Beautifully done Sir. The design of the ship and the remains of Krypton doing a tribute to the first movie made me shed tears. Greetings from Brasil

i KNOW I saw a video where the house of El emblem actually crumbled revealing kryptonite, but no one seems to have that version.

Nice job. While I will always find the film flawed this would have been a much better start than the one used. At least if foreshadowed the final confrontation and gave a more concrete feeling he had to see the remains of Krypton for himself.

By the looks of this Kryptonian technology means that Kal-el's small scout craft goes faster-than-light and is able to go through wormholes. Amazing.

Well , the story behind it is that Singer was supposed to make the sequel to SR and wanted to re-release SR in IMAX (maybe 3D) just before the theatrical release of this sequel. And THIS Krypton intro was supposed to be re-edited in (along with a few other scenes, including the ones explaning that the news about Krypton was a trap from Lex Lutor, all along, to send him away during his trial...), making the new release more of an event, kind of like the Star Wars Special Editions... But SR, although not being a bomb, underperformed, and Singer never made his "Wrath Of Khan of Superman movies", with the battle of "New Krypton" at the center of it.

There Should Be A Directors Cut With This Opening With Superman Visiting The Remains Of Krypton 😮!

A wonderful scene !!! Too bad we didn't include her in the movie .. Brandon Routh beautiful 🥰😍❤

Lovely. A bit of horror in a way. And the lack of music helps build the tension. I yearn to see a Super Cut of Superman Returns because this the film, while good, could be better.

Without a doubt, this opening scene would have given a different perspective and a unique depth to the film. If the movie was about the return of Superman, the right thing to do was to close the Kryptonian story arc. To have a true continuity of Superman. In other words, you talk about Superman but you hide the outcome of his origins? It was a wrong decision of the directors at that time to remove this work of art.

Almost gives me an Alien/2001:A Space Odyssey vibe!

THANKYOU for watching Firstname.... it means a lot to know what you think, good or bad. I've actually finished the full recut of the entire movie. I too am totally baffled as to why this got cut & Lex deducing an old lady got kept as the first opening scene. As for MOS, I think the sequel will greatly improve the minor faults that movie had. I would watch if I were you, you may be pleasantly surprised.

@ 2:00 his ship passes through ruins of Science Council building dome.

They should have kept this in the movie

In the theatrical cut didnt we see Krypton explode again? It seemed like they changed it where the red sun was an actual supernova.

But this makes no sense of why even Kal El would go back to a planet that is not even there…which was explained by Jor El his Father in great detail ..why did Even Bryan Singer even film this?

I did a version of this years ago while doing my own recut of the movie. I actually got rid of the text but kept Krypton exploding and then faded into the RTK scene and after that went to the opening titles through the window of the ship the way you did. I'd actually intended to redo the opening titles with some newspaper shots (I think it was done in the game or maybe a BTS documentary or something) telling the story of the 5 years Superman was away but it ended up being too much work. I believe the first scene after the opening titles was Lex on the ship, heading to the Fortress (yeah I completely cut the old woman scene). I added in some of the Kent farm stuff and I made a few tweaks throughout. For example, I moved the bank robbery scene to right after the interview (if memory serves I cut the "Superman spies on Lois and Richard" scene) which I think helped the pacing better and made it feel like there were more action scenes than there were. Basically, the bullet hits the eye and then cuts to the burrito scene, the joke being that Superman managed to stop a bank robbery and get back into his seat by the time Lois got down from the roof. I wish I still had that cut but I did it way back when the RTK scene came out and that hard drive is long gone, along with my aborted attempt to recut Superman The Movie and Superman II into a single film.

Nice edit. Too bad you didn't direct the movie.

Yes this would of made alot more sense thanks for upload

They should have included this scene in the theatrical release of the film.

Que fuerte... 4 minutos y 40 segundos que nos perdimos de Superman Returns A mi me hubiera parecido interesante ver como Kar-el está en lo que quedó de Krypton despues que explotó en Superman 1 y como viaja a la Tierra para encontrarse con su madre Martha Kent No entiendo porque algunos directores cortan escenas así

Ya el año 2024 el numero 8 de la saga de Christopher Revee✌️🌍🦸‍♂️💪

The actual piece of music that composer John Ottman "mocked up" for this scene is available to listen to on the expanded album for the film, and is titled "Return to Krypton§* (synth mockup)".

