SM3: Good, but not great. The silliness of the movie could've toned down some. The Clark/Bad Superman idea was neat, though.

SM4: Quest for Peace: Again, not great. But still better than the previous film.

Still have to watch Superman Returns.

Those opinions on the third and fourth movies are close to my own. As for Superman Returns, I rank it above those two, but it still doesn't come close to the first two. I've long thought Superman has been done better on TV than in the movies. Adventures of Superman (the '50s series starring George Reeves), Lois and Clark, and Smallville are all pretty awesome adaptations, whereas after the first two Christopher Reeve movies that were totally epic, things get pretty dicey on the film side of things. That's why I'm hoping the upcoming Superman & Lois series will continue the tradition and blow the recent Henry Cavill films out of the water.

I watched Superman Returns yesterday. 

If I could pick between this and Batman Returns, I'd pick Batman Returns. Probably because I grew up with that one. But overall, Superman Returns is still an enjoyable film.

Superman I and II were both filmed at the same time. The part where he went around earth and reversed time was intended for the second film, but because of the amount of money spent on that scene they didn't want to risk a second movie not being released so they worked it into the first film. Richard Donner was the origninal director, but he was fired before the movies were finished. Several scenes were refilmed while some of his scenes were kept. Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut was released in 2006 and is a much different movie than the Richard Lester film we all grew up watching. I personally like Lester's verion better, but Donners is good too. I like both I and II, but II has a cooler vibe to it. 

I still have to watch the Lois and Clark series, Smallville, and the black and white show.
