Problems with Superman Ultimate edition DVD...
Just an FYI, in case anyone bought the big 14-disk edition...

I picked up the Donner Cut of Superman II last week. That was awesome. And since I already owned the original '78 Superman, I now own the only two worth buying.
III, IV and the new one all suck. |

Mine should be arriving today, then I can call the number for my replacement disks. I suppose they expect you to send back the ones that were missing content at your own expense though right?

EDIT: No, you don't have to send the defective ones back at your expense. They'll send an envelope, you put the bad disks in it and send it back to them. Once they receive the envelope they'll send the replacement disks. |

Here is the phone number to Frank Kraus, V.P. of Sales 818-954-6000 and here is his direct email, which I am certain will be monitored by his personal assistant, frank.kraus@warnerbros.com Have fun giving him hell. I know I will. |

Yes, I do want a copy of 2 plus the Donner cut. |

Well, finished the Donner cut and found it to be much better than the original cut. There were some interesting twists and maybe a plot hole but overall I liked it very much. Makes for a little bit darker movie too. Took some of the corniness out of the original and gave Superman a more selfish side.
|
My copy of Rush Replay X3 has been a great investment as well.

Of course there were dumb parts and plot holes, but this was a vast improvement over the Lester version. |

Yes, technically, it is better but I do love the Superman franshise as a whole. |
Actually, the last Batman movie is the best superhero movie ever, IMO. The Spiderman movies are in the same ballpark, but really aren't all that close.

I own it, I keep putting off calling that number, probably do it tomorrow, hopefully. Not that either thing really seems to be a huge deal... I mean I want the correct disks just to have the right thing, but I can't imagine I'm going to watch the commentary to Superman III too many times, haha.
But there's so much stuff in that box set, it's ridiculous really. If you want to see something really hilarious, or terrible, go check out the "Superpup" TV pilot from 1958 on the "You Will Believe" disc. Doesn't take long to see why that thing never aired, haha. I thought the behind the scenes documentary for Superman Returns was excellent too. There's still so much stuff I haven't watched yet though. And I liked the Donner cut, kinda rough around the edges in parts but they definitely put heart into the movie. The Jor-El material might be the most powerful sequence in any of the Superman movies, and they cut it out because of money, that's crazy. That made the whole movie for me. It was pretty good considering what they had to work with really, also kind of sad to know how great it would've been had Donner been allowed to finish it. I'm sure some people have kind of put the first movie, the Donner cut, and Superman Returns into their own little trilogy now. I'm glad Bryan Singer will be allowed to make the knock-down blow out sequel Donner was never allowed to make. |

I have not seen the newest Superman, but still remember fondly the first one, which I saw as a kid. Reeves was a great choice. Superman 2 I enjoyed very much also. |

For the most part, I am too. Guess I just haven't seen Superman: The Movie for such a long time I allowed myself to forget something pretty big. |
I don't care what anyone says, Superman Returns ****ing rocks!! I love that movie, and can't wait until the next one!
|
Quote:
I don't think I would go as far as to say it "rocks" but it was great. I still like Superman: The Movie and now Superman II: The Donner Cut the most. |
Here is an excellent breakdown of the Donner Cut on Wiki.

14 disks! That's insane. What's going to happen when the next Superman movie comes out? Do they put out a 15 disk collection? ;)
|
I am really anxious to see the Donner cut now, it sounds so much better.
Why would the 1st idiot chop so many of Brando's scenes??? Huge mistake. As far as the Superman Returns, i enjoyed it but Routh is no Reeves. |
Quote:
They cut Brando's scenes because of money. And the Donner cut is considerably better. Except for the VERY end. I have problems there... SPOILER: Highlight the text if you want to see it... Superman turns back time again... I didn't like it. With the big emphasis made about why Superman shouldn't do it in the first one and what a mistake it would be, why would he do it AGAIN? I understand the reason they did it is because Tom Mankiewicz thought that Clark Kent should never kiss Lois Lane, that only Superman should ever kiss her, and that's why they went with that ending (they scripted both, and Lester used the magic kiss)... |

Did anyone order these replacement discs? If so, are they worth it for the missing content at all?

What did you guys think of the Donner cut of Superman II? I was disappointed. I had been led to believe it was virtually an entirely different film. It wasn't. A few scenes here and there, and an ending that didn't make sense. The Marlon Brando scenes were nice, but other than that....

And I got the replacement disks, I'm not sure that they made a huge difference, but I'm not going to spend hours watching the special features to Superman III. Plus I guess the audio mix on the first movie wasn't the true theatrical mix... I got them just so I have the "official" set, and it was free, so it wasn't like it cost me anything. |

Oh come on....III isnt that bad it it?? I actually sort of like the dueling Clark Vs. bad Superman stuff... Quote:
Is this the same remix that was done for the 2001 release? I actually own that one. I like how they remixed the sound and made it louder, but i know alot of purists were upset.... I havent seen the Donner Cut yet... |
