Synopsis:

This edit differs in the event after Lois Lane falls underground in the cracks during the earthquake. I took footage and scenes from the other movies to make Superman ultimately not care about saving the world.


Intentions:

I have always liked the dark interpretation of Superman in part III, but felt that the storyline was hokey, so I wanted to come up with a way to use that footage and create a way darker tone for part II, using the events from part I to set things into motion. I also needed a break from editing Heavy Star Wars as they are very time consuming to get the cuts and edits right, so I wanted something different and this cut is more relaxed.


Change List:

Scenes cut from the movie were long drawn out dialogue, still keeping the meat and potatoes of the story, and all the stuff that happened after Lois Lane "dies". Also, I added footage from Superman II to make it seem like Superman and Lois slept on the first date, and added the scenes of Zod et all arriving on Earth during Lex Luthor's plan to destroy California.


Additional Notes:

I used Adobe Premiere to edit, and the only real basic approach I took on this was to keep on editing, as it was a long movie. There were a lot of silly scenes which I removed to keep the tone serious as possible.
