Final movie of my Superman marathon! I decided to skip the theatrical version of this entirely, this is definitely superior.  While I do think un-aliving Superman in just the second movie of this fran...

This film is a litmus test. Saying anything remotely positive about it can bring out the worst in some people, and others will defend it so adamantly that they simply can’t let it go. Instead of getti...
