    The first four same Superman movies have the same ratio as the first four Batman movies.
    1. First one is considered the best (Batman & Superman)
    2. The second one is good (Batman Returns & Superman II)
    3.where the franchise went downhill (Superman III & Batman Forever)
    4. The fourth one is considered one of the worst movies ever made! ( Superman IV: The Quest for Peace & Batman and Robin)

      You know instead of this Nuclear Man, why not introduce Metallo or hell even Parasite sounds like an awesome villian. I mean Parasite is a villian that can drained energy from anyone he touches even Superman. That sounds like a cool idea for the villian for this movie. Unfornanetly what we ended up getting is one of the worst movies ever made in film history.

      @@kimifw58What I mean different origins, I mean not in a Superman clone kinda way. Also, you are wrong about Doomsday.
      Doomsday was born during prehistoric times on Krypton and was captured by an alien scientist named Bertron. Bertron conducted a series of cruel experiments on a humanoid infant in which it is killed over and over again until it evolved into Doomsday. He isn't a clone of Superman. It is kinda funny how Zack change Doomsday Origin into a ripoff of Superman VI villain and I fail to noticed that.

    True story, none of the actors showed up for the screening of this film. Except for the guy who played Nuclear Man. In full costume. They were meant to have Superman there as well, but as I said, Reeve didn't show up. So the poor guy had to keep explaining to everyone there who he was supposed to be, and why he was there, since the character was invented for this one film.

    You're India, a giant populous economic nation with a variety of ethnic and religious groups (primarily Hindu) but you are surrounded by two rival nations: Pakistan and China. The former is a turbulent, theocratic based, Islamic democracy that has had cold relations with you since the partition of 1947, several wars over territory like Kashmir and interference in the Bangladeshi liberation war, and has financed terrorist groups that have plagued you for decades. The latter is a Communist/Maoist police state that has financed Maoist insurgent groups in Nepal and Northern India, ousted the Tibetan government that you have supported for years from power, suffered several border conflicts throughout your modern history, and is your biggest economic rival all over the world. However, the only thing that keeps all three of you from engaging in a bloody continental war in heavily mountainous terrain (some of which skirts the upper atmosphere) is all three countries' nuclear arsenals.
    And now Superman shows up and says he's going to take those arsenals away.

The same guy who: 1) Reveals his master plan to Superman, believing he won't be able to stop the plan, i.e. stop both missiles. 2) Reveals the second missile going to Hackensack, NJ, where Miss Teschmacher's mother lives. Now who is Teschmacher going to help? The "diseased maniac" who treats her like sh*t, or the charming superhero who treats others equally? And finally 3) becomes outsmarted by Superman in the sequel's climax. You know, Lex, is Superman manages to outsmart *_you_*, I think it's time to retire from crime.

    The nuclear disarmament bit really was a slap in the face to the character of Supes. Alongside maybe Captain America, he is the ONE hero who would NEVER consider something like that. Just imagine if you had Superman’s powers. Much like me, you might make it 48 hours before doing something like blowing up the 3 Gorges dam, or glassing the entire Middle East, or simply deleting Africa. The entire point of Superman is that he could solve any problem in an instant. But that would require totalitarian force. And he absolutely will not stand for that. That would be a Doctor Doom approach. And while even divine gods may look at you and say “yeah, that’s the best solution”, Superman is not an aggressive hero. He’s a reactionary hero.

    I don't understand this fascination that shitty movies like this have with how people move in space, especially on the moon. Why is it that they feel like they need to move in slow motion? Seriously, just because the gravity is less does not mean you move slower. Hell, you don't even really fall slower, if anything you'd fall faster cause there's no atmosphere to cause drag which is what causes a feather to fall slower on Earth. When the Apollo astronauts first landed on the moon one of the experiments they did was show that in a vacuum, especially on the moon, that two objects of approximately equal size will fall at the same rate. They dropped a hammer and a feather at the same time and they hit the ground at the same time because there was no drag to cause the feather to move slower. This is why the idea that heavier objects fall faster than light ones is bullshit. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
    Less gravity does not make you move in slow motion, hell, you don't really even fall slower. The only thing that'd really change is that because you're used to fighting gravity to move that were you to try and jump as high as you could, you'd go MUCH further and throwing an object will travel further as well due to the force of gravity pulling it down being reduced (and also because drag from an atmosphere is reduced to the point that it's not there at all). Yes there is gravity but on the moon it's about 1/6 as much as it is on the earth (roughly).
    So movies, fucking stop doing this. I know this movie is old but just fucking stop it.

    That music made the fight scene on the moon so much better

    8:52 Can you even imagine what the world would ACTUALLY do if Superman actually did what he did in this movie? My thoughts would be on chasing him off of Earth, personally.

    Once I was in a shop and I actually saw this on blu ray. It was only a fiver so I bought it,looking forward to reliving some classic Superman. I hadn't seen the movies since I was a kid. Boy was I taken aback when I first watched it.

    The question has to be asked. What's worse: Fant4stic or Superman 4? =P

      According to Rotten Tomatoes, Fantastic 4 by 3% (F4 has 9% and SM4 has 12%)

      Superman 4 is laughably bad, Fant4stic wasn't laughable at all it was just bad. :/

    The only part I really remember enjoying about this movie is when he has two dates with Lois and that other chick (Cat Grant?) and he has to go back and forth.

    It's a shame that this film had some good ideas and the Cannon group screwed it up. Superman facing a villain that Lex Luthor created from Superman's own DNA, done a lot in the comics, first time in a movie here, badly done, could have been a villain worthy of General Zod, but no, we get a guy named Pillow playing him. Then Perry White losing the daily planet to a competitor, this had a better actor and was better handled, but still fell short of it's potential. If only Richard Donner had been involved in this one.

    fun fact: If dc didn't "kill" Superman in what I now call " MARTHA v MARTHA starring worst casting for Lex Luthor, George Clooney wouldn't have died in Gravity. "But Gravity came out 3 years pryor" I hear you saying. To which I reply Superman flew around the world... time travel. Still not as dumb as Suicide Squad.

    I'm not sure anyone else has mentioned this but my favorite part was their back and forth over what Supperman said to Congress 8:55-9:11. Especially finding he was basically quoting Lion King when NC says And everyone's ok with this???

    7:33 Somehow, I don't remember THIS being in the film because in the end of Superman 2, Clark kisses Lois, erasing her memory of knowing he's Superman and somehow, this happens anyway?
