My wife picked up the original Superman in a bargain bin right after we saw the 2006 version, and we watched it the following weekend. My god has that NOT aged well.
I guess we disagree. I found the first half-hour (with Brando and then the stuff with the Kents) especially nice. And Margot Kidder rules, especially compared to Kate Bosworth.
After I saw your post I figured you must have watched the first part, (which still I liked also) but missed all the cheesy disaster special effects. Considering this was a year after
Star Wars, they should have been a lot better. The whole Lex Luthor plot, and in particular the ridiculously contrived peril that Lois & Jimmy get into, are just silly. Even my 6 year old was comenting on it. And don't get me started on Otis. For me the best part after Clark reaches adulthood was spotting the John Ratzenberger cameo. And Chris Reeves was great, take nothing away from him.
