Superman: The Movies I, II, & Donner Cut

I loved Superman when I was a little girl, primarily because he looked like my dad, and everyone knows that dads have super powers! My best friend and I used to play Superfriends. We constantly fought over who got to be Wonder Woman. She usually won because she had Wonder Woman underoos, and I didn't. I had to be Firestar, who was reportedly Spiderman's girlfriend. (Not true, but we were little kids and as a red-head she was clearly Mary Jane's alter-ego. I also believed that Wonder Woman was Lois Lane's alter-ego, and that one of the major complications in the Clark Kent/Superman/Lois Lane/Wonder Woman relationship is that they BOTH had secret identities and were hiding their alter-egos from one another. Almost like Cat Woman/Batman, but on the right side of the law.)

So, it comes as a surprise to everyone that I have not seen the Superman movies. I fixed that problem this weekend watching not only Superman, but the SII: Richard Donner Cut, and SII: Theatrical release.
