    I agree with that. "Would you care to step outside" is a much better line.

    Donner Superman 2 SE (merged thread)

    I liked the Donner cut a lot. I agree that the editing in the first half or so of the film is HORRIBLE. Scenes seem to end very abruptly. I also thought there was way too much Lex early in the film, particularly the endless bickering of he and Miss Teschmacher. And I was puzzled by the...

    Did anyone see the blurb in the News section of IMDB? I looked on Empire online and didn't see the full review:

    There was speculation a few weeks back that Donner had altered the ending of his extended cut of Superman: The Movie. Has it been confirmed that he did not?

    It could be fake, but it seems like, with such a specific detail about the commentary, it could be genuine. However, the review of the film itself is extremely vague, with little info that has not been on the Net for weeks. God, how will I wait till the end of November?

    Well, true, but you still would HAVE a personality. I didn't say those words didn't describe the new Lois. I said I couldn't think of ANY words to describe the new Lois.

    I don't get the hate for it, either. I thought it was very well-done. As a fan of the original films, I enjoyed it very much. I disagree about it being the best Superman film, mainly because "Superman Returns" did not have the great character development of the first two. Example: I would...

    This is one of my most anticipated DVD releases ever, perhaps my most anticipated ever. The only other DVD releases I have actually been this excited about were the extended Lord of the Rings films. I have waited over half my lifetime to see Richard Donner's version of the film, or as close as...

    Unfortunately, when you link to the Salkind interview, neither Salkind nor the Superman Home Page sounds quite as definite about a new cut of Superman II being released as The Bits does:

    Thanks for that link, Zack. I've always wondered what Donner shot and what Lester shot. That's fascinating.

    As a teen, I preferred Superman II to Superman. As an adult, I have so much more admiration for the original film. To me, Donner found exactly the right balance between realism and fantasy, and his film had a much more epic, dramatic feel. But it seems to me like Lester dumbed down Superman...
