SUPERMAN RETURNS - I have misgivings

[flippyshark]

I just watched the full trailer for SUPERMAN RETURNS, and while I am highly likely to go see it, there is something in the trailer that makes me worry, a lot. For spoiler-safety purposes, see below, but I won't be giving away anything that isn't in the trailer.

Spoiler:

Lois Lane has a little boy! Now, this movie is supposed to take place after the Christopher Reeve Superman II, which means this could be (I almost choke saying this) Superman's kid. I am really frightened that somehow, at the end of this movie, cute little boy will show himself to be Superboy! I will not enjoy that.

Also, while I'm at it, there is a scene in the trailer in which Kevin Spacey, as Lex Luthor, prompts Lois Lane to say something and then interrupts her by shouting WROOONG! really loud in her face. I hate this moment. I guess it's supposed to be a bit of over-the-top villainy, but it is obnoxious asshole behaviour. It's the sort of thing I expect frat-boy types to do when they descend here at WDW en masse during Spring Break. I want my movie villains to be charming, or funny, or dramatically compelling. But I don't want them to remind me of the sort of mundane brutes that yell in my face at work. It seems like a bad choice to me. Maybe it will play better in context.

With those misgivings out of the way, I do hope it will be a terrific movie, and will give me the same kind of old-fashioned lift that the first film did back in '77.

(P.S. - To any of you here who were or are proud members of a college fraternity, I wasn't talking about you.)
