Review of "Superman II: The Donner Cut"

Superman II: The Donner Cut is being officially released for the first time later this month. Earlier this week it debuted at a theater in LA. A brief overview of the history of this controversial version, as well as a review of the new version, fosuing on the new scenes can be found at this link. Here's a highlight:

We are treated to many new sequences throughout the entire film and all are a rare treat. I would suggest you watch the Richard Lester version first to really get the full effect of the Donner cut. The most notable additions to this cut are the 15 minutes of never before seen footage of Marlon Brando as Jor-El. Now restored, these scenes in the Fortress of Solitude amplify and deepen the bond between father and son. In the Lester version, actress Susannah York as Kal-El's mother Lara took the place of Brando ... Thankfully this time out, the Phantom Zone criminals are treated with a bit more menace than that of the menacing buffoons they were turned into in the Lester version.

I can't wait for this.
