There are some things that don’t work, but overall, it’s great.

If you were watching it back then you probably like it. If you are younger generation you probably won't.

Kinda hokey, I’d recommend the Donner cut over this

Greysky Morning

Kneel before Zod! Superman faces his toughest foes yet in these other worldly gods who threaten to take over humanity. A great sequel

By far the best Superman film. Amazing acting and storyline. 10/10

This movie is worth watching just to see Terence Stamp’s performance as Zod.

A sequel worth watching lives up to the first one.

The best of the Reeve-era Superman movies, no matter which version you see. Rad action, great baddies and more maturity. Kneel before Zod!

As a child I absolutely loved this movie. The story is fast paced and the cast were chosen perfectly.

Action scenes are bigger, Lois/Clark still lovely; the tone light and campy. Reeve is amazing but Hackman is completely wasted.
