Superb restoration-the original negatives were in pretty bad shape, from what I've read. Some purists have griped about the use of new sound effects stems, but I think they're terrific. The new footage is actually pretty good as well-more than once I've viewed a "directors cut" with new footage and it's obvious why it ended up on the cutting room floor in the first place, but that's not the case with Superman. I particularly liked the additional fortress of solitude scenes with Brando. The supplements are excellent, too.
