Superman II - Blu-Ray - Region B

Expertly set-up from the first film, this goes to give Superman something more than the one dimension of bad guys available. The flaw in the charcter is that only one baddie is prominent (Lex Luthor) whereas Batman has several.

It has more action than the first film, therefore younger viewers will be more likely to sit through it, although without the first the character interplay would leave you cold.

I chose the original cinema cut over Donner's rather unfinished and quality-diminished Directors cut (although you can't buy the original on its own, you have to buy the sodding box set!). You can see why Donner was unhappy with the final cut, it does lack that certain something.

The same plus and minuses again on the Blu-ray front as number one.
