I recall hearing requests for the cut scenes to be included in the DVD, but Snyder made it clear he wasn't interested in Showing it/releasing it. I do recall an interview with the guy that wrote the novelization, and he had a number of the cut scenes in it, so that's about as close as you're going to get to seeing it.

There are definitely things they love about Lois and Clark, but at the end of the day, many of the current set of fans are more interested in superheroic elements than the day-to-day (hence, why they appreciate his Clark, especially in comparison to the previous "milquetoast Clark" that Reeve showcased so flawlessly, but if they were to be asked for their favorite overall, it's often Reeve).

The disdain for Superman Returns is almost universally panned, even among fans of the Reeve universe. The idea that he'd leave the world after a pledge like he made at the end of Suoerman II, it was uncharacteristic of him.

CLARK: No. I'm just worried I'm a jinx.
JONATHAN: A jinx?
CLARK: Yeah. Let's face it, ever since she's known me, Lois's been kidnapped, frozen, pushed off buildings, almost stabbed, poisoned, buried alive and who knows what else, and it's all because of me.
