Superman II
What a movie.... Spectacular for the time, probably terrible today...? :P
Nah! I really love the Christopher Reeve's Superman movies, even if they're a load of Pre-Crisis bologna with reversing-time-memory-wiping-kiss-cellophane-symbol powers, and all that other kooky junk... but they're so great because of it too! :P
For me, Superman II was the first Superman film I had seen as a kid (just after the S:TAS movies of course), and at the time, I absolutely loved it! Looking back on them now I can certainly say that it's not quite worth their merit considering that Empire Strikes Back came out the same year, and looked significantly better :P
Now that may have to do with the back-to-back filming Richard Donner did, with Superman and Superman II but at any rate, the Superman films only seemed to decline in quality as they went along :P
Superman II is my still my favorite, with the Superman I being a close second, and I have some really fond memories watching them. So It's shocking that I haven't tried to do anything like this yet! The Gene Simmons HairMetal Batsuit is a perfect torso for the OG Zod and I know I'm not the first to use the idea so don't sue me! If you know who started it let me know in the comments (I just can't seem to find the first person to give credit to!)
But I'll wrap it up here! Not much to say about this other than it was fun trip down memory lane, re-watching the old films and recreating a 1970's New Yor- ...er I mean Metropolis :P
Also while doing a bit of research I stumbled upon awesome pusits Richard Donner MF's by Kaiju_Dan! They're really great and you should all go check them out! flic.kr/p/LiM8HV
