a5c7b9f00b Picking up where "Superman: The Movie" left off, three criminals, General Zod (<a href=">Terence Stamp), Ursa, (<a href=">Sarah Douglas), and Non (<a href=">Jack O'Halloran) from the planet Krypton are released from the Phantom Zone by a nuclear explosion in space. They descend upon Earth where they could finally rule. Superman, meanwhile, is in love with Lois Lane (<a href=">Margot Kidder), who finds out who he really is. Lex Luthor (<a href=">Gene Hackman) escapes from prison and is determined to destroy Superman by joining forces with the three criminals.
Terrorists have taken over the Eiffel Tower, and threaten to blow it up with a hydrogen bomb. Once again, Superman is there and saves Paris by throwing the bomb into outer space. Unfortunately, the explosion releases the three bad guys,General Zod (<a href=">Terence Stamp), Ursa, (<a href=">Sarah Douglas), and Non (<a href=">Jack O'Halloran) imprisoned in the first Superman movie. They then move in on Earth, taking it over, but little do they know who they will have to defeat.
After all,it's writing an old fan of the only real Golden Age of the Man of Steel(71-86)the Swan-Anderson-Oskner combination!,some moments reminded this pretty epoque(a french word),and the movie really started in a same french way,Lois Lane(Kidder) climbing up the Eiffel Tower in Paris even the tower of steel was taken by terrorists holding hostages menacing to burst the "Light-City"(remember LA is the City of Light)but Clark (Reeve)notices when the boss Perry White(a correct Cooper) informed him about the Lois' obsession :The PULITZER,taking care about the hard situation Clark in an unforgettable sequence in a dessert alley changes his suit to be Superman flying down to Paris,meanwhile the subversives get loose the hostages,but a bad maneuver puts Lois Lane going down under the elevator of the tower,but Superman rescues her and in a careless action sends the elevator with the nuclear bomb into the sidereal space,setting free the 3 worst enemies of his father:General Zod,a fascist military,Ursa a reckless woman killer of men and kids in the vanished Kripton,Non-el a muted hulk with no brain only brutal force;Superman blinded and unwarned of the imminent jeopardy goes to the earth without noticing about his lethal mistake.<br/><br/>A succession of events in Canada will reveal to Lois Lane the real identity of Superman/Clark Kent,but in the moon the 3 doomed villains slay in a merciless way 3 astronauts(2 American and 1 soviet)discovering their powers leading up to the earth with thirst of domination and to overwhelm innocent people,but Lex Luthor escaping from the jail,goes to the Fortress of Solitude obtaining explanation about the gamma waves of his gadget:3 wicked beings will come to the earth,with the same powers of Superman but the same despise of Luthor to the human race,Luthor will run to make contact,Superman romancing with Lois doesn't care about the disaster,and searching his happiness,he exposes to the Chamber of the Red Sun placed in the Fortress to get marry Lois, but the villains arriving to the Earth(Zod challenges Christ walking on the water like the Messiah did it before!)wiped out a small town and even the US Army surrendered to the diabolical threesome.<br/><br/>And the 3 zone-rs destroy the White House after to massacre the National Guard,then the alien General face to face with the president proclaims the so known words:"KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!",the President said:"Oh,God!"but the mean alien replied:"ZOD!"(now challenging God!),in a dark highway Lois and a defenseless Clark go to a bar trying to take a break after a lovely night(¿?) in the Fortress,but one spoiled truck driver tries to hook Lois,and Clark was knocked out tiring to save the honor of his mistreated honey,when the bad "trucker" left,the bleeding face of Clark and his pain will put him in doubt about his troubled decision, the TV on the shelf of the bar will display the Terms of Submission for the General Zod,the President of the USA,after to read the document sends a messing S.O.S:"Superman where are you now?",and Zod exclaims the challenge "Come to me Superman,Kneel before Zod,ZOD!!".<br/><br/>A repented Clark comes back to the Fortress,and at the White House Lex Luthor pacts with Zod to trap the Son of Jor-El,and a nervous Lois waits in "The Planet" a miracle,the zone-rs and Luthor come to the building, and when the 3 aliens were to untie a savage slaughter with the journalists,Superman just arrives on time to save the lives of the poor humans,and inviting to the zone-rs to fight in the heights,Zod says:"Come to me Son of Jor-El,kneel before Zod!",and the brief battle was won by the zone-rs because they discovered the tender but weak heart of the caped one to care the mankind,and watching the great danger of death exposing the people to the unchained aggression from the zone-rs,Superman felt to cannot stop his foes,and he fled to his fortress,and a disappointed people insulted the hero,Zod decides to take Lois like Superman's handicap,and Luthor guiding them to the Fortress will try to get advantage of the affair,after to menace to kill Lois,Zod decides to make Superman to be his slave,only in 'reward' to not annihilate the human race,but Luthor menaced to be killed by the evil aliens,betrays Superman to put him before the red sun's beams in a big deal with Australia like his bounty. But Superman changed in reverse the effects of the Chamber and the zone-rs were defeated,and Luthor jailed again,this time Clark takes revenge of the 'trucker' and paying to the elder owners the damages,after the patriot act in the White House.<br/><br/>I write this on 25th August of 2006,and even all the mistakes and deleted scenes made by Donner;Richard Lester did the best of all the Superman's movies,it could better,maybe with more zone-rs(Jax-Ur,Varox,Kru-el and the real danger:Faora Hul-Ul an expert WOMAN in Klurkor the Kripton's deadliest martial art capable to kill Superman in an easy way,according to the patterns of the comic-books of those times)and maybe not so much humor and fancy romancingcheesy scenes,but Terence Stampthe General Zod and Sarah DouglasUrsa robbed the movie from the same Superman,hard to find so giant performance in another comic-book adaptation,but certain licenses made by the screenwriters and Lester twisted a little bit the fidelity to the hero;nevertheless after to watch the infamous "Superman Returns" the result is:THIS OLD MOVIE IS SUPERIOR WITH A LOWER BUDGET AND INFERIOR TECHNICAL RESOURCES THAN THE ILL-FATED SEQUEL WRECKED BY BRYAN SINGER AND HIS SMARTLESS TEAM!!!
