Only nostalgy can make you think Reeves was a good Superman, for this era it was good, but when you look at it now, his acting was so bad. ( plus his physic and suit were horrible)

If the movies and his acting were so bad, why are they so cherished? Is the Godfather a piece of shit simply because it's aged? The fact is, Superman 1 and 2 were the only Superman movies in history that are highly regarded as great movies. Reeve is the ONLY Superman who has been praised both critically and commercially as well. Every other Superman movie since has been met with either a "meh" or a "pure bullshit" reaction. 

Superman is suppose to be a "boy scout"... not some mental case who's past wakes him at night. Reeve captured that perfectly and that, along with writting that also understood the charcater, is why those first two movies are still the only great Superman movies. 

Because we had less expectations 20 years ago for super heroe movies, you can be sure something like Dragon Ball Evolution 30 years ago would have been praised the same. The fact is nostalgy is the only reason why some people would say he is a better superman. It was the first decent Superman and the first decent super heroe movie so it's not a big deal to be praised when there are no real challengers to be compared to. It was good for this time, it is a cult movie because it set a new standard before Spiderman raises the level by far. The same can be said for al ot of movie that didnt age well.

The Godfather has nothing to do with this, it didnt need FX and it's not a super heroe movie, you can still watch it and you wont feel it's too old.

Superman has many faces, it seems you didnt read a lot of comics, you only know Reeve's Superman.

THe only great for you yes, because of nostalgy.
