I mainly like Supe 2.
But the one thing that I just can't get past is the ending in the diner.
Reeve-Supe would never seek revenge in that way.
I can't remember, was that scene in the Donner Cut?
If it is, then it makes even less sense in the context of having turned back time.
Unfortunately yes, I believe Donner directed that scene. Its so wrong and out of character.
But Octoberman, Reeve-Supe didn't actually do anything, other than call the guy "garbage" (and wasn't he?). Everything that happened to the creep (other than spinning in the chair), happened because of his own actions/behavior. Would the turning-back-time thing have made this guy less of a bully, or changed Clark Kent's knowledge of it.
And Solium, you jokingly say "Zod deserved more than having his hand smashed". Well, didn't he?? I lost count of the deaths he and his thug minions were responsible for (the astronauts, dozens in the army and in the small town) and the unspeakable terror he put the world through. But hurting his wittle-bitty hand and tossing him against a wall is "too extreme", I guess. And even less acceptable because our lord and savior Superman did it. Sheesh.
Maybe I just don't understand this idea of letting despicable people get away with their awful behavior...

No, I'm not for letting despicable people get away doing awful things. The issue I have is Superman in both instances inflicting revenge on his enemies. In both cases he wanted to cause harm and humiliation for his own satisfaction. Its out of character for the Superman I know and grew up with. I like heros who have a firm commitment to their ethics and morality. Sup was not an eye for an eye kinda guy.

Soundtrack cd's should be shelved alphabetically, BY FRANCHISE NAME FIRST.
Therefore, BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES should be in the P's, not the B's.

File music C.D.s by the composer's first name, not by last name.
YOU, sir, are trying to start a Silly War.
