I DO hope you've corrected that shot in the Metropolis battle scene that was flipped in the film and never corrected in any of the DVD releases of SII. For anyone who's missed it - and I don't see how you could(!) - it follows the shots of Zod catching the wall segment he's "heat-rayed" from the crane cable and Superman looking down at the crowd. Another example of the sloppiness that earned SII such disdain in my eyes. (I mean, if you're going to flip an insert shot, make sure it doesn't have any freakin' BILLBOARDS or "NO ENTRY" signs in it!)

For the record, two other things I HATED about SII:
    The British accents on the children of East Houston, Idaho and Metropolis

    The cheesy bit of having the helicopter "crash" behind the barn to avoid having to do a more elaborate effect


Really - don't get me started on SII! :^D
