Seems this has its barrel full of naysayers, but at least it had a better plot than 3. Surely some agree it outshines Howard The Duck NEway?

The absurdity and ridiculousness of the film is where the fun comes in. No its not technically "good" but it is good fun and that's enough.

I personally enjoyed it. Storyline wasn’t the best. Definitely not the best Superman film but still worth a watch. 7/10

This is the one involving Luthor and Superman's hair right? Yeah that one was not good.

More fun than people give it credit for. It's like a low budget B movie with a Superman coat of paint.

Andrew Wilkerson

While not a good film, it is a charming film. The effects are terrible, but they make this one memorable. I'll take this over 3 any day

I just don’t understand how this could have happened

Russell Priestly

One of those rare movies that makes you hope for nuclear war.

What a legacy left behind by Reeves, this movie is a stinker though ...but boy do I love it!

Lenny and Lex Luthor are the only redeeming parts of this movie. It’s a hard watch.
