  • We have the Super-Hero Film Genre because of one man: Richard Donner.

  • Boy, people: imagine how touched and happy Donner must've felt when - after a generation of a time - he finally get to see his version of Superman II. To me, he is one of the top-5 directors in Hollywood.

    And you, Lester: travel to Hawaii, and make a TV-comedy of the way Warner Brothers is handleing his comicbook-ikons! Those pitskunks!

  • Man, Donners version was truly ultimate, even when I saw the original pt ll in the theaters when I was 8 years of age, there was so much garbage in the film (even though it was a real great film) Just because of BS conflict with Brando?? Too bad we cant go back into time,, but nevertheless I own the Donner version and can watch it all day long, its just pehenominal!!

  • @qwuezalothus I couldn't agree more. I will never forget sitting at the cinema as a kid, watching Lester's cut and thinking, 'Why in the world would Superman allow himself to trip and end up with his hand in the fireplace?' I always felt that was ridiculous. I can't believe I only found out by accident that Donner's version is available on DVD. I guess I'd given up hope in that department. So I can't wait to see it. Lester screwed up Superman, that's for sure.

  • I think a more apt comparison is that Donner was like the Burton of his time. Both these directors created entirely original and superb visions of the two best loved superheroes out of nothing. It's almost hard to imagine the Superman and Batman that we see today had it not been for directors like these two who literally invented wondrous cinematic versions of the characters and set the bar of the cinematic look of the characters ever since.

  • 3:23: Is Donner showing his finger to us? lol

  • A lot of trouble must've went with all this.

  • I LOVE the Richard Donner Cut! Thanks for posting this!

  • @danrod86 You're right, I checked the subtitles.
