Am I the only one that likes the Lester version better?
It seems that a lot of people like Donner's version better. But I thought the comedic qualities of Lester's film added to it (the wig flying off the man, the man still talking when the phone booth falls, etc.) Also, Lester's film didn't have that ridiculous cop-out of Superman flying around the world, reversing its rotation, and changing time. It was silly in the first Superman movie. Doing it again makes it seem that there's no need for Superman to get into conflicts. Just spin the Earth backwards and everything will be fixed.
