I was kind of disappointed that certain parts of the plot were either changed or completely omitted which alluded to a certain spoiler. But then I found out that the book was set to be released before the movie was available in theaters, and therefore they didn't want to spoil the fans. I just didn't read it in the order that they probably intended--but it's a MOVIE first and foremost, so I wasn't about to read the book first. Lord of the Rings? Narnia? Yeah, I'll definitely read the books before I see the movies. But Superman? Star Trek? Anything like that? Definitely seeing the movie first. no reviews | add a review

That is basically the problem with this story, in the majoirty. For something that carries the title Superman Returns, it lives up to that for not quite the first third.
After that it is 'what Lois Lane thinks about Superman Returns, along with being married, having a kid, and no twanting to interview him'. This probably works better in book form than movie, where it is considerably more tedious, though.
The other problem is that it is almost the same story again, Clark goes to Metropolis, gets job, and Lex Luthor hatches crazed real estate devastation plot. In 20 years or so you'd think a different story would be achievable. Or at least adapt one of the goo dones already out there.
None of that is Wolfman's fault though, and he does a pretty fair job with pretty ordinary material.
Around a 3.25 I think.
