A very enjoyable ride for someone who's revisiting these films for the first time in years. Despite the dated special effects and some random powers from Superman, the narrative of Donner's films was its strongest assets (though I still hate that flimsy time travel ending. If Superman can just turn back time, what are the consequences for anything if he has a fix-it button?)
The cast was great, Christopher Reeve's performance was legendary, and Gene Hackman's Lex Luthor was hilarious. John Williams's score was a masterpiece.
The editing of the two together into one was fantastic, but the difference in video quality of the re-inserted deleted scenes were very noticeable (though that's not the fault of the editor, you work with what you have to work with.)
A very solid effort, and highly recommended to anyone who still believes a man can fly.
