Superman 2 by far.

I've seen Superman: The Movie twice, once in theaters, and I found it boring. Superman 2 was fun because it was more comic-like and had villains of Superman's own power level to contend with.

In Superman: The Movie, they wanted to go with a wide screen resolution the likes of Lawrence of Arabia to show that this was an epic film worthy of the audience's respect. In the sequel, they had a more compressed resolution with greater color saturation to resemble a comic panel. I much appreciated that improvement as the film just feels more alive. In general, I'm not a fan of serious comic movies. Joker is the only one so far that I've enjoyed. I prefer superheroes as fantastic characters battling dinosaurs, robots, and mutants and having galleries of colorful costumed characters.

I've developed a begrudging respect for Superman: The Movie over the years, mostly after seeing the night and day difference in characterization between Superman and Man of Steel, but I still think of superheroes as extensions of Saturday morning childhood entertainment. When I want drama, I want real people in real situations. When I want superheroes, I want the fantastic and the unreal.

That's just my take on superheroes.
