I liked the movie too. I actually liked him in the beard...maybe my motivations as a male were different <g>. I liked the flashbacks to his childhood best, and I liked Amy Adams as Lois. How he'll be as Clark Kent in the Daily Planet I'll reserve judgment. I liked Perry White being played by Lawrence Fishburn.
I *loved* the fact that they used the stuff I'd written about in my story "Control." (Not that they'd read my story, but still...)
