I thought that Superman II was a better film than its predecessor. But I don't know how much of that is due to the director, or just the inherent lack of exposition and backstory.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Donner's an okay director and has made a few good movies but give me Lester any day.
That said, SUPERMAN was better than SUPERMAN III (SUPERMAN II is my favorite of the three, however).

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Well, that part is kind of unforgetable.

There were Ed Wood movies better than Superman III.

And III is better than IV.

I'd argue that point, Tom. I at least had fun MST3King IV at the theater with a pal, but III was just horribly unwatchable to me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Were they as bad as the Rocky movie where Rocky fought Communism?
