I really believed this movie was incredibly good. Although some of the scenes are surreal and the actors seemed questionable or overly simplistic character traits, you quickly realize that the characters seem to make the comics come to life. The message is simple yet incredibly respectable. Superman was supposed to be unable to escape the kriptonyte, and lex Luther knew Superman’s weakness. Not only does he gain power from the sun, but from love and compassion from people. So he mass manipulated the entire population. He wasn’t supposed to heal within a night (as said by an expert—it should’ve taken days), but with the power of the sun and love from his wife.
Superman wanted to save his dog, and would put his life into literally any situation to save a life—just like the baby of the green alien. That’s when Lois lane saw that Clarke wasn’t lying.
