I really don't understand how some in this thread think she's "old" or "ugly". She looks beautiful in those pics.

Hardly beautiful, but certainly sufficiently pleasing to the eye. "Old"?? Madness.

I wouldn't say she's "hot" in this pictures either, rather just very, very cute.

Beautiful and cute

Amy Adams and Ayelet Zurer need to swap roles, dammit!

Hubba hubba...she's hot. I really think she's gonna be a great Lois Lane.

Even without seeing the movie I think she will be the best Lois Lane...as far as looks go...

That's Lois? She's alright. I don't think she's hot though. I don't imagine Superman going for her. The Lois on Smallville, she was hot.

Edit: It could be these set pics aren't doing her any favors.

Lois doesn't have to be "hot". I don't know if Superman is that shallow.

Okay, my 2 Cents on Amy Adams as Lois:

Basically, I'm okay with it. She's a good actress, she's got the basic look (although I have to say, most Hollywood actresses could play Lois if it came down to looks).
Admittedly, I had several other actresses in mind for the role (Jennifer Carpenter, Summer Glau, even Winona Ryder, but then, I consider her for almost any female lead I think about).

I don't think Adams is particularly hot. She's cute, but not hot.

And I say that as a good thing, because I don't think Lois should be hot. Cute, yes. Feisty, of course. Attractive, sure. But not hot. She's Lois Lane, not Wonder Woman.

That's also the reason why I couldn't stand Erica Durance for SV seasons 4-7. She was presented as a hot babe, and that's not what I consider Lois to be. Luckily, they changed that from seasons 8-10 (or at least, toned it down).

Hot is in the eye of the beholder and it is subjective. What Hollywood considers Hot leaves me cold. I think women that are cute are hot to me.

Actually what most fanboys consider hot usually leaves me cold. They always seem to want one of these generic model types who looks like they stepped out of Maxim, who has a nice body and attractive face-- but nothing remotely original or distinctive about them whatsoever.

That may be the way women are drawn in comics these days, but on a movie screen I want someone who is interesting and has an actual personality.

-1. If we are talking about a down to earth movie I would say looks aren't important but i'm one of those "conditioned" people who expects a good looking chick for the Superhero whether or not said Superhero is shallow. He deserves hotness to match his coolness.

Hot's subjective. Witness folks complaining abut Margot Kidder, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Scarlett Johansson, Anne Hathaway...well just about any actress cast in a superhero movie.

Preach it.
