Return To Krypton - Superman Returns Deleted Opening Scene

$10 million scene cut from the movie.

Long, silent 5:42 minutes showing nude Superman flying in a crystal ship.

Seemed like a good idea at the time.

Very well done, and I did enjoy the *animation. But I can see how it might not necessarily add that much to the story. Alternatively they could have written in some dialogue maybe like:



"Supe: Here's the crystal spaceship that I used to travel back to Krypton to search for my family. (gestures to ship/part of ship/model/picture of ship/10 second cutscene of ship...)

Lois: Did you find anyone/anything?

Supe: Only a rock filled with Kryptonite (and loneliness.)

End scene!"

4 minutes and 9.75 million dollars saved!

With the advent of superb digital animation (such as this) too many films try to cover up poor planning/writing and ultimately sacrifice good story-telling with, well, high-production cartoons and special effects.

>> ^EMPIRE:

to be honest, it's a bit too long, but I kinda liked it. With better editing they could have left it in.
