Superman IV: The Quest for Peace 1987 ½

Reviewed Jul 23, 2012

This movie would have been okay if it didn't suffer from a bad storyline, bad acting, bad directing, bad special effects and dating badly.

Why did the makers of this movie come up with a homo-erotic villain called Nuclear Man instead of using any number of proper villains from the comic books? The whole nuclear arms race gives this a politically correct '80s feel and filming it in Milton Keynes was the final nail in the coffin.

Best bit: Nuclear Man abducting Lacy and flying her out into outer space- where she is unaffected by the lack of breathable atmosphere or air pressure and the audience hoping otherwise. This movie single-handedly killed off the series for 20 years.
