I managed to watch about twenty minutes of the last Superman film. I hated it. It was quite the piece of filmatic shit. At the time, I suggested the executives in charge of that dung-heap have their genitals tied to a pole and twirled around a bit. I do recall reading some time later that many of those involved regretted the decisions to change the film's target demographic at the last minute. I guess it was a "successful" movie but diehard fans would have been disappointed.

I miss the Christoper Reeve versions of the Superman mythos. I haven't watched the Donner Cut of Superman II. I must put that flick on my library list.

So, does this make me hold out hope for this new incarnation? If the Dark Knight films are any indication, I will grasp at any straws I can that promise it will be good.
