Additional Comments:
Brandon Routh does a good job of channelling Christopher Reeve, and I was more impressed with Kate Boswell and Parker Posey than I would have thought. Kate Boswell brings a vulnerability to Lois Lane that Margot Ridder completely missed, Margot coming straight out of the 70s. I thought I'd be offended with the story line of Jason, Lois' son, but in fact, it helpes the story along.
