I didn't like Margot Kidder's look as Lois, but I think it's due to the time period. She may have looked really gorgeous to 1980s audiences.
As someone who grew up during the 1980s, I can safely say that no one I knew of thought Kidder was a knockout, though we all loved her for the great performance she gave as Lois.
Amy Adams is three years younger than me, so she's in my age group, and I think she's just gorgeous--I realize I am in the minority here, but I think she is beautiful.
However, the performance is only lacking in that her character is underwritten, which is a shame. There are a few throwaway lines about how tough she's supposed to be, and she has that one okay scene in Perry White's office, but I wiah that Adams' Lois had been better written. Despite all of this, I have grown to like her as Lois.
