Let me tell ya, I've been anticipating this release since I first read about the controversy Richard Donner & the Salkinds went through while filming it in 1977-78.
As a young boy in the early 80's, I loved Superman 2.
Now, as an adult, I absolutely cannot stand Richard Lester's version.
In fact, I loathe it.
I watched it again recently and it just disgusts me.
The unnecessary slapstick humor is now gone and the more serious and foreboding tone that Donner originally intended has been restored.
Behold!
Wikipedia has a huge article on this upcoming release.
I definitely recommend that you read it.
It's quite fascinating.
Not only does it delve deep into what all happened between Donner, the Salkinds, the writers and the actors involved, it also provides you with info as to what scenes have been removed and what new, never-before-seen scenes have been included.
Check it out hereI've already pre-ordered my copy from CDuniverse.com.
And it's selling for under $20.
What a deal!
Back of DVD:Donner's Intro:It's scheduled to be released on November 28th...the same day as Superman Returns.
