Actually, I agree with you 100%. I hated this movie and almost walked out of it about 75% through but I didn't want to be rude. After watching movies like Batman Begins and Spiderman 2 and Hellboy, you have PROOF that comic book/superhero movies can be done the right way, and Superman Returns is the perfect example of how to do it the wrong way. Sure, the movie excelled as a moving comic book, but as a movie, it failed miserably. And yes, we're in the minority here, because everyone else seemed to like it. I just don't see how anyone can say this movie is good after Batman Begins or Spiderman 2. The movies are so astronomically different in terms of quality, production, acting, script, and emotion that saying Superman Returns is anything above "average" is pretty much going too far.

*EDIT*

PS: I don't know what happened to Singer. All I know is him not doing X-Men 3 ruined that movie, and now him doing Superman Returns has pretty much ruined any respect I had for him as a moviemaker, even after the incredibly awesome X-Men 2.

*EDIT EDIT**

Hey, it was better than Fantastic Four at least. Ha ha.
