Stolid dialogue and poor technicalities are evident throughout what will surely be the last of the series.

Excruciating to watch!
I rented this title for my children, after last seeing it as a kid...I remember it being crap then, but after viewing as an adult I found it painful to watch!
Both my children enjoy the first three superman films and the new one as do I. So I thought I would rewatch the fourth one with them to complete the series...
This film is like a B movie compared to the first three..Infact it all started going downhill after superman 2 I think.
This film should have never been made. The storyline is one great big jumbled mess. The flying sequences and special effects are laughable. Even the acting is sub standard. Its like the actors knew it was rubbish and couldnt be bothered to act!.....What were they thinking even making this!!...Avoid like the plague!!

Not quite super
Well I like 'Superman' 1, 2 and 3. Number 4 was a movie which just needs someone to say 'this is not working'. The effects are terrible in places, and also the main villain just does not work, and the plot as too many holes.
Hidden under there somewhere is something, it feels in parts like the original 'Superman' movie, but then decides to ruin the movie by feeling like a movie on steroids. The movie feels rushed and lacks direction, does not know what movie it wants to be, a teen movie, superhero movie, an Alan Smithee movie, TV movie or a political statement. Well cannot recommend for this reason, but found it alright for a short 78 minutes, which compared to the other 'Superman' movies just is diabolical, Christopher Reeves deserves better but maybe the studio felt that the story was bad from day one, that’s why they pulled out supporting it! -
