Closed Captioned; Soundtrack English; Soundtrack French; English Subtitles Once again mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent (Christopher Reeve), hiding his identity as Superman, must fight for law and order. This time around, a triumvirate of nasty villains from the planet Krypton break free of their dimensional prison and hightail it to Earth, where they enjoy the same superpowers as Superman. Meanwhile, Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) has discovered that Superman and Clark are the same person, so Superman debates whether to give up his abilities to become a normal man and share his life with Lois. Richard Lester (A HARD DAY'S NIGHT) takes the helm for this sequel, which is arguably the equal of the original hit film. Superman II Reviews: "SUPERMAN II is a marvelous toy. It's funny, it's full of tricks and it manages to be royally entertaining..."

Superman II Movie Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)   A Sequel Better Than The Original
As with the three original "Star War" movies, where the second was the best of the three, Superman II is better than the it's predecessor. No need to even discuss numbers III and IV, which were junk. If you want great villains and a neat story line for a superhero, you can't beat Superman II.

 Not good.
Superman II is a mess. You can tell the difference so easily between the Richard Donner and the Richard Lester scenes. It could have been so good coming off the first film, which is top notch quality. Sorry,but I have to respectfully disagree with the other reviews. You just can't top the first.

better the second time around
superman 2 is and excellent movie . more action , super villians and story that just flows. christopher reeve as usual with all four films delivers again. as with gene hackman as lex luther. but terence stamp almost steals the show as zod. margot kidder is ok . they should have got another actress but she's passable. much of this movie as i understand was film along with the first movie. that might be why this movie works so well. many of these actors were at the top of their game. It's understanable why i gave this movie 5 stars it's just a shame i couldnt give the next two film 5 stars

Superman 2 is one of those few sequals that is almost better than the first one.The villains are better and the action is greater.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Essential Cinema
If you don't have parts 1 & 2 in your collection, you must be from another planet (and not Krypton either). For the day, the action scenes were well-executed. Parts one and two were really one big episode cut into two. So I believe it's moot to bicker about which was better. And Superman showed that when faced with superior brawn...brains win every time.

It is there that he learns--through a link to his long-dead birth parents--of his superhuman abilities and his responsibility to preserve and protect "truth, justice and the American Way."

Superman II DVD
$10.25 
Based on the first novel in Christopher Paolini's popular INHERITANCE trilogy, ERAGON is a fantastical adventure in a vein similar to that of the LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy and THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA. A classic story of a quest driven by destiny and set in a land where elves, magicians, and humans live side by side, the battle between good and evil, innocence and cynicism, is taken up once again. John Malkovitch camps it up as the evil King Galbatorix, a former guardian of peace who long ago went over to the dark side. He now rules over a land from which dragons have all but disappeared, until humble farm boy Eragon (newcomer Edward Speelers) happens upon a mysterious blue object that turns out to be a dragon egg. Eragon befriends the charming dragon cub, Saphira (voiced with aplomb by Rachel Weisz), and becomes her rider, designating him as the principal warrior in the fight against evil. Jeremy Irons steals the show as the wise and mysterious old man who becomes Eragon's mentor, guiding him through the tasks of saving a princess (Sienna Guillory) battling an evil sorcerer (Robert Carlyle, TRAINSPOTTING), and fending off hordes of the hideous Urgals. All of this will strike the seasoned fantasy viewer as familiar territory, but the formula is given life by veterans Malkovitch and Irons, ...
