basically the donner cut turns superman 2 from a good film to a great one.
basically it cuts all the needless scenes out but adds more meaningful scenes wich actually serve the plot and characters.
i still think zod is an oke villain but i think its cool they explained how clark got his powers back.(also watch my newest film https://boxd.it/9XU0h7 )
