Corrected entry: Merely being in the presence of Kryptonite causes Superman a great deal of pain, yet he manages to walk atop an entire island infused with it without even noticing.

Corrected entry: After Superman lifts the car, the wheels are seen stopped, it was running fast with the brakes out so they should be still spinning.
Correction: Superman stops the car (thus stopping the rotation of the tires) and THEN lifts it.
No, this definitely does not happen. The car is moving out of control towards the people who are having dinner, and Superman lifts it while in motion over the people having dinner, and then drops it down in a safe space on the other side of the fountain. I think this correction is suggesting that Superman stops the car while it is on the ground, and then lifts it. There would be no point in lifting the car if he had already safely stopped it.

Correction: Remember, he is not walking on an "island of kryptonite" but an island with kryptonite pockets in it. It was also the crystal's version of kryptonite, and since it was not as potent as true kryptonite, it merely sapped his power, rather than causing him pain.
That cannot be accurate because if his strength was merely sapped Luthor's men would not have been able to beat him.
Since it is all alien and fictional, we can't fully know the extent of the effects that this new Kryptonite would have on Superman. What is shown in the movie is that, at the very least, it took his Superman powers and reduced him to what appears to be normal human strength. At that point, Lex was able to surprise him with that first hit, and then he was ganged up on by the crew.
