To be fair, post-Crisis Lex is a far more important and prominent side character to be featured. He doesn’t always have to be used as the main antagonist.
It’s crazy that for RETURNS the movie peaks 30 minutes in with that plane sequence and the film never has anything as exhilarating ever again.
That airplane save was an amazing sequence. Well done and it tells a great story. After that though the film seems to be become a slog.
I remember one of the things that was remarkable in SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD was just how funny Routh actually was. The guy had comedic chops that could have been well utilized as Superman, who’s supposed to have a pretty engaging personality. In SR he’s just written as too quiet and brooding.
Yeah the jet bit is great; I love that it shows one of Superman’s limitations, in that he might be really strong, but if you pick up something like a jet from such a small load point as one man’s hands, that’s too much pressure in one spot and the plane will break! Even if he’s strong enough to pick up a mountain, the mountain will fall apart.
I don’t think it helps that he’s supposed to be playing the Christopher Reeve interpretation - that’s an invitation for unnecessary comparisons off the bat.
That's because Returns was supposed to retcon Superman 3 & 4 as non-canon.
Superman 2 Mortal Clark sleeps with Lois
Superman 2 Donner Cut Superman sleeps with Lois.
Interesting. Reminded me of this 1989 commercial.
Brilliant.
Wow that is a hell of a strapline for a commercial. What were they thinking.
I didn't realise that, that's interesting.
Lester actually shot the bed scene though the Donner Cut moved said scene before Kal/Superman confronts Jor El and has his powers removed.
To be clear, Singer made the film without the Donner cut in mind. The Donner cut wasn’t actually assembled until after Singer had shot his film, and the Donner cut was just following the Mankiewicz script’s structure rather than trying to correlate with what Singer did. That’s why we see Lois wake up to Clark talking with Jor-El while wearing the top of his Superman suit.
Which reminds me, it’s a shame Donner didn’t shoot enough coverage of Lois wearing his shirt. He only got this one angle her watching Clark talking to Jor-El and then seeing the console explode. No doubt Donner would have shot more close ups if he weren’t fired.
