I love Superman II the only thing I have a problem with is the ending which is the same as the first but if Richard Donner would of stayed he would of made a better ending so I can't blame him for using the same ending as the first

[silverlightsaber]

They only used the same ending as Superman I because it was originally planned for II. Due to filming costs and tight schedules though, they decided to use the most climactic ending they had (turning the world around) for the first since they weren't sure if there would even be a second. Who knows what ending they would've though f if Donner had come back to finish II.

I just finished watching it and I loved it! The film was fucking awesome! The restored Jor-El scenes were great as Marlon Brando is a fantastic actor. Christopher Reeve was a spectacular actor as always. As well, Margot Kidder was very convincing as Lois Lane. Makes you think how awesome the further sequels would've been with Richard Donnor.

@ryananderson280195 Which scenes w/ the voice changes?

[SuperBlurayfan]

I recommend you read Tom Mankiewicz"s shooting script for Superman II! It is epic and grand!

You should review the rest of the Superman movies.

Nice review. I've been wanting to check out the DONNER CUT for a while 'cause I've herad almost completely positive feedback on it.

Though to be fair on the Batman series, I (personally) think that BATMAN FOREVER was as good as BATMAN RETURNS, and is to often rolled toegether with BATMAN & ROBIN (which the studio ruined). The only director's films that feel the same were Nolan's, the two Burton films and two Schummacher films are drastically different from each other.

your very cute

You know, there's almost a weird connection between the Batman and Superman movie franchises. I mean When Richard Donner and Tim Burton did the first two films of their series, both franchises were quite successful. But when Richard Lester and Joel Schumacher camped up the last few movies, the series plummeted. But then when Chris Nolan did BB and TDK, Batman bounced right back. So with Chris' brother now directing Superman, hopefully Superman can get back on track as well. You never know ;)

I remeber when i saw the first two Superman films, there were great! They had action, drama and pretty neat special effects.

[ryananderson280195]

you can tell that there were some errors because of the scene where Lois finds out who Clark is. If I told my friends Lois shoots him they wouldn't believe me, also there was some continuity errors e.g superman's/zod's/Lois's voice change and they also use some footage of the audition for clark kent but i did like how they explained more like how zod was freed

I bought it, man. It's awesome!! Check out my review of it.

Yes, but anything is better then the memory wiping kiss from the other version of Superman II that is completely ridiculous
