( Cut for mild spoilers )
One small problem, sort of, that I had though, was that, in the beginning especially, there were so many things taken directly from the old original superman cartoon, and I'm talking shot for shot here too, that I kept expecting Supes to show up and save the day. It was kind of disappointing knowing that he wasn't. Thinking about it though, I am left with the inescapable conclusion that they absolutely positively have to make a Superman movie just like this one. There's something so very fitting about that time in regards to Superman, and at times, him living in more modern times can almost take away from it all. I love the whole future-as-viewed-by-the-30's bit. So very cool.
