It's complete shit except for the surprisingly good Spacey and Posey performances.  Routh was miscast, Bosworth was incredibly miscast, the plot ranged from dumb to idiotic, and the movie couldn't even seem to square whether is was a sequel or not.  Don't even get me started on the Superbrat or the incredibly

I can't think of a worse possible choice to direct Superman than Snyder.  What Donner got, and no one else ever did, is that Clark Kent is the real character, and Superman is the alter-ego (Tarantino's idiotic deconstruction in Kill Bill 2 notwithstanding).  If a Superman movie doesn't find a way for Clark Kent to be

Hilary Swank is a very talented actress who's just not beautiful enough to pull in major roles in studio films, especially ones with big international releases.  Sad but true.
