Superman Returns: Kryptonite Runtime Edition

by Kemposato (who has also created Blade Pureblood Edition : http://fanedit.org/283/)

what was done:
Bryan Singer and his people did an amazing job bringing Superman back to the silver screen. Was it what everyone hoped for? No, certainly not, but I left the theater and subsequent viewings feeling satisfied?with one major complaint: 2.5 hours with the story they were trying to tell? I couldn?t see a reason for a runtime that high with the plotting of the film, so I set out to trim the sucker down as much as possible. Unfortunately, the DVD surround audio track contains a center channel that is anything BUT clean, so a comprehensive re-edit was impossible, but I feel I?ve done quality work given what I had to work with for raw audio materials. IMHO, this film would have played a lot better had the tempo of the film not been an homage to the pacing of Donner?s original. As wonderful as many believe it to be, boy is Donner?s film plodding along at a lethargic pace. As this FanEdit suggests, the same story could have been told at least 24 minutes faster without a comprehensive re-edit of the film. With a comprehensive re-cutting? Who knows! Is this FanEdit BETTER than the original film? I haven?t a clue, really? but at least it?s FASTER.

*Removal/trimming of excessively long, indulgent, and/or repetitive shots
*Overall increase in the film's pace wherever possible
