yes, just the reviews led me to expect something more. interesting what you say about spider-man (haven't seen those films) but there was a distinct point during the superman reboot where- having previously done stuff like orbiting the world for fun- the action suddenly came down to a much more mundane 'realistic' level- catching cars and throwing punches. i think more a formalistic thing, like the director realised that having an all-powerful cgi hero would mean an essentially boring film.
has anyone seen the older superman movies, i seem to remember one of those used more interesitng ways to get around this problem: the villain created synthetic kryptonite but his formula was slightly off, so rather than kill him it just made him really surly and disaffected (christopher reeve grew stubble and messy hair to convey this).
