That line alone made me want to see this movie after seeing the trailer. I was worried about Spacey being Luthor at first, but he truly took it home in that movie and I think hackman's performances sucks horribly in comparison.
I HATED the way Donner portrayed Luthor, with the plad shirts and wearing that rug on his head, and acting like some sort of saturday morning cartoon villain when he is SUPPOSED to be a ruthless, brilliant, powerful arch nemesis type villain.
"Superman Returns" was a good film, it was a well directed film, it just would have been nicer to see something new instead of well.....a remake which is almost what this movie basically was, it was supposed to be a sequel but everything played off like remake.
My biggest complaint though stems from 2 problems: 1. Lois Lane's actress Kate Bosworth did a decent job as Lois, but the fact she's supposed to be a well aged mom and someone who's been around a while doesn't fit in with someone as young as Bosworth is.
And 2. I REALLY was upset Luthor and Superman didn't have any scenes together aside from the finale. I would have liked to see those two interact more and it bummed me out because I always loved Spacey's Luthor and I would have liked to see how he handled Superman more often face to face.
