I wonder if there was as much scrutiny with Donner's Superman deviating from the source material when it came out, or was everyone so enamored with how good it was that they just overlooked it all.

Donner’s version deviated only on the window dressing. All the important points were there. Krypton as an advanced but myopic culture. Jor-El as something of a rebel. The planet’s destruction. Smallville and the Kents.

Most significantly, motivations were not altered.
