@Mondobizarrro - I really loved the Grandeur of Superman I, and while Superman II dulled that a little, I liked it. I actively didn't like Superman III and have actually never seen Superman IV.
When the Richard Donner Cut of Superman II came out, I fell in love with it, even if it's not the best cut due to all the scenes that didn't get filmed, and it's that sweeping epic grandeur I loved about Supes 1 and 2, the cemented that dislike of Goofy Superman.
