    The Christopher Reeves Superman movies are super nostalgic for me. Even when they get so brain-numbingly bad, I can’t help but enjoy them because they just embody what I loved about Superman as a kid. I do have a soft spot for Returns, though I’m glad that Brandon Routh was given more credit in the CW for what that’s worth.
    And MOS is definitely a movie.

    Superman Returns suffers from the same drawbacks as Ang Lee's Hulk 2003 movie. They're both movies that are more about introspection and character analysis than action and big superhero adventures.
    While interesting premises, neither the audience nor the writers were ready for it in the 2000's. Making the movies generally disliked, even though despite being extremely slow paced they have redeeming qualities to it.
    Many years later it seems like studios and audiences finally embrace those type of films. Thematically both Logan and The Batman are very similar to Returns and Hulk, and they managed to be loved by the public because the writers knew how to write a compelling slow paced introspective story and mix it up with good comic book action.

      I think Superman Returns suffers from the usual problem of trying to make Superman interesting by making him more flawed. Rather than giving him harder moral dilemmas to solve.

      And it really wouldn't have been that hard for Clark to save him, the dog and not get caught being super. Either Snyder has no imagination or he really just likes contrived plots. If Snyder wanted so badly to set Man of Steel apart from the Reeve movies, he could have started with not killing Jonathan. That's the funny thing to me, with all the talk about trying to separate the movie from what came before, he still used so many ideas and tropes that originated in the Reeve movies(wise, sage-like hologram Jor-El sending Clark on a mission to be the world's savior being one).

    Superman Returns is personal favorite movie of all-time, so I'm very pleased you enjoyed it.
    One thing is that... SR isn't a sequel... it's set in an entirely different universe than Reeve's.

    • @StareachValcin

      Superman Returns clearly takes place in the Reeve's Superman universe. There are clear references to Superman 2, including Lex Luthor knowing the location of Superman's fortress, and the use of Marlo Brandon's Jor-el, even though he passed away at this point.

    Richard Donner didn't intend for Zod and the others to die--there's some TV versions that exist that show Lex, Zod, Ursa and Non all get arrested by Arctic Police in the background.
    I believe Donner would have put it into his own cut, but I don't think he managed to film their intended defeat, so he used the cut that was used in the theatrical Lester version where Superman and Lois *murder* them.
    As you said, the two movies were intended to be one film, so Superman turning back time was only supposed to happen once--but him doing it twice in the Donner cut was the only way it could make sense anymore.

    Man of steel is really underrated, I think it's perfect, people just don't like because it's not "comic accurate" like it's a origin story the character still doesn't know who he is yet. Either they don't like it because they are used to Christopher reeve Superman, or because at that time marvel and the dark knight trilogy was really popular.

      If Superman doesn’t act like Superman from the comics that’s a problem because Superman from the comics is Superman.
      If the lord of the rings movies just changed a bunch of shit for no reason nobody would like them as much as they do because they wouldn’t be accurate to the source material

      I think making it less about Richard Pryor would have helped(still a main character but not to the point of overshadowing Superman). The concept itself wasn't bad, in a sense, the villain was a prototype for businessman Lex. And the evil Superman subplot bears similarities to a red kryptonite storyline from the silver age(where Superman and Clark are split into two with Clark being good and powerless and Superman being evil and powerful and declares himself king).
