But the original director was given the boot and another called into build II, largely from pieces not used in I.The special effects are what they are – i.e. dated in age where entire movies can be built using a half-dozen linked desktop computers.On the other hand, some elements have aged poorly, mostly because of the way our culture has moved. Superman simply capturing Luther and turning him over to the authorities now seems naïve after two decades of movies where protagonists are – more often than not – inflict massive collateral damage in an effort to kill a single bad guy. Superman’s wide smile at the camera at the end seems painful naïve.But they were the best the 1980s had to offer until Burton’s Batman.</blockquote>
