Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)

[Neverending]

This movie is unfairly hated. Granted, it has many flaws but compared to Superman III it's a solid installment in the franchise. The idea for the film is quite good. Superman stopping nuclear weapons was a ballsy move. The humor is handled way better than in the Richard Lester movies. And, the action scenes were pulled off very well despite the low budget. I understand why people dislike this film. The script feels like it was written for a kids cartoon show, Nuclear Man is a glorified henchman, and the dumb Super Kiss returns. But it still manages to be a charming picture.

I've never seen III or IV. I keep seeing/hearing reasons not to.

[Neverending]

It depends, really. If you're just a casual fan of the character then there's no reason to watch it.

Did you seriously remake this thread?

This movie reminds me of being ill as a 7 year old and lying in my parents' bed with chicken drumsticks watching it on a tiny tv thinking "is this for real?"

If a Superman film fails with a 7 year old boy, it has problems...

Not enough Nuclear Man for you? ;)

That seems unlikely.

[Deexan]

YOU seem unlikely. I'm, like, sooo mature!


And Neverending you're way off, I didn't develop any homosexual tendencies until I joined CS and met JBond.

[JBond]

I only date mature men. (And some women)

Just read the Wikipedia page detailing the true development hell the Superman films and almost-films have gone through over the last 10-20 years. Interesting stuff. Some WB executives seem intent on ruining the character's cinematic legacy.

Horrible movie, i saw this in theaters when i was 6 years old and god did this movie blew badly?

[Clark Savage Jr]

I did a personal fan edit that helps it for me. I took SIII and removed as much of the stupid slapstick comedy and terrible Richard Pryor peformance as I could, and combined it with a cut down SIV. To me this made them both more watchable.

ifyou thin superman 4 IS Horrible I recomed watching super girl . one of the worst movies i ever saw.

Fact that he is gonna be their, thats whats so funny. He always be remembered for being a bad villian in a bad Superman film.

I've met people like Margot Kidder, Valerie Perrine, Alex Ross, Adam West, Julie Newmar, Lou Ferrigno and many more there (not thier)....so his being a guest star isn't bad. The movie he was in may not have been great....hell it may not be good....but he still costarred in a Superman movie with Christopher Reeve and Gene Hackman. And what are your major accomplishments so far?

Clark Savage do not get all bent outta shape. Just saying funny he gonna be there considering how film went and his role.

[Clark Savage Jr]

The Superman Festival is a celebration of all things from the official world of Superman. It's for fans of the character and his world in the comics, movies, and TV.

[Fresh Prince]

Okay.

[Ayemef]

easily one of the worst superhero films ever made and better than part 3?

really going to have to disagree with you there

I'll take Richard Pryor & Evil Supes over Nuclear Man and his growing finger nails any day of the week

[Moviefan]

my favotie is superman 3. sure not asgood ast he first or second one. my favorite part werre he superman fight clark kent in the junk yard. i never caredfor the four one much onewwere they were figting on the dakr side of the moon and nucler man stil had his powers . the best is superman 2 .

[Clark Savage Jr]

I thought SIII was one of Pryor's worst performances. He just wasn't funny in it to me.

The dark side of the moon is called that because we can't see it from earth...it doesn't mean that the sun never shines on it.

[Nick1988]

I actually really liked this movie as a kid, but like most movies i liked as kid, i am sure if i saw it now i would think it sucks big time.

[true fan11212]

I finally saw this last month and I have to say, I didn't (completely) hate it. The storyline makes no sense, they rip off moments from the first film and the special effects were horrendous. Despite that, it has some effective emotional moments and moved at a brisk pace. Most importantly, unlike the abysmal Superman III, it's actually about Superman. It's definitely not a good film but it was certainly entertaining.
