when they do it, i would like them to limit the love affair with Lois...flipping boring part of Superman. God amongst mortals is the point that i would agree with. i have faith that this one will be watchable.

Lets get something straight...

Superman 2 is one of, if not the best superhero movie ever made. It gave us the first ever true clash of super powered beings. The problem is that the director Richard Donner, who did Superman 1 as well, was replaced about 3/4 of the way through filming Superman 2. The producers, the Salkinds, brought in Richard Lester to finish it because Donner wanted a more serious movie, and they wanted to turn it into a slapstick comedy. That is where the saran wrap "S" insignia came from, and the ice cream hitting the guy in the face, and basically any other cheesy moment in the entire film.

For Superman 3 they filmed the entire thing with Lester and did it their way, and we all know how that turned out.

Hollywood has completely lost it with this constantly rebooting two year old franchises.

Sometimes they have to put a movie out just to hang onto the rights. Many of them have a requirement to keep the franchise active or lose it.

Then make a sequel.

Making the same movie over and over is almost as stupid as the people who go and see every one.

I agree with Yoss. 1 bad movie does not mean a reboot is necessary. Learn from your mistakes with the crappy movie, then fix them and continue on to the new material. And get some actual comic book writers in to pen them, ones that understand the source material or perhaps wrote it in the first place.

Gotta watch the Richard Donner release of Superman 2.

It was awesome.

It cuts out a lot of the cheese, especially the plastic S and Non's baby-ish-ness.

While I do agree with you that I'd prefer to see some new adventures, there is something to be said about the same timeless story being told throughout the ages, each storyteller with their own unique versions and twists.

I hear they are down to 2 plots.

plot 1: Nobody has any kryptonite. Superman wins.

plot 2: Somebody has some kryptonite. Superman loses. (until later when he gets saved, and everybody forgets about the kryptonite.)
