Carnage David Z Ooof! Definitely the weakest movie of the Reeves Superman. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/25 Full Review r96 s 'Superman IV: The Quest for Peace' isn't one I'll be filing anywhere near 'good', though it is at least a minimal improvement on III and 'Supergirl'. It has a pleasantly short run time of just under 90 minutes and features a plot that I didn't find totally terrible. Christopher Reeve stars as Superman for the final time, to as decent effect as you'd expect. Gene Hackman makes a return as Lex Luthor, to my support - I think he's the one I'll remember most from these films, aside from the main guy obviously. It's not Hackman on top form, but still solid enough. Overall though, I didn't get the required entertainment. I do think it starts better than it finishes, the end noticeably drags. One big reason for that is the Nuclear Man character. Any time he appears, I was uninterested. The 'switching' in front of Lois Lane is also extremely repetitive by this point. A blessing for all involved that this era of Superman concluded here. Now to see what they did for 2006's 'Superman Returns', a movie I'm a little surprised didn't cross my path as a kid to be honest; as the Spiderman flicks from those years did. Maybe I'll find out why! Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/08/25 Full Review Michael P I cannot believe how bad this movie is. This is one of the worst movies I've seen. From bad editing, to Superman has telekinesis? To the writing, the sound, the story, all of it. Reeves is always good as Superman and Gene Hackman is great as Lex but everything is terrible... wow that was bad Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/08/25 Full Review Magnus Ø Better than Superman III at least Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/21/24 Full Review matthias s "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace" is a major letdown for a Superman movie. The plot is way too thin, and it’s clear the budget was slashed—those special effects are embarrassingly bad, especially compared to the earlier films. How did they go from the flying sequences in the first two movies to *this*? At least Gene Hackman and Margot Kidder are back, which adds a bit of nostalgia. Nuclear Man had potential, but he’s more laughable than threatening—a dude on wires isn’t exactly intimidating. The story is riddled with plot holes and feels like it was hacked to pieces in the editing room. That said, there are a few moments that shine, and somewhere in here, there’s the potential for a decent film. It's definitely more entertaining than Superman III (still the worst of the series), but it’s bad. Overhated? Maybe. But still disappointing. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/21/24 Full Review Tim R Suffice it to say this movie is just DUMB! The actors, especially Kidder, seem like they couldn't be less interested. And, what's more, they think the audience (us) are dumb too. Nuclear Man flies into OUTER SPACE with Mariel Hemingway on his arm but she's ok. Nothing to see here. Did I read somewhere that exposure to the vacuum of space only negatively affects 1 out of 7? Plus the space wind was blowing her hair real nice and she looked pretty so that must have saved her. Yeah, just DUMB! Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/04/24 Full Review Read all reviews
