highly recommended

Director Richard Lester (A Hard Day's Night) took over the franchise with this first sequel in the series, though the film doesn't look much like his usual stylish work. (Superman III is far more Lesteresque.) Still, there is a lot to like about this movie, which finds Superman grappling with the conflict between his responsibilities as Earth's savior and his own needs of the heart. Choosing the latter, he gives up his powers to be with Lois Lane (Margot Kidder), but the timing is awful: three renegades from his home planet, Krypton, are smashing up the White House, aided by the mocking Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman). The film isn't nearly as ambitious as its predecessor, but the accent on relationships over special effects (not that there aren't plenty of them) is very satisfying. --Tom Keogh

The Best Superman

Other than that waste of a film, Superman V, this is the only Superman where the Man of Steel has to go against someone with superhuman powers. And it wasn't just one, but four villains from the planet Krypton that has the same powers as Superman.

But it wasn't just doing battle with the other Supermen (well, one was a superwoman) that made this great, but it also showed the human side of Superman as he makes the choice to become mortal for Lois Lane's sake. Then there was the continual relationship development between Lois and Superman/Clark Kent.

Of all the Superman movies, this is by far my favorite... even beating out the new Special Effects driven "Superman Returns". If you love Superman, you need to check this one out!

Great sequel to Superman: The Movie!

The followup to "Superman: The Movie" keeps the fast paced action moving along as Jor-L struggles with his feelings for Lois Lane while three Kryptonian supervillains ravage the planet Earth only to meet up with none other than Lex Luthor: the greatest criminal mind of all time. I personally haven't read all the trivia about Richard Donner vs. Richard Lester, special Donner editions, Hollywood politics, etc. All I can tell you is that "Superman: The Movie" and "Superman II" are both awesome, they seem like they should be part of one larger movie but can easily pass as a babysitting double feature, and wow they are fun!! I need to check out the more deluxe packages (maybe even BUY them!) because these 2000/1 editions that I checked out from the library could use a little more in the special features department. I wanted to review them anyway, though . . . because they're SOOO GOOOOOD!!!

Superman II...THE BEST!!

I really got into this Superman movie when it came out 25 years ago. It has all the excitement, action and thrills fans have expected through these years. Wonderful performances by Christopher Reeve and Terence Stamp! This movie rocks!!

Fun to watch.

Superman 2 is a really good movie.Superman 2 has more action and is way more fun than the original.This version is good but the Donner Cut is way better.
