SR is definitely a more worthy (pr/s)equel than TPM. However, despite what Kevin Spacey thinks, it cannot "be judged on its own merit and not in comparison to the old films." Singer did everything in his power to mimic the style of Puzo/Donner/Reeve's Superman and as such invited a direct comparison. But he then offered an incomprehensibly selective continuity with that character, and a shapeless and imbalanced narrative. The result is a movie that is neither sequel, remake, nor stand-alone, but a misch-masch of all three. Still, I'm looking forward to the ADM edition.
