 The Best Superman December 28, 2006
Other than that waste of a film, Superman V, this is the only Superman where the Man of Steel has to go against someone with superhuman powers. And it wasn't just one, but four villains from the planet Krypton that has the same powers as Superman.
But it wasn't just doing battle with the other Supermen (well, one was a superwoman) that made this great, but it also showed the human side of Superman as he makes the choice to become mortal for Lois Lane's sake. Then there was the continual relationship development between Lois and Superman/Clark Kent.
Of all the Superman movies, this is by far my favorite... even beating out the new Special Effects driven "Superman Returns". If you love Superman, you need to check this one out!

My children love Superman and Chritopher Reeves is the embodiment of the character. And what about Gene Hackman, brillant as Lex Luthor
AMAZON PLEASE GIVE THE RICHARD DONNER VERSION A SEPERATE LINK!!! October 10, 2006

I'm really begging with Amazon to not confuse The new Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut, with the original Superman II: Richard Lester version because both of these are completely different films & should be treated as such.
1st thing people who truely think that Richard Lester is a great director & did a great job on SII need a reality check. All he did was take an already great script done by SUPERMAN I creative consultant Tom Mankiewicz, and 70-80% shot by Richard Donner shift around some stuff & make the film (all the actors were there for him, a donkey could have done it).
Lester would also add some unneeded slap stick humor (e.g. Metropolis fight scene where the three super villains use their super breath to blow out the Metropolis civilians where after an unneeded and very cheesey moment of slap stick bad homage to Charlie Chaplin stances take place & the earlier scene of when the supervillains are introduced by duking it out in the American wild west???).
Lester would be found out as a director in the poor Superman III where his slap stick humour would basically ruin the film but not to say his version of Superman II is bad but it just doesn't compare to the brilliance of number 1, especially after repeated watchings II just seems like a poor boys substiute!!
Donner on the other hand had completely different thinking for II it was meant to be on the same epic scale & feeling a I & in quality terms match it if not even better it. Also around 30% of the Lester film uses Donner's footage whilst in the SII:DC it uses around 80% footage & will feel like a completely different film.
Having already seen some of the new scenes, e.g. Lois jumping out of the window of The Daily Planet to proove that Clark is Superman, The fight with The Super Villains over Metropolis, some of the new Brando scenes, & Lois's tearful farewell, it's obvious that this film will be entirely different from the original theatrical realise of SII & should be treated as an entirely different film not put as if it's just a normal directors cut of an already realised film!!!
Please Amazon originally the link was seperate so why change it???

the first superman movie was great this one is even better this movie has superman fighting not one but three superpowered villian each one with the same power he has.the other superman movies mainly part 3 and 4 were good to they were much much much better then the new superman movie (if you expect superman to fight villians with powers in the new superman movie you will be very very very very dissappointed)anyway this movie has good story good plot but the showdown with the supervillians is at the end of the movie buy this sequel to superman the first movie you will not be dissappointed at least in this sequel he fights superpowered villians.
