Title: Deluxe Edition worth a rent for commentary, deleted scenes
Review: I bought the 14-disc "Superman Ultimate Collector's Edition" which includes the new Deluxe Edition of Superman IV. If you didn't go for the collector's edition, in my opinion this movie is not worth buying -- it is as bad as you've heard. But the new Deluxe Edition, released by Warner Bros. on Nov. 28, 2006, is worth a rent: watch it with the audio commentary by co-screenwriter Mark Rosenthal, who is very forthright regarding the production problems this movie faced, that ultimately contributed to its failure. Also interesting to look at are the deleted scenes, if only as a curiosity. Most of them certainly deserved to be cut but there are two or three that aren't too bad. The two deleted scenes involving the "first" Nuclear Man (who was completely absent from the final cut) are worth a chuckle - or a groan - for the completely cheesy electronic music that plays whenever he's on screen.
Is the review positive or negative?
