I think the first one is the best, but this is a worthy and hugely enjoyable sequel.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.

Ditto! And that goes for both versions
Donner
and
Lester
.
I'll let you know when I come-up with a new signature,
.

Only millenials like Man of Steel. It was a video game.
It had no heart. No chemistry between the leads.
The destruction was numbing, ineffective.
No emotion felt by the audience.
Kidder and Reeves are beloved as their characters.

The original Superman is the worst of them all. Superman II was only the good one by default of how bad Superman I, III, VI and Returns were. Man of Steel is the best.
How can Man of Steel have General Zod and not give us a "Kneel before Zod!" line!?!?!?
So they didn't rehash Superman II. That's your problem? The problem with Superman Returns was that it was just Superman I again.
Lois Lane knows who Superman is from virtually the start?
Yeah, we're getting sick of this secret identity crap.
I don't give a f*@K about a troll who doesn't pay for his opinion telling me how to review movies.

Superman II is clearly the best. I don't think it's even close. As a matter of fact, I think its the best super hero movie of all time. Man of Steel? Give me break? It sucked. The original Superman would clearly come in second, probably followed by Superman Returns. How can Man of Steel have General Zod and not give us a "Kneel before Zod!" line!?!?!? Lois Lane knows who Superman is from virtually the start? No Jimmy Olsen? He wins by
simply breaking the guy's neck
? It sucked.

Well, it was the best until Man of Steel came along.

Part Three is actually a better movie than Man of Steel.
Part 4 is utter crap.

I wasn't planning on watching them anyway, but thank you for saving me from a potential disappointment. DC hasn't really let me down with both their old and their new movies I've watched, not only because it gives us mostly masterpieces but because I dodge the few flops too.

they suck if you like one an 2 never watch 3 or 4 they are so bad at least the supergirl movie has a hot babe

Man of Steel is my favorite but I agree that this is a really nice film I didn't expect it because it was lower than the first one (which I also liked very much) here on imdb. I gave them both an 8/10, which is high but well deserved, MOS though is a 10/10 for me.
Another thing unexpected was that I absolutely adored Christopher Reeve's version, and that's because everyone said that Cavill is totally different and I really loved his version, so I thought that I would dislike this one. Boy was I wrong.
Should I give part III and IV a chance btw? everyone says they're kinda bad.

This is my favorite Superman movie as well. I can remember back in 1981 when I first saw it in theaters 10/10.
Superman The Movie 9.5/10
MoS 9/10
Superman Returns 6/10
I love Pink & Green.

this and the first film are the best 2 films out of the series

I TOTALLY agree with you. This and Superman from 1978 were way ahead of their time and the two are the BEST Superman movies of all time.

In some ways, probably because I'm just old enough to have seen it in the cinema, I'd like to call it the best superhero movie ever, but yeah probably my favorite Superman movie. I love some of the newer Marvel franchise like Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy, but at some point it's nice to go back before superheros became mostly CGI and appreciate the 80s-era treatment. In this case a really good storyline with some classic moments, Christopher Reeve's awesomeness, and entertaining villains. Kneel before General Zod!

Superman II (original theatrical release version) is the best superhero movie I've ever seen.
Skip the Donner cut. It's every bit as bad as the "Star Wars: Special Edition."
Watch Richard Lester's original theatrical release version instead!
"General, would you care to step outside?"

It's the second best. I rate it 7 or 8/10.
The best one is Superman Returns (2006). I rate it 9/10.
Volker Flenske: (While torturing David) I don't know why you're doing this to yourself!

I can't hold my tongue. Man of Steel was terrible, soulless, led by a Superman with zero charisma.

what gives man of steel the edge to this as a whole is this is a little to slapstick an the retarded kiss ending is un forgivable

There is absolutely no doubt that this is the best Superman. The new ones are mostly crap, on all counts.
My name is Reek It rhymes with sneak.

This is my favorite of all the Supermans as well. I also agree that the first Superman (1978) was better, in terms of top-to-bottom production. And I also think that seeing the first one before Superman II, makes the sequel more enjoyable. You already understand the characters/personalities of the main characters, so there is more room for action.

I prefer Man of Steel but this film was better than the original. I've always been susrprsied that the scores are the opposite way around.
I agree.
I ALWAYS THOUGHT SUPERMAN 2 WAS RATED HIGHER BEFORE I SAW THE OTHER SCORES.The scores surprised me when i first saw them a few years ago.
I guest some folks do not like action that much after all and just like romance and comedy to a large extent,of course superman the movie was serious at times too.
