With all due respect, John, it got a thumbs down from me.
I was waiting to see this movie for years, and then it came out and left me with a bad taste in my mouth. Why has Superman become such a mute? He hardly ever talks through the whole film. And Kevin Spacey's version of Lex Luthor was pointless and humorless. A big disappointment there. Lois Lane was pretty empty too.
I'm surprised at all this, because Brian Singer is such a great filmmaker, BUT he did pledge to make a much better film next time.
