SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE: EXTENDED CUT & SPECIAL EDITION

SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE – EXTENDED CUT REVIEWED

“Superman” finally gets the ABC TV cut delivered onto HD formats. Honestly, this is the first version of the movie I can ever remember watching. Younger readers won’t remember a time when Network TV got extended cuts to pad movies out for 2 nights. This was a magical era where now people in their 30s-50s are bitching about not having Scotty’s nephew’s scenes in proper HD. It was a time when studios saw the chance to stuff deleted scenes back into a movie for repackaging.

The only thing it’s missing are commercials for old video games and affordably priced sedans. The second disc is the special edition that has widely been available in the Superman Anthology. If you’re a DC Comics movie completist, then this will be your personal grail. If you’re a casual fan, you’ll wonder why the nerds in your live are squealing over the extended flying sequence. Is it ridiculous? Yeah, but so are period comic book movies.

Enjoy Richard Donner’s best film with a degree of earnest fandom.
