Honestly, if I was the director or editor, I'd have a hard time cutting it, but I think, overall, it didn't really need to be there and did more harm than good.

That's quite possible. In general its good to do more with less. Superman Returns could have definitely used less scenes (and cgi). A lot of movies today could. Why does every film have to approach three freakin' hours?
