I have to admit, it was impossible to dislike Lois Lane's fiancee. I liked how you could see him panicking whenever Superman came into the equation. It's gotta suck to be second fiddle, clinging to first place only because the lead fiddle is such a decent fella.
Only the piano guy was interesting, the others were just there. Impotent as he was, I liked Kevin Spacey's Lex Luthor. Course, I was something like 10 when I saw the older movies... *cough* Very energetic and forceful. And, for some reason, I liked his little "Kryyyyyp-tonite~!" when he was gloating over his smack down on Superman.
Over all, it was more interesting than I thought a Superman movie COULD be. Typically, I absolutely dislike Ye Olde Man of Steel, given that he's nigh-invincible (Silver Age, you say?) And his fashion sense is meh. And Krypton architecture is boring like whoa. ...Speaking of which, it's always bothered me... Why, oh why, did the fair citizens of Krypton not flee their planet? Why didn't Superman's dad build a space ship big enough for, say, his ENTIRE FAMILY instead of his one kid? Clearly, their super brains did not cover these eventualities. Get too wrapped up in contemplating the universe and you forget the little things... like food, survival.
