OK, it's a good movie so it gets 7 out of 10. But it's dragged out far too long, and in my opinion, the key actors are too young to pull off their "perceived maturity". I mean, if Superman's been gone for the past 5 years, and we consider that it's a sequel to Superman II, how come he still looks like he's 18 years old, know what I mean? Bosworth herself is only 23 years old and she even looks younger than her age.
But there are some nice surprises and Kevin Spacey's performance, although short, is very good. I like the plot though, I just wish they had characters (as opposed to playing characters) to deliver it a little better. Clark for example, spends almost all his on screen time just driving the point that he acts like a dork. (Clark = Superman? nah!).
There's something missing about this movie - but I guess I let my love for the hero and my knowledge of the past superman movies/stories fill in the gaps. My hopes were up too high maybe. The special effects are great but that goes without saying for any Hollywood movie during the past decade - bigger and better to try to get you to buy that popcorn. Expect a good movie, and that's what you'll get - good.
