Profile of Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut

Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut can be described as stylized, exciting, and feel good. The plot revolves around secret identities, superhuman powers, and superheroes. The main genres are adventure, fantasy, and action. In terms of style, it has a Hollywood tone. In approach, it is fantastical and serious. It is located in New York. Visually, it involves special effects. It is adapted from a comic. It is well suited for kids, a family outing, and teens. Note that it involves mild violent content.

Summary of Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut

Once again mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent (Christopher Reeve), hiding his identity as Superman, must fight for law and order. This time around, a triumvirate of nasty villains from the planet Krypton break free of their dimensional prison and hightail it to Earth, where they enjoy the same superpowers as Superman. Meanwhile, Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) has discovered that Superman and Clark are the same person, so Superman debates whether to give up his abilities to become a normal man and share his life with Lois.

Richard Lester (A HARD DAY'S NIGHT) originally helmed this sequel, but for this version Richard Donner (LETHAL WEAPON) has made significant re-edits and taken on the mantle of director. Lester's version excluded Marlon Brando's reprisal of his role as Jor-El from the first film, but Donner has scooped these scenes up from the cutting room floor and added them to his edit of the film.

For me, it's almost a bummer watching this because I now realize how much better Superman II could have been. Having watched the two versions back to back, it's so obvious to see how the directors took two separate approaches. Lester's version was...
