Could Re-edit and New SFX Save This Film?

I don't think it'll ever happen but it would be interesting if the 134 minute cut was released with enhanced special effects.

I think that the deleted scenes from the DVD would have helped the film a bit.

Spoiler Alert

- Clark and Lacy resolve their subplot and it is implied that Lacy will purchase Ma and Pa Kent's farm

- Lex Luthor gets some comedic skits selling arms to the US and USSR

- Lex Luthor's absence from the film's climax is explained in that he goes into hiding when Nuclear Man decides to initiate World War III for fun

- The film gets a tense moment in which Superman knocks Nuclear Man out of the air and prevents the launch of nuclear missiles

- A proto Nuclear Man is created and challenges Superman before getting fried to a crisp. This one I'm on the fence about, as the comedy surrounding the character is quite terrible, but it adds another action scene to the film and gives Superman a victory before his loss to Nuclear Man.

- Jeremy gets cameo in the film's closing scene commenting on a world without borders

It wouldn't have turned the film into a masterpiece, but it would have strengthened the narrative a bit, resolved some loose issues, and added a little more in the way of action as well.

It's funny, I've often thought that too. I'm sure if they changed the beginning to the usual blue credits scene, re edited it and fixed the cgi, we'd improve the movie no end. It will never be as good as the others but if they did that it would be better.

If I win the lottery I'll contact WB and give them the money to re do it and release it on Bluray!

Nah. The original sfx are part of its charm.

There's only one man who'd DARE give me the raspberry
