Manthing didn't seem to resemble the one in the comic. Then again neither did Spiderman (no web shooters Or Gwen Stacy(first movie)), Xmen (the Iceman was a kid and Rogue was a Teenager who seemed more like Kitty Pride.) Catwoman makes change from white to black on Batman tv show and again in the movie what's with that? FF Dr. Doom did not go up with them in the comic, and Alicia was white in the comic. If they want a black movie character how about the Black Panther, or Luke Cage? Then again the black Panther is Avengers equivelent to Wild Cat in JSA and is White.
worst: any and all tv movies and serials, superman III and IV, catwoman, elektra, fantastic four, and daredevil (the theatrical releases, the director's cuts kicked ass), howard the duck, the original 4 live action batman movies (the first two were good, they just weren't batman), the 90's punisher movie, hellboy, league of extraordinary gentlemen, swamp thing, etc.

Superman Returns is way better than III & IV & I found SR to be a very good movie. It was basically the set up for the next few movies.
I agree that is wasnt THAT bad. The acting was passable, i even though routh played a better christopher reeves than christopher reeves, because lets face it, he wasnt playing superman, he was playing chris reeves, most of his lines were even recylced from the previous superman movies.
However, the movie was nothing more than a remake of the original superman. A wasted story arc lead to dissapointment intesified with very little superman screen time. I think it was a good rehashing , but a poor advancment into the superman franchise, and the box office disspointment will probably hinder any future movie for the big blue boy scout.
