I don't care how the ab joint looks, it should be a requirement for all toys.

Most people prefer the original Chris Reeve movie, his performance was way more Superman/Clark than any other. On IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, and Metacritic the 1978 original is the best.

I'm pretty sure my opinion was obvious.

I agree, Reeves was a great Superman, but he was not a good Clark Kent. His Clark was a bubbling buffoon and a moron. Clark might come off as nerdy, but an accident waiting to happen he is not.

However, being a great Superman does not make your movies great. You need to have a great plot, great villains, and great action. The movies had none of those. Luthor was an idiotic lowlife, Zod was way too over the type and his two lackeys were hardly anything more than puppets (not to mention the flew in the air like puppets on strings). They lacked any sense of true action and they gave Superman powers on the fly in order to convenience the plot. Why bother kill Lois off if you can just bring her back with a quick reversal of the world? Where is the suspense when Superman can just retcon everything without consequences?
