Superman Redeemed

I thought this edit was alright, but I just couldn't get into the edit. I swear the aspect ratio changed a few times and other minor annoyances kind of ruined the edit for me.

You'll believe a man can fly! This edit earns a place in the line-up of Superman movies, replacing much of III and all of IV.

Comparing ADigitalMan's Redeemed to Dangermouse (for III), Batson's Quest for Cash (for IV) and the originals, this edit offers the most enjoyment and least cringing. Spoiler alert:
- Linking Evil Superman to Nuclear Man is brilliant. It allows the stories to be merged and the transition is excellent.
- Do I miss Richard Pryor? Yes, but his story was separate from Superman's until the final battle. Leaving in any Pryor would have required leaving in that Evil Robot battle, including Vaughn as not-actually-smart and unconvincing villain.

The DVD quality is acceptable. A blu-ray remake of this would be quite awesome.

Excelent Edition, Very Creative, I just did not like it a bit were the opening credits.
Congratulations.

You will believe a sequel can not suck! (plot spoilers ahead)

The original Superman III was a SERIOUS misfire, and Superman IV was execrable. Now can you fix them?

By removing the lame subplots and sticking with the comic-book action! On its own merits, this movie would be rated a 6-7, but compared to the originals this is an amazing accomplishment! Starting with the S3 Smallville plot, we have an amazing restored scene of Otis & Ms. Tessmacher springing Luthor from prison. His S4 plot for creating Nuclear Man unfolds slowly, and is very well paced. Adigitalman pulls off an audacious coup when he includes the Paris H-bomb scene (removed from his excellent S2 edit) as the trigger for Superman's "Quest for Peace".

But ADM's eye for story connections hits its zenith when he makes Nuclear Man's poison wound (S4) the cause of Superman's heel turn (S3). This is inspired storytelling, and it makes these two movies a single story that serves as the fitting finale that Christopher Reeve deserved.

ADM has saved these two movies. Masterful editing fuses a great Smallville plot with a pretty interesting nuclear arms story. Having the separation caused by the bad guy was brilliant. I love how we see so clearly that Lois loves Superman but Lana loves Clark Kent. The ending with the implication that Clark and Lana are engaged is great and made me very happy. The best possible Superman trilogy is the original theatrical, ADM's edit of 2, and this movie. When I feel the urge to watch Superman, ADM is who I go to.
