And MoS was superior. If not for the simple fact that it was a real reboot and at least the characters were more credible. Has was the movie has a whole.
I also found it funny how people gave so much crap over MoS Superman kiling Zod, that was equally powered and willing to kill just to make a point. But when Christopher Reeve Superman killed a depowered Zod, and let both Non and Ursa die, no one complained about it. And in Superman 2 he had a choice, something MoS Superman didn't have.
Christopher Reeve Superman movies will remain classics, and at least the first two will forever have influenced Superman origins and even how he's sometimes depicted. But the change was overdue.
Superman needed a new look, a new atitude, and even bigger challenges. Be it physical, mental and moral.
Spiderman movies (Sam Raimi) also had their ups and downs, the third one being the worst. How they were able to screw up the black suit Spider-Man is still beyond me.
They were able to completely ruin Venon and the symbiot suit origin stories. That alone was bad, but ruin the suit... That was unforgivable. Then came Amazing Spider-Man and people started to flip out. Small in the first movie, and gigantic on the second.
Truth is, that change is hard and not everyone will be pleased, but from what I've seen, the more we oppose change the worst things get.
When Bryan Singer tried to create a sequel to Superman 2, we all saw the results. People not only weren't able to identify themselves with Superman, but also hated the story. Which was poor, there's no denying that. Even the performances were ridiculous and painful to watch.
So yeah. MoS had more than a few bumps on the road, but personally I loved it, besides its flaws. And I'm willing to give it the chance to improve.
Something that I find it hard to understand why Superman fans aren't willing to do.
Because one thing is certain, if the fans bail out now, there will only the another movie, another reboot, in many more years to come.
And seeing how Superman comics have also been going, by that time, maybe no one will be interested in character and it will be the end of Superman, for good.
