Do you know how much of a sissy I am?

Over the weekend I watched Superman Returns for the first time.
I was flipping through the channels and saw it was coming on and decided to see if it lived down to my expectations.

First of all, my low expectations made watching it highly, highly enjoyable! I really liked the movie, it's a really good follow up to the second and canon-shafts Superman 3 & 4, which I think we can all agree were, um, not up to par.

Anyway the reason I'm a sissy: You know the part where Superman picks up the crystal continent, hurls it into space and then falls to the Earth?
I cried.
Like the big baby I am.
I also cried when he sat beside Jason in the night and spoke to him like Jor-El did in the first movie.
*wibble*

And what was up with Lois?!?! Dude, you were okay, but where was the spunk?! The attitude?! The whole deal!?
Once again Lois falls victim to the writing of men who really don't know how to write women *sigh*.

The guy who played Clark/Superman had mighty big boots to fill and he did so very well.
Petty he overshadowed the whole movie, I mean other than Clark/Superman, everyone else was average or lower.

Also, Superman was really a whole lot more alien than in the other movies, or even comics! Which really suit with the story line of traveling in space for five years and such.
