11. The sequence were Clark is begging for his powers back off his father is truly missing the Brando footage Clark just finding the green crystal leaves it unsure how he gets his power back. The Donner/Brando footage explains it way better.

100% agreed. The Brando footage really needs to be here. Not to mention, it's one of my favorite parts of the Donner cut.

(NOTE that I didn't watch the entire thing, I mostly skimmed through, but I do plan on sitting and watching the whole thing in the future - this is just what I noticed in skimming)

I also think something needs to be done to smooth out the incredibly harsh transition between late '70s effects and terrible 2000's CG in the rocket sequence

Also, I don't know what to think about the ending - on one hand, it's a pretty cool lead-in to "Returns." On the other hand, I hate it when movies reference a future sequel - that's one of the things I loved about "The Dark Knight," that they were so focused on making ONE good movie that they didn't try to lead in to a sequel, they just made this one movie the best it could be. That's just a pet peeve of mine about any movie, though.

And it seems odd that Lois would be left remembering who Superman was, though you set it up for "Returns," where she doesn't.

Finally, I agree about the Luthor/Fortress of Solitude thing - why the hell did he go there, and how the hell did he know it existed?

Oh, and if anything can be done to make the Donner Cut of II's Brando footage match the first movie's, that'd be nice, too - the face doesn't quite have the same look to it.
