It tries to parody itself and fails, and it totally ignores its roots, i.e. COMICS! Also, the stuff about computers is so bad, even for this sort of movie, that it makes you want to cry. The only thing resonably decent were the characters, and then only the ones that were invented long ago (Superman, Lois, Lana, Mr. White, et. al.). In other words, nothing that the Salkinds came up with was any good. Superman is, by the way, my least favorite comic book character, but even he deserved better than this. Also, language in comics is strictly G rated. Even the most barbaric comic characters emit no worse language than "flamin'" or "Christmas". There are no "damn", "J*sus Chr*st", or "Son of a Bitch"s in comics, so how come they're in the movie? They certainly don't add anything to it. -Glenn
