I am pumped for this movie. Consider this: Singer has decided to do a sequel to Superman II, thereby negating any expectation of an amazing new origin story. The problem with so many new superhero films is "getting it right." The 80s films (I and II anyway) already got it right, so basically Singer is not fixing what ain't broke.

To put it crudely, he's lowered our expectations. That way it'll be easy to smash them out of the park if A) Spacey is spot on, B) Routh treads a fine line between consistency with Reeve's interpretation and caricature and C) the FX are great. How can he screw it up?
