Superman, Home-Wrecker
I just saw the new movie Superman Returns and I'm not sure but I might be missing the intended point. I kept seeing Superman as a symbol of men's insecurity. He's your wife or girlfriend's ex-boyfriend and you're pretty sure she's still in love with him. He's better looking, stronger and he won't stay away.Lex Luthor, on the other hand, is just like you and I. He's balding, has crap friends and just wants a bit of land to call his own without Superman coming around to mess it all up.
The movie forces me to ask the question: "why do we need Superman anyway?" We don't, he sucks.
Superman, home-wrecker.

I thought Lois was the one who lacked character.
Having SM's baby but deceiving another man into believing it was his. How low is that???

Good points, Hough.
I didn't even see the movie, because his curl looked a little suspicious. Plus, whatever happened to an actor actually having muscles? His shoulders were reminiscent of the padded shoulder jackets that chicks wore in the early 90s!
