Can we please get the Richard Donner Cut as a different movie page? I know it's a recut of this film, but it's much different (and WAY better, IMO) than this version. Plus, the battle of which is better would be interesting to see unfold.

I watched both versions today and honestly preferred the theatrical cut, though both have plenty of problems.

First two acts: As good as the first. Third act: a sign for how awful the series was going to get. (Why do some great films have incredibly underwhelming climaxs? Superman 2, Mystic River, Thunderball and Silence of the Lambs)

Manages to gain classic comic book feature status through a combination of great stunts and a great human angle. The best Superman movie.
