Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut

Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut (2006) is a superhero sci-fi action film you can watch online on iFILM. Director Richard Donner assembled this version from footage shot in 1977–1978 — material that was locked away when the studio removed him from the project before he could finish editing the original sequel.

Clark Kent, played by Christopher Reeve, gives up his powers entirely to be with Lois Lane (Margot Kidder). Bad timing. Three Kryptonian criminals — General Zod (Terence Stamp), Ursa, and Non — break free from the Phantom Zone and move to conquer Earth unopposed. The most striking restoration here is Marlon Brando: his scenes as Jor-El were cut from the 1980 theatrical release but appear in full in Donner's cut, reshaping the emotional core of the story.

This is less a remake and more a correction — the film Donner had in mind when he was shooting both Superman pictures back to back. The tone, pacing, and ending differ noticeably from the version most audiences know. Stream Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut (2006) online on iFILM in high quality.
