      Two kisses

      When thinking about the miraculous movement of the cat's tail, I suddenly remembered the two kisses in the movie "Superman" a long time ago. A long time ago, but never forgotten. Superman gave up his superpowers in order to fall in love with the female reporter. At first it was good to get along with him, but when the disaster came, he was helpless. The female reporter was disappointed. The two began to argue constantly, and the relationship broke out. In fact, she loves the superman who...

      When Superman loses his superpower...

      This one very well continued the plot of Super 1, Superman began to fall in love, and he chose the latter between super power and love, and he can be easily defeated as an ordinary person and can no longer protect everything. At this time, a huge crisis hit, and he regained his superpower to save mankind, a very routine heroic story. There is also a three-player villain added in this movie. The ability is super strong. The fighting part is a lot more exciting. It is said that the villain in...

      Director's Cut

      The ending is still a big move, reverse the time, so the crystal hole has not been destroyed by himself?

      Because I don't want to buy another video member of a certain website, the director's cut version I watched is super clear in 4k.

      Reeve, superman forever! This is true both on the screen and in life.

      I actually like Clark. Belongs to the cute line.

      The villain Luther is also very cute...

      The special effects are natural. Special effects older than me are...

      When Superman was knocked to the ground by ordinary people

      After all, Superman also wants to live the life of an ordinary person, without having to take on so many responsibilities, without running around every day, all he needs to do every day is to hold his lover’s hand in a dull way to see the sunrise and sunset, and come back from get off work. Normal days after washing clothes and cooking.

      Until one day, Superman, who had become an ordinary man, was knocked to the ground by a gangster. When Superman punched, I felt that the scene of his...

      When Superman is disabled

      Superman can be remade, the old version of the plot is too messy, and a lot of special effects look awkward, although it was already a very high level at that time.
      Among them, you can go back in time when you revolve around the earth. This ability is even more nonsense. When you found that you couldn't beat the three guys, then you can turn around. What are you waiting for?
       
      Talk about other things.
      You said, if Superman really loses his power, will Louis still...

      Although the rating is not very high, it is very beautiful. It's why Superman is so tolerant to the criminal. Maybe the criminal's funny atmosphere is not...

      Two and a half stars, there is a superman's old enemy, who is also a Kryptonian general, but the filming is lackluster, not as good as the previous one. Luthor looks like a clown. Despite saying so many shortcomings, Reeve's Superman is really attractive, with blue eyes, the dull big Clark and the divine Superman are completely like two people, damn, their real name is jealous of Louise! PS has been advertising since 1988, so I ask you if the Coke billboard is a real...

      The footage of modifying the President Hill statue is still fresh in my memory. I watched it on CCTV8 many times when I was a child, and I remember that there were always movies at two or three o'clock in the afternoon during the summer vacation. Now think about good fans, TV channels broadcast...

    Movie plot

    A group of terrorists occupied the Eiffel Tower and threatened to blow it up with a hydrogen bomb, in order to coerce the French government into complying with their demands. And Louis Lana, a female journalist whom Superman admired, went deep into the tiger's den in order to be able to win the Pulitzer Prize. The situation is very critical. Once again, Superman arrived in time, rescued Louis from the falling elevator, and transported...

    Behind the scenes gags

    After Marlon Brando, who plays Joe Al, wins a lawsuit against the producer, the producer cuts out all the scenes where he appears and replaces it with Superman's mother. Although Brando did not appear in the film, his lawsuit still won him dividends.
    In 1984, ABC TV broadcasted a 30-minute cut of "Superman II", most of which were directed by Richard D. Schwartzberg.
    In the initial draft of the movie script, there are four Krypton star...

    Background creation

    Tom Mankiewicz ( Tom Mankiewicz) was hired to direct Mario Puzo's original Indian version of the "Superman" script, and adapted it into the "Superman Sequel" script. Mankiewicz removed most of the Puzo-style vulgarity and added relevant religious hints as requested by the producer, but he was later fired and replaced by Dick Lester ( Richard Lester) .
    Dick Lester had a great disagreement with the epic video style established by Richard...

    Evaluation action

    In addition to maintaining the standard in special effects, director Dick Lester strengthened Superman's description of human nature in this sequel. The comedy effect is also strong, and the plot of the movie is quite ironic. (Rogerebert commented) 
    The transition between the film and the first part of "Superman" is natural and smooth. The storyline is more compact and the rhythm is faster. At the same time, Christopher Reeve’s...

    • [Eve Teschmacher & Luthor are in a balloon over the arctic, after escaping the penetentiary & leaving Otis behind]

      Lex Luthor: What else is ballast for?

    • Clark Kent: [returning from the bathroom, Clark discovers that his seat next to Lois has been taken] Excuse me sir, you're sitting in my seat.

      Rocky: [referring to the bathroom Clark just exited] You're seat's in there, four eyes.

      Clark Kent: Somebody ought to teach you some manners, sir.

      Rocky: Oh, yeah? Well, let me know when he comes in.

    • Perry White: If Paris is going to go kablooey I want my best reporter right in the middle of it... No offense, Kent. You're good, but Lois Lane's better.

      Clark Kent: No, I mean uh, isn't that a bit dangerous, sir?

      Perry White: That goes with the territory, Kent. Don't worry; if I know Lois Lane, she'll not only come back with a Pulitzer Prize story, but a one-on-one interview with the hydrogen bomb titled "What Makes Me Tick."