Arguably the best of the Super-flicks with Reeve reprising the title role amiss all sorts of the backstage disruption. Fans will know that whatever the credits say this is Richard Donner's film, albeit modified a touch by replacement director Dick Lester. Usually a change of face behind the camera can make for an uneven spectacle, witness for hotch potch that is Casino Royale (1967) for example, but the miracle of Superman II is that it's coherent, tightly focused stuff – the changes in tone between the martyred Donner and his less talented successor barely notable amongst the movie's many pleasures.<br/><br/>Of course it would have been hard for Lester to ruin the second film when the bulk of it had been done nearly 18 months previously. It would be like you building your own home from scratch, adding all the fixtures and fittings and then having a heart attack only for the bloke who did the painting and guttering while you were hospital taking credit for the finished abode. In light of this "directed by Richard Lester" may be the most spiteful credit in Hollywood history…some would say even on the movies he did direct himself. Its all down to the Salkinds of course, those Icelandic loonies who could be thankful that the man they hated had done all the groundwork, effectively guaranteeing the sequel's success prior to completion. Everything memorable in this Superman is his doing – the tender scenes between Lois and Clarke, the climatic fight between Terrance Stamp's General Zod, Ursa and Non and the man of steel and the fortress of solitude end game – all played straight using Donner's mantra of dramatic integrity over weightless camp. All of this begs the question of what Lester actually did to earn his director's credit? Not enough would be a fair answer and the real director could and should have sued the super-arse off all concerned.<br/><br/>Memorable for many reasons, not least Stamp's scene chewing performance - "Kneel before Zod!" has entered the lexicon of popular culturemuchKryptonite and the red cape; Superman II succeeds in developing the relationship between Reeve and Kidder while effortlessly extending the first film's epic reach. Yes, you can feel the qualitywellthe width with this one. There's almost nothing wrong with it but if we have to nickpick and we do, Brando's backstage greed saps the re-worked opening of its significanceJor-El is not present thus the 'punish the son of our gaoler' angle that explains Zod's hatred of Superman seems forced and would Supes really go back and kick the bar brawler's backside at the end? I'm glad he did but it feels naughty, Superman having a self-indulgent moment – mind you it is consistent with the overall theme of dispatching bullies both alien and domestic that fills the film's last half-hour. A great sequel all toldwella cautionary tale about the pitfalls of romancing some girl while the world is being destroyed by intergalactic super-criminals, but evenaudiences sat down to enjoy it they had no idea that the source of its success had already been shown the door long before it had hit the cinemas. It would take another three years and Richard Pryor before the consequences of the Salkind's actions became clear – a destructive force in Super-terms that General Zod could only have dreamt about: Superman III – the producers crushing the audience's hand for a full two hours.
It brings the fantastic into our everyday lives; it delights in showing us the reaction of the man on the street to Superman's latest stunt.
Not exactly. The cellophane "S" logo and the multiple holographic projections were traps Superman had prepared for the villains. This is confirmed by a line from the shooting script: "Zod begins to realize that Superman, on his home turf, has powers and devices at his command beyond their comprehension."<br/><br/>As for the villains, the lasers they shoot were intendedheat vision, while their "disappearing" power was not teleportation but super-speed. Although it was writtensuch in the script, these powers were not accurately depicted on screen.<br/><br/> Yes, but it was rarely used and later dropped. While not specifically stated, it is implied that he drained the power of the green crystal to restore his powers. In the screenplay, andoriginally filmed, Jor-El used the remainder of his life force (from that crystal) to give his abilities once again. This was finally shown in the 2006 "Donner Cut". A comparison between the Theatrical Version and the Richard Donner Cut is more than difficult,both version are very different from each other. Not only the usual additional scenes were added, it is almost a completely new movie. Parts of the story are shown at completely different points in time, other sequences were completely removed and some new sequences were added. In total the Donner Cut is approx. 11 minutes shorter than the Theatrical Version. Due to the humanisation process being spread out all over the vast interior of the Fortress of Solitude, rather than heavily concentrated into one small chamberit was for Superman himself, it is feasible to conclude that the pain inflicted would be far less noticeable to them.
