TL;DW
Not so much a bad film -- not that I consider it good, mind you -- but rather VERY disappointing.  I'm not even sure this was a Superman movie, as the character didn't behave like any version of Superman I know of.

Sorry this is so long, I really didn't feel like doing any major editing last night.  If anyone is interested in a more scripted, coherent video of my thoughts than me just rambling at the camera for a while, please let me know.

I know I missed a few things that irritated me.  While I did generally like the scenes with Costner, the tornado scene was just bad.  "Hey, Dad, you take mom to shelter, I'll get the dog -- I can get into the car it looking out of place, not have to worry about getting hurt, and it won't look bad."  Yes, you could say, "why is he letting his son get the dog", or even, "why go back to get the dog."  I *know* what they were going for, I just didn't think it was necessary, and just made his death -- WHICH CLARK COULD HAVE DAMN WELL SHOULD HAVE PREVENTED, regardless of his father's wishes -- pointless.
