- Superman agrees to sacrifice his powers to start a relationship with Lois Lane, unaware that three Kryptonian criminals he inadvertently released are conquering Earth.
- Picking up where "Superman: The Movie" left off, three criminals, General Zod (<a href=">Terence Stamp), Ursa, (<a href=">Sarah Douglas), and Non (<a href=">Jack O'Halloran) from the planet Krypton are released from the Phantom Zone by a nuclear explosion in space. They descend upon Earth where they could finally rule. Superman, meanwhile, is in love with Lois Lane (<a href=">Margot Kidder), who finds out who he really is. Lex Luthor (<a href=">Gene Hackman) escapes from prison and is determined to destroy Superman by joining forces with the three criminals.
- Where's all this criticism come from? So it's old, so it's dated, but who cares? Superman II is a splendid mix of romance, action, suspense and comedy. It was made in a time when they actually used practical effects and models because they didn't have the computerised technology they have these days. I was impressed with the wire work and the action sequences were an awesome spectacle to behold. Actors like Christopher Reeve and Gene Hackman make their triumphant return to the series as does Ned Beaty, Terrance Stamp, Margot Kidder and the lovely Valerie Perrine. The score by Ken Thorne is never given the credit it deserves, neither does Richard Lester's fun, slapstick-filled direction. He simply did the job he was brought in to do. He's no Richard Donner, but the franchise was never bad with Lester at the helm. All in all, Superman II is a wonderful motion picture and a great companion piece to the original.
- While 1978's Superman launched the superhero movies genre and proved that good movies could be made out of (to be blunt) childish comic book characters, it was it's sequel that set the standard for just how great superhero movies could be. Sam Raimi's wonderful first two Spider-Man films (in particular his second one, a masterpiece) can both be traced back to this, as it focuses on the man behind the blue costume. <br/><br/>The film focuses on Superman ultimately being forced to reveal his secret identity to love interest Lois Lane after a series of clues causes her to catch on. As they fall deeper in love, he ultimately decides he wants to be with her, and gives up all of his powers to do, although after an ugly encounter with a man named Rocky at a cafe that makes him uncomfortable with how vulnerable he now is, and the arrival of escaped Kryptonion criminal, the ruthless General Zod, who conquers Earth with the help of his equally dangerous associates Ursa and Non, he is forced reconsider. The plot ultimately resolves itself after Zod's defeat, with Lois becoming depressed at the thought of never being able to be with him or or move on from him, so Clark does the noble thing of wiping her memory of his true identity to spare her the pain. This aspect is very well written and one of the few romance story lines in the superhero genre they've managed to get right.<br/><br/>Acting wise, I can't even express how good Reeve is as Clark/Superman. He absolutely nails Clark's awkward facade to a tee, and strikes the perfect line between corny and badass as Superman. I'm still not sure how he manages to pull off this character so well. It's uncanny. Kidder also impresses as Lois, being given a much wider range of scenes and emotions in this, and thus more to do. Gene Hackman also returns as chief antagonist Lex Luthor in a supporting role, and even he is much better in this than the previous one, finally free of his annoying associates and awful dialogue that dragged his character down in the first movie. It's Terrance Stamp who owns the entire thing though, with his scene stealing performance as the diabolical General Zod, completely nailing every line, facial expression and movement for his character. He's so good that he managed to turn a forgettable character from the comics into a cultural icon.<br/><br/>This movie had a troubled production, with director Richard Donner being replaced after completing half of the movie due to conflicts with the producers, with credited director Richard Lester finishing the product. Donner's full vision for the film would be released as "The Richard Donner cut" in 2006, and is also brilliant, but the theatrical version remains just as good and just as well made despite the behind-the-scenes nightmare. <br/><br/>In fact, Lester's more comedic version seems to work well here, blending in with the drama seamlessly (with the exception of the terrible slapstick used during the Metropolis battle scene) to to create a highly enjoyable film filled with romance, humour, action and drama and ultimately the best Superman movie of then all. Just a shame Lester then ruined it all with the...Uh....next installment.
- Superman II emerges as a solid, classy, cannily constructed piece of entertainment which gets down to action almost immediately.
- Not exactly. The cellophane "S" logo and the multiple holographic projections were traps Superman had prepared for the villains. This is confirmed by a line from the shooting script: "Zod begins to realize that Superman, on his home turf, has powers and devices at his command beyond their comprehension."<br/><br/>As for the villains, the lasers they shoot were intended as heat vision, while their "disappearing" power was not teleportation but super-speed. Although it was written as such in the script, these powers were not accurately depicted on screen.<br/><br/> Yes, but it was rarely used and later dropped. While not specifically stated, it is implied that he drained the power of the green crystal to restore his powers. In the screenplay, and as originally filmed, Jor-El used the remainder of his life force (from that crystal) to give his abilities once again. This was finally shown in the 2006 "Donner Cut". A comparison between the Theatrical Version and the Richard Donner Cut is more than difficult, as both version are very different from each other. Not only the usual additional scenes were added, it is almost a completely new movie. Parts of the story are shown at completely different points in time, other sequences were completely removed and some new sequences were added. In total the Donner Cut is approx. 11 minutes shorter than the Theatrical Version. Due to the humanisation process being spread out all over the vast interior of the Fortress of Solitude, rather than heavily concentrated into one small chamber as it was for Superman himself, it is feasible to conclude that the pain inflicted would be far less noticeable to them. a5c7b9f00b
