The law of diminishing returns: It's the law--obey it! Someone should have posted that sign on the set of this, the third sequel to the film based on the DC Comics superhero. The "IV" in the title refers to medical supplies needed to resuscitate this anemic retread. This one reportedly was a pet project of actor Christopher Reeve, whose career seemed to flounder whenever he tried a role minus the blue underwear and red cape. Before agreeing to don the suit one more time, he insisted on a script that preached nuclear disarmament. So, in this film, Superman rounds up all the missiles and warheads and flings them into outer space. Which still leaves him to contend with Lex Luthor, who has a secret weapon: Nuclear Man. Yawn. Having pushed the envelope of special effects in the first film, it seemed as if the filmmakers simply stopped trying with this one. --Marshall Fine

I can tell that the filmmakers were trying to correct some of the biggest weaknesses of the last outing--and I can't really blame them--but in doing so, they overlooked what made the first two movies so great, while trying to focus on what they thought had ruined the third one.
* For instance, the third one suffers from a lack of Lex. Introducing a billionaire Luthor wannabe just doesn't cut it. So they brought back the domed one himself.
* Additionally, there is not much sense ... Read More

Christopher Reeve's final appearance as The Man of Steel SHOULD have been a great way to close the Superman franchise. Reeve agreed to return to the role one last time, provided he could use his story idea about the controversy of nuclear disarmament. So, there was every good intention to make a terrific movie. But then, you know what they say: Good intentions do not necessarily make a good picture.
Its faults are biggies: 1. Cheesy special effects. 2. Gaping holes in logic from the script. ... Read More

After more than two decades, yes, it is still all too easy to pick apart this dreadful movie featuring Christopher Reeve's final appearance as the legendary Man of Steel.
However, I recently thought the special edition version was at least worthy of a cheap DVD rental, so my two-year old son could witness the real "Superman," Christopher Reeve, in action regardless of the film's shoddy editing and dismal special effects. While my little boy was fascinated at seeing a living, breathing ... Read More

'SUPERMAN IV THE QUEST FOR PEACE' is entertaining on a pure camp level. The film is bad, the FX run from good to laughable(flying wires clearly visible)and some truly stupid decisions. I don't know what they paid Hackman to be in this unnecessary retread, but I hope he had fun spending the money. Everything in this film has a "been there done that" feel to it. The film is the shortest one in the series by at least 30 minutes but, I found myself dozing off a few time only to awaken with Mariel Hemingway ... Read More

Ok, where do I begin.
The story is weak and stupid. The villian is laughably ridiculous.
You could feel the budget cut is was that bad.
The fight on the moon scene, black curtains where used. Wires sticking out to make hero and villian fly exposed.
Superman rebiulds the wall of China with his eyes, just simple camera work for budget costs.
My fav part, nuclear man takes Mariel Hemmingway's character into space.
Yup, past the thin air, the intensly hot atmosphere and ... Read More
