Left a new review for you on this. Thanks!

bubblywater said:The only thing I felt was missing was that I wished you included the scene where Kitty tells Superman to call her Katherine and he does whereas Lex still calls her Kitty when she points out her preference for her real name. I know it's said she has a crush on Superman before when Lex opens the paper but I feel this scene cements why she admires Superman (perhaps she sees he's a little more respectful than Lex?) and cries for him at the end when he's getting beaten. Without that scene I feel she had no reason to be really crying for Superman or even throwing away the crystals before they leave the kryptonite island.
One other thing is that the audio was low at times and I had to increase the volume when dialogue was being spoken and then lower it when the score came on. It could be my computer though
Thank you so much for this edit. It will definitely be the version I show to other people from now on~

I didn't care much for Superman Returns when I saw it in the theaters. Man of Steel was considerably worse, as the batmanization of supes seemed both unnecessary and tonally wrong.
The latter film was so disappointing that it revised my opinion of Superman Returns. Underneath the crappy crap, Returns has strengths—some channeling of Christopher Reeve's charm, set design with an art deco flavor, a sense of awe here and there.
Tomahawk flushed away some of the crap, thereby creating a very watchable version. The first half of the fanedit was masterful in pulling me into an alternate-reality version of Superman '78. I fucking felt the magic. I wish the second half could have been like that, but it felt too similar to the theatrical product, could have used some streamlining. (Digression/for example—never did like the scene of Lois pulling supes out of the depths, since the guy weighs a ton or so.)
Still, I like this fanedit, as it gives me a really nice way to enjoy the C. Reeve + J. Williams vibe outside of actually watching a C. Reeve film. And now that we know it's possible to suck all charm out of a supes blockbuster, I appreciate even more the work Tomahawk put into recovering what turns out to be a much better film than the studio put out.

p.s. I had the same issue as bubblywater re: sound.

Good point about the Lois thing. I like how she gets to save him for a change, but the execution of that idea was definitely flawed.
