Ironically, it doesn't include Superman. I love everything about this, from the intoned "GUILTY" verdicts, to Brando's righteous contempt, to the simple majesty of it all (helped by the John Williams' faboo Krypton fanfare). And, of course, Terence Stamp as Zod is utterly kneel-worthy.
If it were shot today, it would all be CG rather than practical and video effects. But I don't think it would be any better.
Oh yeah, that's the stuff.
My favorite line is from Superman II: "Why do you say this to me, when you know that I will kill you for it?" The reading is so matter-of-fact it just fits perfectly.
Hell, I even like the slightly-wobbly ring-thing that's holding the prisoners. It's a simple effect, but it works.
Those movies had a huge impact on the depiction of Krypton in the comics.
+Scott Randel Stamp's Zod is a masterpiece.
"Oh, God …" "Zod."
