Faiz D I spent the better part of yesterday watching the Superman movies. It was an interesting experience watching these movies in a series back to back. Although I'm not that big on Superman, as I'm more a fan of Batman, these movies were very much entertaining, and delivered good actions, some good comedic elements and plenty of thrills. Christopher Reeve was very effective as Clark Kent/Superman and will always be that character. No other reboot will ever fill his shoes. EVER. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/13/25 Full Review jacob c A great, action-packed sequel with heightened emotion and more formidable villains. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/09/25 Full Review Luke B Though this movie is definitely not as good as the first movie and focuses a little too much on the romance and less on the heroism of Superman it still all comes together in the third act and it definitely a movie worth a watch. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/01/25 Full Review Mike P Superman 2 is Superman Redux...After the stunning epic original; which presented The Man of Steel as Christ himself and The Son of God...This chapter brings him back down to Earth...This is the HUMAN side of Superman...As he struggles with life here on earth; trying to reconcile his love for Lois, with his annointed role as Earth's Savior....Particularly once Lois learns his secret; and he decides to give up his powers so he can marry her; all at the same time his Dad's greatest enemy General Zod comes to Earth to get revenge...And inspite of this being one of the most fraught and chaotic film sets in history; Donner was unceremoniously fired by the greedy Salkinds; causing an uproar among the cast; and inspiring actors like Gene Hackman to quit the production mid-shoot; in spite of all that; this chapter still works wonders and is indeed a very solid and even spectacular sequel to the original. Probably because it was set up so brilliantly by the first one; and then the script by Leslie and David Newman and Mario Puzo was so good; so air-tight, even Richard Lester couldn't really screw it up. And the result is actually another modern classic; a worthy successor to the masterpiece original. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/29/25 Full Review Jelisije J A more polished version of the Richard Donner cut that was still very good but was lacking with the overall message as to why Superman gives up his powers and the consequences because of it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/25/25 Full Review Star Trek XV: T With Lester and Donner directing it, the result is an uneven good but not great sequel with a good plot, strong villain and golden acting but dated special effects and some silliness.
