You know, I give this movie a thumbs up, with conditions. I am viewing my opinion of the movie after Ryan informed me that it seemed as if Lex Luthor gave Superman a Kryptonite shard in the ass.It made me rethink my opinion of how Lex served his prison time.
Okay, we'll get to the conditions in a second...first the good stuff.
The special effects were great, as they should be. The whole "listening from space" thing was a pretty cool idea. Brandon Routh did a nice job in the role. Very Reeve-esque as Clark Kent. Huge props to Kevin Spacey who ushers in a great performance, as usual.
CONDITIONS
1.) You are ok with real estate being the motivator in killing millions.
2.) You are also ok with the rationale that you will get away with the scheme because people will buy the property.
3.) You are also ok that the property itsself really sucks.
4.) Lois Lane had Mr. Morality's baby. Superman having a child, and not being married to the mother, kind of takes away from the whole schtick, doesn't it? Ryan also mentioned that a superbaby kick while in the womb could be potentially disastrous. I agree to a point. Superman's powers come from the sun, so maybe the baby has to "charge up"? Regardless, I don't want to get into the "Super-semen" debate and what kind of damage that could cause, people. That's just sick and wrong, so stop thinking about it.
5.) Superman's exposure to kryptonite sure seems a little inconsistent. He has an assload of kryptonite inside of him. He should be dead. Period.
All in all, I liked it. As with any movie about dudes flying around in tights, you need to suspend reality a bit.

From Mallrats:
Brodie Bruce:
Lois could never have Superman's baby. Do you think her fallopian tubes could handle the sperm? I guarantee he blows a load like a shotgun right through her back. What about her womb? Do you think it's strong enough to carry his child?
T.S. Quint:
Sure, why not?
Brodie Bruce:
He's an alien for Christ sake! His kryptonian biological makeup is enhanced by Earth's yellow sun. If Lois gets a tan, the kid could kick right through her stomach. Only someone like Wonder Woman has a strong enough uterus to carry his kid. The only way he could bang regular chicks is with a kryptonite condom . . . that would kill them.

I hear this movie was really cool on the IMAX screen. besides that I could care less.
I wanted to leave this for steve though, as I think some people that are emailing him are retards and have no idea what they are talking about when it comes to nebraska football. Well here is some info I found on Rivals.com
Thoughts from a current Husker... Reply
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had the opportunity to talk to a good friend who happens to be a current veteran Husker player. I laughed as I told him I had more questions than he would have time to answer, and thought I would share some of his insight.
In 15 years, I will be surprised if knowledgeable fans cannot look back at this coaching staff that has been assembled and think how remarkable it was to have so much talent on one staff. Interestingly, the only coach that my friend had never had a one-on-one conversation with is coach Blake, but certainly complemented the relationship that he has built with his players (D-Lineman) and his sense of humor. He raved about Callahan's football prowess, and said he is an offensive genius. Equally impressive is his willingness to talk about anything and everything one-on-one in his office. The time that he puts in shows how much he cares about the guys and how comfortable the players are because of it (my friend mentioned several times in which he approached coach Callahan in his office with a suggestion for the playbook, whether it was a modification to an existing play or something totally new. He said Callahan always listens, sometimes finds suggestions intriguing, but is also quick to say "that will never work and here is why" - basically saying no you idiot in a fun tone, which coach is able to do without being offensive because of the relationship that he has established with his players. Says Cosgrove is his favorite football coach that he has ever had, is fun to be around outside of practice because he is outgoing and funny, but is intense and quick to let you know when you mess up and get it corrected. Since Watson has not been there long, he does not know him well, but said he seems like a great guy. Didn't have much to say about coach E, Gilmore, or Wagner, but likes all. Says Busch is one of his favorites, and clearly takes an interest in his players - he called my friend over a holiday just to wish him a happy holiday. Jordan can act like just one of the players at times, is a lot of fun, but maintains a player/coach relationship during practice and has great experience to be a good teacher. Says Norvell is great, has such a passion for football, e.g., he "wakes up thinking about football and falls asleep thinking football." I am not sure if I am forgetting one...
Had mostly positive things to say about Kennedy, "mostly" only because he says he is positive that no other program in the nation is conditioning and working as hard as Nebraska. He says he and his teammates talk to their buddies who play for different teams and says no one is doing anything remotely comparable to what Kennedy has them doing. Says it is no coincidence that the harder workers on the team like dk a lot more than the slackers, lol.
I asked about nearly every position as well, which may just confirm much of what Mods and insiders have already reported. He says Carriker has the biggest arms that he has ever seen in person. Suh is a beast and in his opinion has the most NFL potential of anyone on the d-line, but would not say he expects him to beat Ola for the job, which is quite encouraging if you infer what I did. Says Barry Turner has phenom god given talent and would not be surprised if he set a new single season sack record. Kenny Wilson looks great in drills, and interestingly enough, 100m times have been tracked by the nutritionist (I think that is what he said) going back as far as Ahman Green and Crouch, and said Wilson's time is the best. Said that he never new Herian was so fast either, as he had 4.5 or 4.6 forty times, but clearly had more impressive results in 100m from the list that was compiled. He said Herian may not ever be quite the same, but one never knows, and believes he may be NFL worthy nonetheless. Says Taylor has the respect of the team, and when he talks in the huddle, no one says a word, and everyone listens. I asked if any players were complete jerks and difficult to get along with, and he said the only ones he would have named are no longer on the team...coincidence or are these coaches really not interested in the headcases? I am always eager for football season and am even more now, as he confirmed my belief that the team is carrying an attitude of, "We can beat anyone on any given day."
Ryan, I find the image of a landscaping team working to no avail to be amusing. What about putting in a freeway system? Water? Lex may know how to swindle some old chick outta her cash, but he lacks a little on the follow-through.
sph: Super reference! And to others, comments about Super-seed blasting out of Lois' back are completely out of line.
selmer: AWESOME read. Our coaching staff will see the fruits of their labors this season. I think we lose 2, no more than 3 games.
The O-line gets my biggest support, as they will decide our entire year.
Superman would kick Green Lantern's ass.
Husker1911, or dumbass, as you are better known...
You do realize these aren't REAL people, right? Odd that a 90 year old man is still stalking me. Obsession noted. Why don't you run back and get your ass owned by Hoss some more for calling people trolls.
Have a great day! And remember, Superman and Green Lantern aren't real! I'm sure in the world you live in, you may wish they were, but it's time to grow up, gramps.
Ryan, I have heard about the pictures, man. You may want to consult an attorney. :)
