Maybe, I don't even know if fanboy was a word back in 1978.
I agree that it didn't bother my dad at all (who took me to the film), but by then I was reading Superman comics, and to me it just seemed silly - the rest of the movie was awesome, but that was silly.
I guess for my dad, if Superman can fly and lift Western California, why can't he turn back time.
Tell you what though, if I watch youtube clips of the opening credits of Superman the Movie, or Reeve's first appearance as Supes....man it gives me chills (takes me back to being a kid in the cinema !)

I find this interesting and wonder how much portrays into movies, when I watch the superman movies (reeves) I don't get a feeling of nostalgia or anything from them, they come off as quite boring for me, but I never grew up with them, I hadn't seen them till after man of steel, and they were just so dated by then it's hard too see the performances from the actors.
What scares me about this - people eventually will look at the TDK universe, or even man of steel, and not see this epic symbol of hope that I see, and will look at those as being dated movies...god it sucks getting old.
Now, as for the discussion - I hate the time travel bit - I forget the terminology and maybe someone can remind me, but it just reminds me too much of the same problem I had with Harry Potter - anytime they ran into trouble they shouldn't be able too deal with, they magically learn a spell that solves there issue, that they could have used in a bunch of different situations previously, but decided for this one particular moment too use that spell.
I feel that's the issue with the turning back time, and why I prefer the neck snap, we all know superman always had the power to do that - and he did it.
That's why the neck snap is 100% better for me.
