A Good,Underrated Superman Film

Superman IV: The Quest For Peace is,believe it or not,a decent film! Christopher Reeve's anti-nuclear story is well-told and should be remebered,especially today.It's great fun to see all the favorite actors and characters we know and love return,and Gene Hackman's Lex Luthor is always a hoot to watch.Nuclear Man is a decent villain,and people should remember that he is not a long-time DC Comics character;only created for this film,and rather neatly by the way.I also liked Jon Cryer's Lenny (Lex's Nephew) and that he was played as more of a misguided youth than a true villain.
Of course,the movie is not without flaws.The visuals are not as good as they are in previous Superman films,but they are fine for the time.
Also,the Clark/Lois/Lacy Warfield (Mariel Hemingway in a rather annoying role) triangle is rather distracting.Superman/Clark Kent has only one great love,and that's Lois Lane!
Aside from that,Superman IV is a good movie.I have heard that 45 minutes of the film was trimmed,and that some fans are hoping for a Director's cut.I would like to see that,too.It would make what I believe is a good movie even better.Thumbs up! |
