I'm one of these people who watched "Superman Returns" BEFORE becoming addicting to LnC, so as a member of that general mass, I'm with bakasi here. Any relationship to Superman II was totally invisible to me. Even subsiquently learning this hasn't made that movie any better or make any more sense. It was just plain horrible.
I do have a liking for the
airplane rescue scene in "Superman Returns", however. That was pretty cool. Plus, there's something about the John Williams music that really does it for me.
