They overloaded on character development at the cost of plot and story line.

I'll take character over plot any day.

This is not the problem with the original Superman film.

Really?

Luthor's plan is to buy up land in Arizona and then blast it with nuclear bombs so he can sell it for a profit. You don't see plot holes there? I see holes big enough to pass Jupiter through unscathed.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you.

You said, "They overloaded on character development at the cost of plot and story line."

The complaint you're lodging is about plot/storyline. There's plenty of it in the movie regardless of whether or not it's full of holes.

I'm just saying that I prefer stories with strong characters and character development vs stories with poor character development and a stellar plot.

The problem with the movie isn't that they have too much character and not enough plot, or that they sacrificed one for the other.