Así se ve un Planeta que explota

I'd have the music start up about @4:36 but great job. this is how it should've been.

Singer really should have started the film with this instead of that Lex Luther/Widow death bed scene.

I wish that Brandon Routh gets recast to do a different superhero character because he does looks good on screen. Just like what happened to Chris Evans. I hope Marvel or DC get to choose him again. What do you think guys?

No me imagino como se verán Cybertron y Veguita los Planetas natales de Transformers y Goku Dragón Ball

Te pido superman gloria veredicto fuerzaz en articulacionrs y saber de ojo de agua por my perseverancia como respeto hal semejante my salud hay cripto aqui tambien unitario y church por my luto y trabajo y my libettad y todo sea verdad saenz

That's a whole lot of kryptonite.

They should've made his suit black and kept the silver emblem. A fun callback to the source material. Not sure why they had it in a gray color.

Okay.... makes sense Superman would need a ship for deep space travel in the event he would not find a solar system with a yellow or even a blue sun to sustain him while out in the barren vacuum of space. But I swear.... the Crystal Tech of Krypton of the Christopher Reeve era films.... I swear I’ll never understand how they work or how they even sustain power or life support systems as even operating the ship or even steering it? Despite the clear advantage of the ship regenerating and self repairing itself while in space, how would someone even manufacture or construct automated crystal tech in the first place? I know Krypton is or at least was a civilization lightyears ahead of our own tech, but there is no fathomable way such structure of technology could ever be cultivated like this, or even work without circuitry, microchips, transistors, and all that jazz for something to work like that?

On the doomed planet of Toronto , alone idealist escape too Basket in the Californian sun , a sun ten times stronger than his native sun. He grew in strength and spirit too become our greatest defender and our biggest asshole ! He was known only as “~ Brad”

I like the uncut one.

i have to ask what was the point of him being in that crystal when he could just fly

Instead they gave us an idiotic scene of Luthor swindling an old woman.

i glad he return play superman in crisis infinite on earth cross over episodes and Atom but i hope he get his superman TV shows when he leaving DC Legends of tomorrow

❣️

Que pena que sacaran esto .no se porque hacen esto los directores.

Viva Christopher Revee

I think that it may have had to do with time contraints.

where is the full movie of superman return

The plot was meh but Routh is good and they should have left the scene of Clark flying his ship to Krypton.

Well, I woulda started with the red sun explosion, then this, and if they were over time because of this part, seems you could easily do without thw whole Lex at his sugar mama's deathbed sequence, which is gross, and besides, do we need to know how Lex got the money to fund his exploits? He's Lex Luthor. He would've went to prison with millions tucked away that no one knew a thing about, one would assume.

Sin duda alguna ésta escena de inicio le hubiese dado una perspectiva diferente y una profundidad única a la película. Si la película era acerca del regreso de Superman lo correcto era cerrar el arco argumental de Krypton. Tener una verdadera continuidad de Superman. O sea hablas de Superman pero escondes el desenlace de sus orígenes? Fue una desición equivocada de los directores en ése momento eliminar ésta obra de arte. 7:36

5:14

🌍🦸‍♂️💪✌️

Roger go back to casing school

Because Superman wanted to see it for himself that's why Superman left to go see the remains of Krypton. When Superman discovered for himself that a lot of green kryptonite was on the bottom part of Krypton itself. So that's when Superman hauled freight out of there. Because that green kryptonite was affecting him that's why he set a course back to Earth.

The text at the beginning of the movie did not make sense to me at all. In this movie, Superman left Earth, leaving a lot of things behind, just because of some astronomers discoveries. The premise was so lame. Bryan Singer over think the plot that is why this movie flop. I wish it had gone to a different director that time so they could rebooted it.

nothing could save this movie the acting the story all sucked

Brandon Routh sucked as Superman, and the entire movie sucked, including this deleted scene.
