I really didnt hate or like the movie...but ...After reading this thread, I must say I really do like how much you like it.
Very cool.
Hey Anthony, even though I utterly disagree with you, I could not love your enthusiasm for a movie more. You're sticking to your guns, and that's what true fans do. I wish there were more like you.

Thank you guys, that makes me happy to hear. The heart of this hobby is to collect what you love, right? With the release of the Superman Anthology and the Return to Krypton scene online there's been a lot of revived discussion on this movie, most of which is rather negative. Even the press releases reporting the box set/scene take a swipe at it. I'm pretty sure even Bryan Singer has said in an interview that Superman Returns "didn't quite work".
But in spite of everything people say, I love this movie. It's the kind of movie that makes me want to write an analysis paper. To be passionate about a piece of art is a multidimensional exercise that requires not only introspection as to why you enjoy it but understanding its criticisms from those who don't. I'm very happy with the responses I've gotten in this thread.
