Now I personally ADORE this movie. I've seen it twice, and I still want to see it again, possibly in 3D.
Bearing in mind that I am soon to become a poor student. I'm saving everything I can. Yet I'm still prepared to pay another £5 to see it AGAIN.
BUT IT'S JUST SO FANTASTIC.
1. The Music. All other geeks I know went crazy during the opening credits.
2. Lex Luthor. Now THERE'S an evil genius, THAT'S HOW IT'S DONE, PEOPLE!!! Except for his pretty crummy plan. Oh dear.
3. Brandon Routh utterly surprising me by making me loff him.
4. And being really quite pretty. Heh.
5. The fact it made Lex's evil plan seem like the subplot against Clark and Lois - how many other superhero films do that??
6. Clark and Lois. I COULD STAND THE ROMANCE!
7. Moments veering between homages and Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V to the original - the final shot, Superman's comment on the relative safety of flying, playing 'Can you read my mind?' while he takes her flying.... WAAAAAH [/geekfreakout]
8. Lex Luthor and his EVILNESS. Did I already mention that?
9. BULLETPROOF EYES!!!!!!
10. FLADDAWIBBA THEY BEAT UP SUPERMAN.
11. Finally, how tastefully they handled THAT revelation. If I'd heard it before, I would have probably gotten really mad. But it worked...
12. Not just homages to the original movie, but to the original COMIC. When Superman lifts the car, it's basically the exact same image as was on the front of the first ever Superman comic. And also the mention of Gotham City. GEEKSQUEE!
So, what did everyone else think?
