while superman 2 does allot of things not right like having allot more cheezy comedic bits that sometimes does not fit the tone of the scene and giving us a version of zod that i say lacks the depth of his man of steel counterpart.
it still gives great chemistry between clark and lois, gene hackman as lex luthor and superman's arc to giving up his powers to be with lois to having to sacrifice that in order to protect the world.
its strange that they didn't explain how he got his powers back tho.
