I'm at a loss for words here. I'm a huge fan of Superman II, but this is my first time checking out The Richard Donner Cut. I've known about if for a few years but just never got around to checking it out for myself till now. There was no urgency for me to do so earlier because a lot of "Director Cuts" really aren't all that different from the original. So, that was my assumption about this one. Boy, was I ever wrong about that. This isn't even the same movie at all.

There are so many new scenes added and a whole lot of old scenes being completely cut from the original that it changes the movie to something else all together. The Donner Cut was good, but nowhere near what I feel for the original cut of Superman II, which I have high regard for. I don't know how to explain my reaction to watching this version. It just felt off....odd.....strange. Having said that, there were some genuine "holy  s h i t" moments for me when I saw new scenes that were added that I had never seen before that just tripped me out.

I think any fan of Superman II owes it to themselves to at least check this version out and make up their own mind. I definitely recommend this as a Rent. But I have to give a shout out to the original version and give it......


...which is just as good if not better than Superman: The Movie. For the above trailer, I couldn't find the Superman II: The Richard Donner version of it. For more on Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut. Read for yourself, it's very interesting.

wow looks amazing.

when you e mailed I thought you meant the NEW superman movies...I have seen the original of this but it was a LONG time ago.

looks great and all your screen shots as usual are top notch!

well it's been about 25 years since I've seen it on top of that.

I don't even remember it at all
