Are your criteria production values and/or special effects? Then yes every next CGI-festooned thrill fest is the best ever made. My criteria are human drama.

Nope. Human drama, faithfulness to the original material, pacing, performances. Pretty much whatever makes any movie a good movie. The original “Superman” was outstanding in those (the dated effects now kind of remove you from the action, but that’s to be expected), which is why it was such a great idea to make “Superman Returns” a “pseudo-sequel” to the first two Donner films.
