Still, the film isn't nearly as bad as you might expect. In fact, it's pretty okay. I remember really loving it as a kid. It's just that when you realize what this film could have been, you have to cringe. The print isn't in the best of shape, and is very soft looking at times.
Color is okay, but contrast is somewhat less than desirable.
Worse yet, the audio is only available in Dolby Digital 2.0 surround. A 5.1 remix would have really kicked things up a few notches. The Movie DVD, this disc really should have had a more in-depth look at the controversies and problems surrounding the film. In any case, if you're a fan, Superman II is worth having on disc. The Movie on DVD instead.
