Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut
When it comes to directors, their films, and studio interference, I always prefer the director's cut. Whatever their vision is for a film, that’s what should be put on screen. In that sense, I do think this cut of Superman II is superior to the Lester version. It’s how Donner wanted it to be made, therefore, this is the ultimate version. However; funnily enough, I think I prefer the Lester version more. I’m just not a huge fan of some of the creative decisions that Donner had, such as Superman destroying the Fortress of Solitude, turning back time at the end, and a couple others. As I said, that’s what he wanted, and it still turned out extremely well. I just like the story and characters more from the Lester version. If you want to read the review for the theatrical cut, click right here. Besides that, both versions are just about on the same level, and I love them both dearly. I just think if I had to pick a version to watch, it would be the original.
