NO!!!!
I was just watching and appreciating his work in Superman and Superman II this past week!!
The man knew how to write. He will be missed.

Not a big fan of his Bond work (too jokey for my taste), liked what he did with Superman. Never met the guy, but he really came across as likable and enthusiastic about movies in all the interviews I ever saw.

Re: R.I.P. Tom Mankiewicz
I was wondering how he was related to other Mankiewiczs in Hollywood:
He was the son of director Joseph Mankiewicz (All About Eve) and nephew of Herman Mankiewicz (Citizen Kane). He was also the 1st cousin of the good Ben of At the Movies fame.

His work as "Creative Consultant" on the first two SUPERMAN movies contributed significantly towards their success. Rest in peace, Mr. Mankiewicz.

Great writer. I appreciated his work on the Superman films. If anyone of you haven't already done so, listen to his commentary tracks with Richard Donner on Superman 1 and Superman 2: The Richard Donner Cut. They are really great and very informative.
