    Superman II

    Movie » Superman II released on June 19, 1981.

    Although Superman II was shot partially in step with the first movie, director Richard Lester replaced Donner behind the camera. The film's plot picks up immediately after the original film. Despite the behind the scenes drama, the film was a box office smash.

    Great Sequel

    LEX LUTHOR is pretty much relegated to comic relief in this one, although he does point the real villains, three Kryptonian criminals who have escaped from the Phantom Zone.

The bus scene still baffles me. If you want to watch a comic book movie with a story. Check it out.
