Superman Returns, a movie with great moments but overall lacking that extra something that makes a Summer blockbuster. Fans are divided on it, some love it, some hate it and then there's those like me who think it's simply OK.
I will always view Superman Returns as a missed opportunity. Now while Warner Bros were hoping for it to be successful enough to spawn sequels it wasn't. Now don't get me wrong the film was in no ways a failure, it made plenty of money and it was actually received quite well critically. But it failed to bring Superman back for a modern age and instead of a sequel we had to then wait several years before Superman was rebooted in Man of Steel. I don't even think Superman Returns had to be financially successful enough to spawn sequels but it did have to be a good movie. Personally I don't mind the idea of one off film set in the Donnerverse that caps it all off. Think it Superman Returns were actually a great movie that didn't succeed aswell as WBs wanted would it be better?
So let's say we have the ability to time travel and make some changes to the film. Wouldn't that be great? Now I'm dropping in some ground rules here. We must keep the ideas of Superman Returning and keeping it inline with the Donnerverse (so that means keeping things like the John Williams theme, the crystal Fortress etc) but Anything else is subject to change...
So establishing that what would you change about the movie and why? You can even just give a detailed plot description if you so wish.
