The effects we have today are even torn apart by movie fans (I can't believe the bashing I've seen of what people are saying about Thor: Ragnarok's effects).
When Superman came out and people got to see a man look like he could actually fly it was magical to those moviegoers.
Sure, they're definitely rough now, but you have to understand that there was a lot of heart behind making this look like he was flying where now there's no heart behind punching in some effects on a computer to make him fly. It's easy(ish)!
The whole Lex scheme is very much what a cheesy comic book villain would do.
It's sad that you didn't find a connection to it like a lot of us have, but it just wasn't your cup of tea.

[font=helvetica, verdana, arial, sans-serif][font=georgia, serif]It’s terrible. That was an original assembly; it was nothing more than an assembly. And we cut most of the bad s*** out. And in good taste, the producers decided… in those days if you sold a picture to television you sold it by length. The longer the film the more money they got. So they went back and got somebody – not Stuart Baird – to put all the footage back in that we’d taken out.[/font]
[font=georgia, serif]So now, same thing, in good taste, Warner Bros TV – or whoever the hell stupidly is doing this – just took the same s*** and they’re putting it out to the audience to make a buck. Bad taste.[/font][/font]
