I thought the whole real estate scheme story was too stupid.

Yeah that was weak. At least Gene Hackman's character wanted to knock California off and increase his land value

I also don't think Superman should be so toned down that we have him getting his ass kicked all the time like they have in Justice League. Superman's powers are really limitless.

After Crises on Infinite Earths back in 1986, he got a massive power-down. In the recent Infinite Crises mini-series, a pre-Crises Superboy from an alternate reality basically went around mass slaughtering super-heroes, moved a planet, beat the Golden Age Superman (also from an alternate reality) to death, and brought back Robin II (Jason Todd) from the dead by beating off on a wall. Pretty much unstoppable, they had to get him to expend all of his energy while fighting under the light of a red son to keep him from recharging himself.

The above is completely irrelevant to the discussion, but I just thought I'd throw that out there for the truely bored.

Jesus christ :Q Dude, put the comic book down and head towards the sunlight :shocked:

I liked the movie

I think it's going to pick up like the Spiderman series picked up. The first Spiderman movie did not have much action. It was mostly plot, dialogue, and background. That's what this Superman movie was.

The second spiderman movie was (and the third spiderman will be) a lot more action-packed. I liked the second movie better than the first. I believe the next Superman will work the same way, there will be more action. The X-Men trilogy worked the same way, I enjoyed the second and third movies much more than the first because they fulfilled my desire to see superhumans duking it out.

I want superman to have an incredible battle in the next movie.

I agree with Shadowknight, the problem was not stopping the plane, but rather stopping the plane while keeping it reasonably intact and keeping everyone inside from winding up as a thick red paste coating the interior.

THIS pretty much sums up my reaction.

My major problem with the airplane scene was the leverage issue. OK so he stops the plane and is holding it up at a large angle in the air, above the ground in the stadium. I don't care how strong you are, without proper leverage to lower the entire plane down slowly it will either just crash down or rip in half. Him lowering the entire fuselage section down by the nose is complete & utter BS and really bugged me. Superman or not, gravity still applies.

It looked like he dropped it rather hard to me.

Dang, I already explained this to dxkj...

Superman's bioelectric field is subconsciously extended to reinforce the structural integrity of things he lifts. If that didn't happen, anytime he lifted heavy objects they would just collapse at the lift points. Normally, the plane he was lifting would have broken into pieces as he was lowering it from a vertical position to a horizontal position on the ball field. The same principal applies to the crystal formation. The bioelectric field didn't encompass the entire formation, but it allowed the weight to be spread out enough so that it didn't just break apart.

His bioelectric field affects how Earths physical forces effect objects he's lifting.
