    It’s fantastic that we were able to get the movie that should have been (well as close to the original vision)20 years later.

  • Less humour and more credible filmaking!

    Let's face it everything that was great about the 1980 Superman 2 was what Richard Donner had filmed at the same time as the original movie. Lester filled is the gaps and you can see in the original superman 2 Lois lane was older looking in the Lester footage. It was a good film but the humour was overtaking the Superman lore. This is the film that should have made it all those years ago as the 3 villains are more aggressive and are a real threat to Superman and humanity not the 3 comedians in the Lester film. Gene Hackman is left to deliver the humour which makes sense as it ties in the original vision Donner had for the first film as Lex Luthor can be comedic but a provides a formidable adversary for the man of steel. Lester being an accomplished director went on to direct Superman 3 which divided fans and critics further. This film should be the direct sequel to the original masterpiece. This film is highly recommended and is superior to all superman movies made since 1980.

    Good film, but the 'trailer' is just a clip from the start of the movie.

    It's about time this was released. A really great film. Better than the Lester version.
