Wow. never seen so much nagativity thrown at what I've considered good superhero films (excpet the classic Superman by Donner which does still stand pretty tall)

I for one loved Batman Begins- it sure as heck was better than the other 4 movies.

I do have serious reservations about Superman Returns but being an uber-Supes fan I'll see it.

The first X-Men had a decent script. The second one had a gimicky script that was workable, I just don't think Singer is in his element with the big action thing. He makes great small films, and he should stick with that.
BTW Superman: the Movie is as good as it gets. Donner and Reeve cannot be topped!
(Well, not so far, anyway.)

I'm just tired of film-makers who say," Make the fights like Matrix, do the Pyro vs. cops scene like Firestarter, have the X plane fly like Firefox," etc.
It's good enough that I own X-Men 2, but I really don't watch it very often.
And yes, Lex is the key to making Superman interesting, most other villians are there to be super-undone, yawn.

No one can ever top Gene "The Man" Hackman as Lex Luthor!

He certainly had a unique take on the character.
He's great in any movie.
