Actually, I liked Kate Bosworth's character--I just didn't see her as *Lois*.

My general feeling, though, is that Richard White is a great character for slashers, because he's a really great guy that can be hooked up with Lois when Clark and Lex inevitably get back together. (At least for those of us who can tolerate seriously smushed canons, since obviously the Clark and Lex of Superman Returns are nothing like SV's).
