Bryan Singer said the film was a franchise reboot which would mean the first two Reeve films wouldn't be canon. The screenwriters couldn't state clearly what it was. Some say it's a sequel to IV, others it's a requel to II, and others are in line with Singer. It plays so much like a hollow remake of the original that I don't know what it's supposed to be.
