I always wonder why this film sort of tanked when the trailers looked great. Now I know.
Basically, it's a solid film with good acting, it's just dull. Superman and the guy who could have been Batman were great and had a good chemistry as rivals. All the ladies were really good in their roles. The movie had a great look that perfectly captured the era. The action fit and was quick when it happened. Only one action scene was pretty ridiculous, yet still somewhat plausible.
It was all just so dull. I found myself wondering how these cool actors and characters could be trapped in a plot that was so boring.
Clearly this was an attempt to make a franchise. I hope they give it another shot with a different screenwriter.

It didn't look like a spy flick so much as an action one.

I watched it Saturday night. I remember two action scenes. I'm SURE there were more, but wow was this an unmemorable film. The characters were awesome though.

I saw a couple previews and they immediately killed any interest, and I'm a fan of the old TV show.
