Stephen C A successful movie sequel in 2 hours and 7 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/29/25 Full Review alan g One of the few sequels that surpasses its predecessor. Great plot great acting (maybe a little over the top at times). Well worth watching. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/28/25 Full Review Marco L (CASTELLANO) Si la primera Superman nos hizo creer que un hombre podía volar, esta secuela nos enseñó que incluso el mayor de los héroes puede perderlo todo. Superman II no solo es la mejor película de la era Reeve, es probablemente la mejor que se ha hecho nunca sobre el personaje. Y eso no es solo por la espectacularidad de sus escenas de acción, ni siquiera por la entrada triunfal del General Zod y sus secuaces. Es por el alma que tiene. La película empieza fuerte y no pierde el ritmo. Desde el arranque, con ese prólogo silencioso mientras vemos el juicio de Zod, Ursa y Non, hasta el clímax en Metrópolis, se nota que aquí hay algo más que espectáculo. Hay emoción, drama, decisiones difíciles y momentos en los que uno duda si Superman podrá salir adelante. Y eso la emparenta más de lo que parece con El imperio contraataca, esa otra gran secuela en la que el mal también parecía tener las de ganar. Christopher Reeve está perfecto. Nadie ha llevado con tanta naturalidad la dualidad entre Clark Kent y Superman. Su vulnerabilidad en esta entrega —esa decisión de renunciar a sus poderes por amor— lo humaniza sin debilitarlo. Es un Superman que sangra, que sufre, que se equivoca... y que por eso mismo, emociona. Puede que la dirección, dividida entre Richard Donner y Richard Lester, deje algún que otro bache tonal, pero el conjunto funciona. Hay humor, sí, pero también momentos de verdadero peso. La lucha en Metrópolis sigue siendo memorable, y el regreso de Superman tras su aparente derrota es uno de esos momentos que te pone los pelos de punta. Los villanos, especialmente Terence Stamp como Zod, están entre lo mejor que ha dado el cine de superhéroes. Elegante, implacable, con esa frase mítica —"¡Arrodíllate ante Zod!"— que se ha quedado grabada en la cultura pop. Superman II es una de esas secuelas raras que no solo están a la altura de la original, sino que en muchos aspectos la superan. Tiene corazón, tiene épica, y tiene a un Reeve insustituible. Henry Cavill lo ha hecho bien, sí, pero el Superman definitivo ya tiene nombre. Y siempre será Christopher Reeve. (ENGLISH) If the first Superman made us believe a man could fly, this sequel showed us that even the greatest hero can lose everything. Superman II is not just the best film of the Reeve era — it’s arguably the best Superman film ever made. And it’s not just because of the action, or the arrival of General Zod and his crew. It’s because this movie has heart. It starts strong and never lets go. From the opening, with the silent trial of Zod, Ursa, and Non, to the climactic battle in Metropolis, there's something more here than spectacle. There’s emotion, drama, difficult choices, and moments when you truly doubt Superman will make it through. In that sense, it has more in common than it seems with The Empire Strikes Back, another legendary sequel where evil appears to win. Christopher Reeve is perfect. No one has ever balanced Clark Kent and Superman as effortlessly as he did. His vulnerability in this chapter — giving up his powers for love — humanizes him without weakening the character. He bleeds, he suffers, he makes mistakes… and that’s exactly why he moves us. Yes, the dual direction between Richard Donner and Richard Lester creates a few tonal inconsistencies, but overall, it works. There’s humor, but also real emotional weight. The Metropolis showdown remains iconic, and Superman’s return after his seeming defeat is a goosebumps moment. The villains, especially Terence Stamp as Zod, are among the best in superhero cinema. Elegant, merciless, and unforgettable — that “Kneel before Zod!” line is now immortal. Superman II is one of those rare sequels that not only holds up but often surpasses the original. It’s got heart, scale, and an irreplaceable Reeve. Henry Cavill did a fine job, but the definitive Superman already has a name — and it will always be Christopher Reeve. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/26/25 Full Review John S Far more watchable than the first film. But it's truly a product of its time. Another movie I romanticized as magical when I was young that... isn't now. Note to anyone about to watch Superman 2 immediately after Superman 1: start at the 12 minute mark and spare yourself the recap of the first film. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/19/25 Full Review Brayden G My favorite Christopher Reeve Superman movie Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/17/25 Full Review 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.
