I agree with you completely about the originals being absolutely terrible. I watched S2 the other day and was laughing my arse off at how terrible it was. When I was a kid it was the greatest thing ever . This is not only the best Superman film ever made but the best origin story by far. Sure it had it's issues, editing being the biggest, but there's no denying they finally made a Superman that isn't cheesy and outdated. Seriously, if you are complaining that this movie wasn't good because it was too much of a departure from the previous films then please go re-watch them.

It feels blasphemous, especially for people of a certain age, to even suggest such a thing...but I have to be honest and say that I came to this conclusion after re-watching them again with my boys (10 and 6) this summer. I loved them as a kid, and assumed they would too. They did not, and I was left realizing that my fondness for them was based largely on my remembering self being for too kind. As it turns out after re-watching them, the only really solid thing about either of the first two was the casting of Reeve as Superman and John Williams tremendous score. Given how much else happens in both movies, that's not nearly enough.

Ran across this the other day...I found it funny.

Most people aren't complaining about it being a departure from the original movies. Most people, including myself, didn't like it because it's such a departure from the Superman character.

A good review by Mark Waid who wrote the Superman: Birthright series.

I might have to rewatch because I just saw it and wasn't impressed. Very little character development it seemed, or maybe that was just poor editing. Either way, I felt no emotion at all watching this. Disappointed really.
