Uh, read any of the old comic books from over the years and you'll see that they made up all sorts of powers for him along the way (as with many other superheroes). But let's breakdown your complaints...

1) Cornball romance between superman and "beastly" margot kidder.

How old are you, 10? Superman and Lois Lane have
always been an item, and Marot Kidder was far from
beastly. I thought she was perfect for the role of Lois.

2. loss of powers in a kryptonian phone booth?

A phone booth, mn hmnn... yeah... there's a reason to walk out on a movie.

3. oops nevermind here's my powers lol

As opposed to him never getting his powers back? Shit, you should clearly be writing superhero movies. Brilliant.
That's pretty much the only one I partially agree with, but that was more humorous than bad, and the 2nd movie had a nice mix of humor to go with the action anyway.
I refer you to the top of this post once again.
And again...

7. why is superman such a bitch against three members of his own race who haven't had NEARLY as much yellow sunlight as he has?
|
Did you even watch the movie? Zod explained it quite clearly,
"The closer we come to an atmosphere with only one sun... a yellow sun... the more our molecular density gives us unlimited powers." There's nothing in there about how long they've been exposed to the sun, it's simply how close they come to it. As for him being a "bitch" against three members of his own race, uh... he won, so how was he being a "bitch" in a 1vs3 fight again?

8. there were a few times where I expected gene hackman to slip on a banana peel or something, he was such a lame semi comic relief.

Lame? The hell he was, he was perfect for the role of Lex Luthor, totally capturing the Lex from the old Superman comics.
I'm not going to pass any judgement on the new Superman movie until I see it, but to claim that the original 2 movies were anything less than extremely well done and entertaining, does indeed make your opinions basically worthless.
