i've heard mixed reviews about this. apparently, footage from the first movie is intersperced with this new cut (like the time reversal sequence). i'm seriously doubting this version is better than the original.

I bought it today.  It IS better than the original.  Here's exactly what it is...

Unlike many "special edition" and “director’s cut” movies released over the years, Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut is essentially a completely new film. As much as half of the film contains never-before seen material filmed by Donner, including 15 minutes of restored Marlon Brando scenes as Superman's father Jor-El as well as numerous new Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder scenes.

There are also several newly-filmed shots with CGI enhancements. Richard Donner is credited as director of the film instead of Richard Lester—the original credited director of Superman II. More than half of Lester's footage filmed for Superman II has been removed from the film and replaced with Donner footage shot during the original principal photography from 1977-1978. Certain footage filmed by Richard Lester remains in sequences that were not shot by Donner due to the halt in production for this film.

It's almost a new movie when compared to the original...  Finally, Superman II, the way it was intended to be.

I've been waiting so long for this but I had to cancel my order the other day when I found out out Warner Bros screwed up the Superman III disc in the Ultimate Collection Box. Now I'll have to wait even longer till WB release the set proper >:(. I got an old Muscle Mag off Ebay the other day from 1981 and Robert Kennedy slams Christopher Reeve because Chris said he thought the idea of guys lifting weights & looking at themselves in the mirror was a little wierd. Kennedy really gave it to him which lowered my opinion of him big time.

SERGIO!!!!!
