Superman II had a slightly chequered history. Director Richard Donner shot it and Superman back to back, but after disagreements with the producers, he was replaced on the second movie by Richard Lester. Now, after much fan clamouring, he was given a chance to have another go and the results are now being shown in select cinemas/theaters and on DVD.
IGN has some clips from the new print so you can decide which version you like better. Actually, I think I like Lester’s version, but your mileage may vary.

I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
