Superman Returns was a huge let down for me. Lex is getting old and Superman needs a SERIOUS VILLAIN, someone who is really capable of challenging him. The use of Kryptonite by LEX is boring as SIN and reeks of desperation. Was that the best Singer could do for Superman Returns? And don't get me started on the DRAWN OUT love affair between between Lois and Clark/Superman. What really pissed me off is that Singer ditched the 3rd XMEN movie (which in turn ruined what should have been a good finale) to rewrite Superman Returns and then direct the failure. Aintitcool has some info on the upcoming Superman Returns sequel. Will Singer stick to this promise?

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. So, Bryan Singer's sequel to SUPERMAN RETURNS is moving forward. That'll be good news for a lot of people and bad news for others. I know the fanbase is divided on Singer's take on SUPERMAN RETURNS. I personally liked the movie, flaws and all. I think it was too closely married to Richard Donner's universe. I wish Singer had felt free enough to make a Superman movie that didn't fall plot point to plot point in line with the 1978 film. I want to see Lex really be an evil bastard, not someone who surrounds himself with idiots and wants more beachfront property.
At Comic-Con last year Singer promised his sequel to RETURNS would be more WRATH OF KHAN, something really big on the tension and action. I think that's smart. We all know Superman loves Lois. It's great, but I'm ready to see Superman really be put to the test.
