Superman II - The Richard Donner Cut

In association with Amazon.com
Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Horrible - Don't waste your time
Donner should be kicked in the groin for making this very dumb version of Superman II. The ending is lame and unoriginal. The re-cuts do not really add anything to make the story better. I am sorry he lost his chance to see his vision make it to the big screen the first time, but he should have left well enough alone. Save your time and effort and stick with the original one you saw in the theaters.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL
It is pretty sad that some people don't realize how good director Dick Donner is. First Superman film is classic, unfortunally he couldn't keep on the gig. What is important to realize from this version is that, even when is FAR from been finished, Donner treats viewers with respect and not like morons instead of Lester; I mean, c'mon!: Magic Kiss, celophan S, Pink bears on the floor?. Don't get me wrong, I did loved Superman II when I was a little boy, but now that I see the Donner version, I can tell you right here and now that it is WAAAY superior.

Brando was completely necessary on the story given that, even in comics, it is Jor-El whom is more attached to Superman than Lara. I saw in other review that Brando's acting on this part was flat and lack of humanity... well, guess what: Jor-El is not human!!. Not even half of it like his son. He is more a Demi-god with advance understanding of things and problems, and that's why he had to be a little dry, however the story is so well written that I couldn't avoid to feel a little sad when he say good bye to his son.

Ladies and gentlement, THIS is how a Superman movie must be made. Not the original Superman II nor even the long boring Superman Returns is as good as Donner incompleted non-budget version.

This is a must have!!!.





Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Lester version better
It was interesting to see the Richard Donner version of Superman 2, but in my opinion, the Lester version is better in almost every respect: plot, acting, dialogue, special effects, and soundtrack. It's true that the Lester version had some flaws, but the "Richard Donner" version is full of them. Many people have pointed these out, and it is quite clear that had Donner been able to finish the film as planned, it would have been better. I'm not sure I'm adding thing new that 230 other reviewers haven't already said, but these are my two cents.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - You might like this, but I didn't...
You might like this version of the classic Superman film, but I didn't. I liked the original. I can't explain why, really, other than to say that certain scenes did not appear dramatic at all even though you knew they should be. Since Superman is such a favorite of mine from many years ago, I got so used to the way I first saw it. This jarred me a bit.

Then again, when I saw Amadeus the first time, it was the director's cut with extra scenes. I loved it!! I went out to buy more of Mozart's music right away... yet what would happen if I saw the original version? Would I like that as much as the longer version?

Either way, these are great movies depending on which versions you like best.

And yes, I do recommend Amadeus very highly!!



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - This version Sucks
I can see why the theatrical version was chosen over this version. Avoid this version at all costs.
