After seeing this, I visited my local comic book store to search through some Golden and Silver Age Superman books, because I didn’t want to make too harsh a judgement. Many issues later, I am glad that current-continuity Superman has forsaken his rainbow powers, but nowhere did I find any mention of the new powers he apparently gained after visiting Krypton to start out this film: Super-Geography, Super-Stalking and Super-Homewrecking. Now, I am not a absolute continuity fanboy, but I do like my iconic characters to be iconic. Superman in this film is unwilling to accept what happened when he left the woman he loved to go on his walkabout vision quest. Move on Big Blue! Routh as Clark Kent bore an uncanny resemblance to the late Christopher Reeve in the same role; there were some exhilirating action sequences, and although the performances were good, the script was bad. Spacey was good, Luthor bad (it is unfortunate that one of the smartest men in the world, who fancies himself a world-conquering genius, is foiled by a ditzy woman). Too long, too creepy, and two diamonds…
