The plot sucked as well, Captain America pretending to be sick to steal some guy's car and Red Skull being "sympathetic" are not in character
And myself and others think your thread is biased towards DC, what's your point?
I don't buy that principal for several different reasons, one DC has released crappy movies like Catwomn and Batman and robin and besides Iron Man, the studios have control over the Marvel movies, not Marvel themselves.
I just don't see Catwoman shouldn't be considered. That seems cherry picking, so when you said
It would help if your superhero movie had some good action scenes, the crow didn't have a super villain, but it had better action then Superman Returns.
The climax to Superman Returns was him lifting an island, that is so anti climatic.
I don't see how that doesn't make that criticism invalid.
And he would become the most hated person in the world and people would pretend to land on the ilsnad just to kill him, good plan.
But we didn't see the weapons, that line about them was a waste. Movies should show these things, not just talk about them. What a waste!
You know what would have been a better a story, Lex actually making these weapons and using them to take over the world, that would have been far more interesting then this island thing.
I hated the character because he was annoying instead of terrifyingly evil, its not Lex Luthor, its bad used car salesman, there is no Machiavellian cunning in this character and he has no personality beyond being generic evil. If superman had bothered to lock up the Fortress before leaving Lex would been screwed, all he did was steal from someone else, he didn't create his own tech or his own company or anything. He's about as deep as Dick Dastardly, Post crisis Lex is far more interesting then movie Lex. I never felt like he was a genius, he just come off as an idiot who got lucky.
The character was so poorly that the performance didn't work for me.
That's just one problem but it is a big one, if the film has nothing original to say, which this didn't, what worth does it have.
Also a crappy Lex luthor and a superman who is a stalker and a dead beat dad are also reasons why that movie sucks.
In the comics he does that, because a sense a balance is related to other senses:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equilibrioception plus he does that in the comcis.
That tub thing still made no sense, why would Angela allow herself to be put in that type of situation at all.
From the respective of characters in the movie who don't have the same knowledge as the audience, he would seem unstable.
The action is better then Superman returns, the heroes are more likable and the villains are more fleshed out.
Except for the lead.
Why do you have a degree in film or something.
Roger Ebert liked Daredevil better then superman Returns and Constantine, does he know nothing about film as well.
So did Ebert and I trust his opinion more then your's.
