I had only one major problem with this edit: The way the depowering scene was handled. I agree with keeping it pre-coital rather than post-coital, but there's no reason for Lois to be dressed in Superman's shirt and then, two minutes later, she's putting on a robe/gown/whatever. At first doesn't seem possible to work around. The only other fan-edit of Superman II I've seen is "The Booshman Cut." While the edit as a whole is, in my opinion, unfortunately sub-par, Booshman interwove the footage in such a way that Lois is always wearing the robe and it works perfectly, flawlessly, just like it was shot that way. I'm often bothered very badly by choppy edits in fan-edited movies (such as the bar scene in your Pearl Harbor, ADM) and Booshman's edit of that scene was perfect.
The only other problem I had - and this is minor - was that you left the toilet scene in the Fortress of Solitude in ("I found it! ... I think.") - unfortunately I don't see a way around it that doesn't make a choppy edit.
Having said all that, your edit was amazingly fantastic - since I just recently got a widescreen HDTV I wish the release could have been a dual-layer, as I've found that all my single-layer backups or edits don't exactly look great on the new TV.
Since 2/3 of my post seems to be naysaying, I'll mention a few of my favorite parts:
- The inclusion of the Arctic Police scene while seamlessly cutting the Smallville Smasher line
- The seamless cutting of the heat-vision when Lois falls
- The immensely superior pacing over the "Donner Cut"
- The extension of the East Houston scenes
- The cut from the Arctic Police scene to after the Fortress was "destroyed" - I forgot it was supposed to be gone until well into their talk
- Something no one else will notice but I loved: the inclusion of the Donner Cut credits AND the Lester Cut credits.
Among many other things, but those were the ones that stood out to me that I can think of right this moment.
Excellent job, ADM. 9.5/10 - I'm downloading Redeemed as we speak and am greatly looking forward to seeing it.
