Quotes:

[first lines]
Lex Luthor:Just look at him. So sleek. So powerful. So... beautiful, like some great golden god made flesh. Of course, any sensible god would demand absolute obedience in return for his favor. But, no, our Man of Steel protects us, with no strings attached. The people? Hmph. They practically worship him anyway. Enjoy your reign while you may, Superman. For surely as night follows day, there comes a time when even gods must die.

Movie Connections:

References The Mechanical Monsters (1941)

superman punches a lot

OK this is superman with a little depth, and I guess there are some people who are just into superman, but if you are not then this movie is mostly about superman trying to defeat invulnerable monsters and villains by punching them even harder.

Superman is boring he is a linear hero, when becomes weaker he just becomes more brave rather than find a smart way to solve a problem. So mostly watching superman fight and fight and fight some more. I guess they needed something to fill in for the very thing plot.

Superman punches a lot, which is cool if that floats your boat but this movie is why the superman franchise is failing.
