nogster said:start the movie over. forget about jason ever being supes kid. wipe that clean. make lex his real character, a diabolical bussiness man that has used kryptonian technology to boost his bussiness to be the major power in metropolis and in turn, made metropolis's economy boom. in supermans abscence he has charmed the people and finally achieved what he has always wanted. adoration of an almost royal kind over metropolis.
superman returns much to lex's disgust and he sets out through propaganda to turn the people against the man of steel then does the whole continent thing to frame supes [not make money from it lol] to prove to the world [metropolis] that they are better off without him.
this would actually explore the themes that SR was meant to. that supes returns to a world that has moved on without him. i dont know about u but i never got that feeling at all in SR.
all i got from SR is a days of our lives love triangle with a ridicuous luthor plot.
if i were only able to change the ending. i would take out that movie ruining scene for me when the doctors take out a remaining shard of kryptonite, that is a killer for me. as the film completley contradicts itself. take that out and i could handle the rest. [barely]. piano boy is annoying as well. lex's plot was too.....ahhhh i am going in circles again. urgghg this film was such a dissapointment.
Great post. You hit the nail with many of your points.
Lex as a businessman genius, not bonking old grannies for their cash.
The effects of Superman's absence and return really showcased - the emotional effects, the social effects, the physical effects.
And that piano boy is a real inconvenience for future movies. You can't just forget him, you can't really kill him off...
