After watching this, I know why the movie hasn't really stuck with me from last viewing.
IMO, Smallville is soooo much better. OK, it's a TV show, so everything is more fleshed out, but it just didn't work that well fro me.

My main thing is Lex. He is simply a diabolic devil. There is no reason for what he does except that he can. Why the hell is he hiding anyways and why would be have the two stupidest people working for him. And how in ghell could he know about the Kryptonite. ack.

I dunno. MR and TW are so much better than this. More interesting. Same goes for the Kents. and I'm not only talking acting here. Maybe it's just not my generation but it's the whole look of the film. I just couldn't identify that much.
