The best Superman movie ever, Christopher Reeve is the one and only Superman
You can see the complete Donner vision of what he wanted to do with the character of Superman
Probably the best Superman film. It’s just amazing!
Representation of what it might have looked like if Richard Donner was able to finish Superman II but impossible to get his full take on it.
It’s way more cartoony than I expected. I didn’t care for it but it isn’t as great as everyone makes it seem. Especially the repeat ending.
I don't like this one as much as the first theater cut. However Donner had a vision.
So much better than the Richard Lester/studio cut.
Removes all the campy and stupid elements from the theatrical version and feels more in tone with the original film, the superior sequel
Not as well put together as the theatrical version particularly the ending but still a version of a great sequel with some excellent moments
My absolutely favorite Superman movie of all the movies and TV series made so far, and I've seen them all.
