I really like Superman Returns (8/10) but I wanted to list some of the things that could have been changed to have made this film better.
Lack of action - this is the main thing for me I had wanted to see Superman throw down with someone especially with modern FX
Superman's lack of dialogue - Superman didnt have enough dialogue for me, more would have been a plus
The Kid - just no, Lois having a boyfriend would have been enough
Love triangle - the triangle should be Clark, Lois and Superman, now the whole boyfriend thing doesn't bother me that much but I prefer the triangle to be Clark, Lois and Superman, maybe they could have had a plot like in Up Up and Away where Clark's lost his powers and maybe whilst he's not Superman he gets closer to Lois as Clark Kent but when he gets his powers back he has to pull away abit more. Infact you could have had an uplifting end where he reveals to Lois that he is Superman.
Lex's Motives (knocking off old ladies and the Land scheme) - Come on something new would have been good other than a land scheme again, plus if its Superman coming back to a changed world why not come back to have Lex be a hero in Metropolis, been the mega business man he was in John Byrne's MOS would have been alot better than Lex the old lady swindler which was just gross
Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane - I just don't like her, she's not very likeable and its not just the way she's written. Lois should have been written better though she comes across as an unlikeable whiney b*tch. Rachael McAdams would have been my choice to play Lois.
Perry White should shout more - Perry should have shouted more, nuff said really
Brightness of the film and costume - the film should have been brighter especially when Superman returned, its not Batman. Also the costume should have been brighter, the S should have been larger and it should have been designed better to show off Brandon's physique.
Superstalking - just no no, I hate that Singer cut out a great subplot of Lex and Stanford sending Superman to Krypton and leave something like this in
The big payoff - two moments of this, Superman should have done something to the guy that shot him in the eye, I think he should have eye lasered the gun so it explodes, so the guy runs to attack him and Superman flicks him (to knock him out) and also the end Superman should have been able to fight off those thugs maybe the scene could have gone like this: Superman lands on the rock but maybe the Kryptonite is blocked by a lair of Crystal so when he goes to confront Lex, his goons try to attack Superman and he fights them off easily, he grabs ahold of Lex and Lex punches him with Kryptonite in his hand then Superman hits Lex back and hurts him but he is weakened and Lex kicks away a lair of crystal to reveal the Kryptonite underneath and the thugs also do this so Superman is surrounded by it then have the thugs and Lex nearly kill Superman.
the end of the film - the whole he is dead thing really dragged the film on maybe he could have landed back on earth and been in pain which could proceed in Lex and him having another fight maybe like the one in Superman Up Up and Away when Superman's powers have temporarily gone
Now it might seem from that, that I don't like this film, I do but it just could have been better. I would have loved it if he'd have realised more of what the general Superman audience wanted than retreading too much on Donner's classic. I like the vague sequel idea, I just think he remade too much of what was already perfected in Superman the Movie. Just a shame that this happened cause I think with some of the fixes to the film it would have been more of a hit.
