Supes spins the earth backwards in both Superman and Donner's Superman II. Which version is superior?
I don't, it comes off as "Heh, it doesn't matter how bad stuff goes, I can just turn back time and nothing will be wrong".
The original easily. Atleast it doesn't seem like he's just turning back time for the hell of it.

I've said it before, best decision Donner ever made was moving II's ending to STM.
I would say casting Christopher Reeve and hiring John Williams were better decisions.
The turning back time in the Donner cut makes no sense whatsoever.
Even though the concept of reversing time by reversing the earths orbit is stupid, the first movie one is much better.
He turns back time.But does Superman turn back time or simply travel back to the past?
I think as filmmaking it works better in SII: TDC. I think at the end of S:TM he should have just gotten there in time to save Lois's bacon. In SII: TDC it really comes off as SUperman trying to rectify his mistake by making all the bad stuff never happen.
There was no other ending, dude. I've said this a million times! Donner never actually completed his Superman II. What we got was their best attempt to present a completed film with what they had. HOWEVER, they could have gotten creative like our friend RW:
