What a letdown

OK, I admit it. I bought the hype and thought that Superman Returns was going to be a decent flick. That it would exorcise earlier crap I sat through this summer and really deliver quality entertainment. The CGI was excellent, and Brandon Routh is excellent as Superman. Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor, eh.....
What really blew was the script. It was like throwing a wet blanket on a can't miss idea. Brian Singer really has the chops to be a great director, but if this was his story idea for Superman, then he should be severely reprimanded because the movie came flying off the tracks at the big "twist" in the plot. When I go to movies like this I want escapism, not some freakin' soap opera with daddy issues up the wazoo. Man this movie sucked.
