That shot was just badly processed blue/green screen work. That's why it looked flat and the color and lighting was off.

The special edition used the renegade cut and was better. The way a turd covered in gold is better. Looks nicer but it still smells

My problem in SIV is that we constantly see Clark change in Superman by going past a wall or through a door but we never get an iconic shirt rip.
In every Superman film, the first time we see Clark change into Superman must be an iconic major shirt-ripping event. Every transformation thereafter need not be showy or indeed shown at all.
Another problem in SIV was why didn't Superman just hand out ecstasy tablets to the school children in Jeremy's class? He sure as poop wasn't going to free them from the danger of nuclear annihilation... he gave Jeremy some POS excuse about the UN leaders having ultimate control over America's national strategic interests.. so why not just drug them all up to ease their pain?

The scene didn't play as well as it read (I got ahold of a script at a convention before seeing it)- but I admired that at least the subject was TACKLED at all- since it was always avoided in the Superman comics I'd read growing up. So, I gave the script a lot of leeway as I wouldn't know how you would open up that can of worms then tie it up neatly by the end. Given that, I think they did an ok job. And- yeah, an iconic shirt rip would have been nice, for sure (and inexpensive).

Sadly we didn't get a shirt rip but we did get ANOTHER iconic Superman image in the Reeve series for the first time: the phone booth change. I loved that. we didn't get a shirt rip in MOS either. Guesss they thought it would be hokey. Could he even wear that plastic ridged suit under clothes?

The phone booth change was dumb because when Clark transformed the we first thing we see is Supes....... boot? Dumb.
Also we need a shirts rip on screen to spell-out that Clark IS Superman.
Regarding MOS yes it would be hard to have the chest plate under a shirt and not have it noticeable... how to get out of this predicament? Willing suspension of disbelief like how can Supes tuck the cape down his pants? Or how in SIII Clark's tie comes undone like butter?
I dunno.

I didn't hate the phone booth change, but didn't love it, either. The two best changes (no suprise) are STM and SII imo. Given Snyder's visual strengths, I was pretty disappointed- as much as I hated Sucker Punch, the action scenes are fantastic there, and thought at least we'd have the same in MOS.

Ever notice how in Niagra Clark gave Lois BOTH the hotdogs? Lois eventually gave Clark's crusty 7 year old hotdog to Jeremy which he held up in front of Superman to tease him.. when Supes found out he was pissed.

Well the above graphic was meant to demonstrate how unfathomable the notorious Superman Jeremy hotdog picture is. How could this picture be taken? Was it just indicative of a rushed/uncaring 1/2 assed production?

I saw in the news that Russia had nukes on alert during the Crimea crisis.
Are we reliving the 1980s again?
