Gah! So many things I want to say...
Ok, first:

Spoiler: Lois Lane is a slut.

Spoiler:
That is so incredbily unfair and sexist. What would you have her do exactly? Supes knocks her up and flies off into space for five years. Should she expose to the world that she's carrying Superman's child? That's probably nothing short of outright suicide. Instead, she hooks up with Cyclops and gets him to believe it's his kid. Which is probably the absolute safest thing she can do, until Superman decides to show up again.
I think people's opinion of Superman Returns is pretty dependent on your feelings towards Superman in general. He was my idol as kid, and this movie really was a good representation of him on the big screen that didn't ruin my childhood. It gains so much respect for that sole reason.
Seeing Superman save the plane with Lois on it, which pays tribute to the similar situation in the comics; seeing Superman put Kittie's car down in a manner reminisicent of the cover of Action Comics #1; seeing him Spoiler:
stabbed with Kryptonite and come to near death.... all these things caused an emotional reaction in me unparalleled by the Spiderman movies, X-Men movies and Batman Begins.
Now, was Superman Returns actually better than those movies? As a film, I'll say probably not. But to just say "It sucks" makes me think you're choosing to not like it at *all*, when there's really so much about it to enjoy.
