Description

Christopher Reeve, Gene Hackman, and Margot Kidder return in this blockbuster sequel to one of the most beloved superhero movies ever made. On the verge of giving up his powers for love, Superman (Reeve) is confronted by three super-criminals from his home planet who have escaped imprisonment and come to Earth with the same abilities as the man of steel. Imperious insurrectionist General Zod (Terence Stamp), seductive but sadistic Ursa (Sarah Douglas), and mute brute Non (Jack O'Halloran) challenge Superman to a cosmic battle for world supremacy--just as Superman and Lois Lane (Kidder) finally get romantically involved.

    Just so you know, the horizontal iPhone icon for this is the Richard Donner cut. You guys might want to fix it. Good movie, by the way.

    Don't buy anyone telling you that the Donner cut is better. This is the best version and the best Superman movie by far.
  • This is bad

    While the Donner cut offers some wonderful new moments and never before seen performances, it remains the ultimate cut scene and not really a complete film. Many things had not been worked out before the director switch up and the final product is incomplete even now with some giant lapses in logic (why destroy the Fortress if he turns the world back in time anyway for example) and some great lines have been removed to simply make it different from the theatrical cut. This version, the theatrically released version is complete work, albeit from two directors, but fully realized nonetheless. Lester's work has been unfairly passed over in favor of Donner's work in many circles and in many cases is superior to the Donner footage (Lester didn't have a toilet joke for example). The battle in Metropolis is still the standard for superhero battles and Reeves remains iconic no matter who's in the director's chair. The Donner cut is a must see, but this version is the one that has rightfully earned it's place as one of the greatest superhero movies of all time.
  • Awesome!!! ...but Donner's is better

    Title says it all. This is not really a continuation of The Movie & if you pay attention, doesn't even make sense at certain points. Probably bc the "director" was just re shooting Donner's footage, which was already done(some scenes, like All of Lex's still were Donner's footage). It had more action(I guess) , but made less sense is the bottom line...but I still loved it.
