space?? Really, the only hero in the story was Lois' partner - I can't remember his name off-hand. He did all kinds of life-saving, heroic things with nothing but guts and skill - no superpowers, no invulnerability...just a normal human.

They keep making Superman so small. Why can't we have Superman battling Brainiac or fighting to save the universe from General Zod instead of Lex's petty schemes. Oh, I forgot...they're doing that in Smallville.

Yeah...I think I'll stick to Smallville...

You probably should, too...

Som ett mångårigt fan av Stålmannen från serierna, genom 1950-talsserien, de två första av Chris Reeves-filmerna och Lois & Clark, och slutligen Smallville, hoppades jag *verkligen* på något smart med "Superman Returns". Istället fick vi Lex Luthor att göra *ett nytt * försök till fastighetskonvertering, en annan Superman-beaten-up-stund-wearing-kryptonit sekvens, och inre inkonsekvenser: han kunde inte hindra sig själv att falla ner i havet när han fastnade med 6" av kryptonit, men när Lois bryter av 3" av det, *lämna resten inbäddat i honom *, kan han lyfta *en kontinent* ut i rymden? Den enda hjälten i historien var Lois partner. Han gjorde allt möjligt för att rädda liv. Heroiska saker med bara mod och skicklighet. Inga superkrafter, ingen osårbarhet. Bara en normal människa. De gör Stålmannen så liten. Varför kan vi inte ha Stålmannen som slåss mot Brainiac eller slåss för att rädda universum från General Zod istället för Lex småaktiga planer. Jag glömde att de gör det i Smallville. Ja... jag tror att jag håller mig till Smallville... du borde nog också... är den här recensionen positiv eller negativ? ALTERNATIV: - negativ - positiv
