The tale in Superman #14, though a bit of fun, was probably unnecessary and sometimes outright silly -- and I say so despite being a fan of Hal Jordan for nearly as long as I've been a Super-fan. Yes, Millennium should probably have remained a Green Lantern Corps storyline (rather than a DC Universe event), but it wasn't Millennium that kept Superman #14 from clicking, I think. Indeed, last month's issues worked quite well within the context of the second post-Crisis-1985 crossover. Despite Pa's boneheadedness (ugh!), I'd say I prefer Action #597's Silver Age qualities over Superman #14's relative pointlessness.
