Parker Posey is an indie goddess but Superman ain't my thing.
I saw Syriana on dvd this weekend.
Bleak complicated film about contemporary times.

Like Spider-Man, this movie had all of the ingredients that should have made it a winner for me, but I was just bored.
It was great that Singer went to the trouble to tie it in visually and musically with the originals, right down to the style of the opening credits. Unfortunately, this hampers the film, because Routh is no Reeve, and Spacey is no Hackman. They're just robotic copies of them.
Originally I felt the comic geeks were overreacting, but after seeing the film I agree: Superman would never abandon Earth, especially for such a selfish reason. The tragic events of this movie are all his fault. Even worse, he x-ray stalks Lois and climbs into childrens' bedrooms late at night. (I'm not serious about the latter, but I am about the former. Isn't a right to privacy part of "the American way?")
There were just some downright dumb things in there, too. That ridiculous gatling gun, and the bit with the fax machine. And note to Bryan Singer: yes, we get it already, HE'S JESUS. No need to brain us over the head with it in such a ham-handed Wachowskian manner.
It did answer the question of what James Marsden was doing last year instead of X-Men 3. And unlike Cyclops, his character in this film was actually likeable.
Still, I want my eight bucks back.

Whoops, sorry. My frustration with the movie got in the way of common sense. Re-read it, and let me know if you agree after you see the movie.
