關於這部電影

It's the version you've never seen. Finally released as visionary director Richard Donner originally conceived and intended, Superman II: The Richard Donner Director's Cut is a reedited rendering of the legendary superhero film that closely follows the original script and restores the lost footage originally shot by Donner in 1977 before he was taken off the project. Among the fascinating new elements in the director's cut are the original opening and ending, alternate takes and camera angles and deleted scenes featuring Marlon Brando. In the blockbuster sequel, Christopher Reeve, Gene Hackman, and Margot Kidder return as Superman confronts three supercriminals with abilities equal to his. The Kryptonian threesome arrives just as Superman is preparing to exchange his powers for a romantic relationship with Lois Lane.

Fascinating to see what is essentially a different movie than what I grew up with. WB made the right choice with changing directors, I believe. This version has jokes that fall flat and too many awkward moments. Who knew some of the most popular scenes were not originally intended to be in the movie? This is definitely a recommended watch for anyone who loves the original.

I grew up watching the first three movies in the theater, HBO, and VHS. The first movie was pure magic while the second was an awesome action-packed sequel. But this version of Superman 2 is so much better than the original... Until the end. Spinning the world backwards to reverse time was an insanely stupid idea in the first movie and it's repeated in this Richard Donner cut. This alternate ending is followed by the second restaurant scene that doesn't even belong in the new/reversed timeline Superman spins into place.

I much preferred the original. While Richard Donner's version did get rid of a few of the elements I didn't like from the original, I still felt most of the changes just didnt really work and that the ending was just stupid!
