If it is made without Jackson, the only way I'll be going into the theater is if McKellen and Holm return in thier roles.

While donner being fired was a tragedy I thought superman 2 turned out alright. At the time I thought it was the better superman movie. It still is IMO but the jokes aren't as funny now. The real tragedy is that because of the success of Superman 2 they kept richard lester around to do part 3 alone.
