ella_mennoI got "Superman II: the Richard Donner cut" from Netflix a few days ago, and am just now getting around to watching it.
Holy crap. I mean, holy CRAP. I'm going to go ahead and sound incredibly naive here, but I had no idea that changing directors would make such a HUGE difference in the end result.
Presumably, they were working off the same script, right? Because the writing credits were the same, but - the RD version?
Is so much better. It's more tied to the first movie, it's more serious, it's just richer and deeper and, just. BETTER.
Obviously I'm going to have to think on this, digest the movie a bit and then come back to comment on this.
But I'm absolutely floored at how much I prefer this version of the film (and that's saying something, because I liked the original version quite a bit.)
Has anyone else done the 'compare and contrast' between versions?
S, I'm for serious: if you haven't seen this version yet, you have to. You HAVE to. CR is phenomenal.
