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.

@@MovieMan-qe3hr it wasn't Reeve's fault that Cannon decided to penny pinch his ideas. Didn't have 36 million to make his idea a reality, then they shouldn't have greenlit it. It's their cheap nature that got us this. They wouldn't even film at the UN for that one scene that Reeve begged them too with good reason. Most people at the time would notice something like that being filmed elsewhere.
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 know, Linkara has a point. The Batman and Superman movies do have a lot in common. The first one is dated yet still really charming. The second one is superior in every way. The third one’s not that bad guys, calm down. And the fourth one is Superman IV and Batman and Robin.
Tbh, I occasionally come back to this video, and now I will more often becuase this is the earliest Superman review and I working through the order before he makes the compilation video
Me you mean because they wear glasses? Lewis has one brother who has appeared occasionally on his show. Doug's brother is Rob who has been on his show a lot. I.e. Dark Rob, Santa Christ, and Chart Guy
+kravten ' This was one of the first NC reviews I saw (maybe third, I had seen Tom and Jerry and Waterworld before) and I was a bit confused, until I realized it was NOT Doug.
This is actually kinda like Batman V Superman! Supes in a court, Lex trying to make a monster out of Supes' DNA... Well, ok, the similarities don't go that far.
Albus Kane We have other, equally destructive bombs now. Christopher Williams For the reason above, I doubt very much removing nuclear weapons would make much of a difference. The only thing they have that is more important than other bombs is their status as a symbol for the apocalypse.
Here's something no one seems to take into account: THE PLANS! You can get rid of all the nuclear and other bombs all you want, but if the plans for them are still around they can and will still be made. Heck, even the factories are still there to make them
That would probably be the best thing, to simply prevent anyone from making more without having to get rid of what we have, but how many countries do you really believe would go for that? There's so much distrust that even if the agreement was made, I doubt a single country would actually go through with it.
Jon Cryer blew everyone's minds when he showed up at the end of *Supergirl* season 4... He was also good in season 5 (and declined pretty bad in season 6 when he started simping for Nyxly). But damn, his 3 episodes toward the end of season 4 are on my GOAT list

That "Don't you just hate inconsistencies" line made me laugh so hard I had to pause the video to even be able to comprehend the rest of the review. I appreciate that. A good laugh is always appreciated.

Honestly, I think with some tweaking of the Nuclear Man's powers and origins, I think the Nuclear Man would've made a good Superman villain in the comics.
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. WHAT DO YA DO?
"Lex Luthor, the greatest criminal mind of all time." 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.
I think most of my most favorite reviews are the one's Nc brings on either Linkara, Angry Joe, Spoonie, Nostalgia Chick to help him review. He should do it again. Please do more crossovers with them, as a team these review are beyond EPIC!!!
Space is a vacuum! A VACUUM!!!! How can they get this wrong?! I’ve seen this film only once when it was streaming on Hulu! Their are so many things that do not logically make sense at all! “Hey, look at me I can go to space without a space suit and breathe!” NO!!You would suffocate and die!
@@InvestedGman And that show knew how stupid it was that they could breathe in space. They had Carl sing over the explanation of how they did it. They knew, but they also knew it was a kids show to have some fun with. I don't have so much faith in this movie knowing in the first place..
I had it worse, I had just gotten into the Critic's videos and this was the first time going back years to see his early work. I didn't even know that wasn't him, marveling at the differences, until he actually appeared, where I immediately burst out laughing as I realized my error.
+James Faraci A bat credit card? A bat...credit card? They had the BALLS to give one of the greatest superheroes of all time...A BAT CREDIT CARD? NOOOOO! NOOOOOOOO! DOES NOT COMPUTE! DOES NOT COMPUTE AREDJFDKLFDF!
7:19 "And now for quite possibly the worst green screen effect you've ever seen in three, two, one!" *ad plays* Me: ok, that's not that bad. *ad ends and sees actual clip* Me: oh no, yeah that's pretty bad.
I hate to defend this movie, but Superman extends a field whenever he lifts things. It's why Superman could pick a boat up on one end and swing it like a bat, but if the hulk tried to do the same the ship would break.
Charley Newman that was an old john byrne idea....but they dropped that later, because it doesen‘t fit to good. Instead they used the idea later for the young superman clone from project cadamus........the newest incarnation of supes differs again.
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.
@@LizardOfOz69 wut? Hey man, I don't know what you want from me, I wrote that comment 5 months ago, and I just meant crossovers with each person recording from home. I didn't watch the Pink Floyd review because I don't even know a single song by Pink Floyd, and clearly I'm not informed enough about anything else going on with their personal lives
@@SoloJona Long and the short of it: A bunch of former CA reviewers (including Linkara) published an open letter that alleged a toxic work culture within CA. However, from what I can tell, Doug (at least in the last couple of years) has learnt from these bad mistakes and is trying to improve how things are done at CA. Plus some dumpster fire reviews like The Wall and lockdown kinda led to more of a return to basics for Nostalgia Critic as well.
I'm not exaggerating when I say that for years I forgot this movie existed. I did watch it when it was first shown on TV however many years after it was released, but until the early 2000s I had it in my mind that there was only 3 Superman movies.
If there was a parody of a Christmas song called, "Silver Bells," it would be like, "Superman, Superman! Superman, Superman! He comes from the planet Krypton!" Now, that would be an awesome holiday song.
I don't think crossovers have quite hit their peak yet, still experimental and such. But I feel this is one of the first to really work despite being unrefined. I doubt it's easy to do since someone has to work around BOTH sets of footage, but whoever did this pulled it off well.
I'm watching Doug's reviews of Superman 1-3 this month and coming back to one of his earlier reviews Superman IV, one of the worst superhero films ever made and its so bad it makes Batman and Robin look good.
I want NC to review the cut moments from the film, including the work print of the original Nuclear Man and his fight with Superman set to extremely silly music.
To the movie's credit, if Superman were to up and decide all nuclear weaponry should be destroyed, 'applaud wildly' is pretty much the only option you have...
Several atempts were made This episode came in 2009 So the show was actually cancelled for real at some thing point Final season was gonna be rpm Then saban got it back and it continued
Superman 2 the Donner cut is pretty much the only Christopher Reeves Superman film worth seeing. It's actually the BEST Superman film yet. If you haven't seen the Richard Donner cut, you really really should.
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.
20:43 Lacy is nowhere to be seen either, she just disappears after Superman takes her back to Earth, she doesn't show again after that, she's not even mentioned after that, god I hate this movie.
Superman: The Movie's Deleted Scenes Only on TV (In 1982). Superman 2's Deleted Scenes Only On TV (In 1984). Superman 3's Deleted Scenes Only On TV (In 1986). Superman 4's Deleted Scenes, 2 on Laserdisc and VHS, And the rest on The Workprint.
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 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?

@@burtonryan50 (SMASH) Oww...
Except that the Superman franchise has 5 films instead of 4. Don't forget, "Supergirl" exists
I'd say this is a strange coincidence, but when four strange things happen in a row, then there's a damn clear pattern.
Am I the only one that think Nuclear Man would have been a great villain if he had a better weakness and origins. Oh and a better movie.
You mean Doomsday? Or Bizarro? Connor is also a Superman clone with Lex's DNA, but he's not a villain. Superman has a _lot_ of clones.
You know instead of this Nuclear Man, why not introduce Metallo or hell even Parasite sounds like an awesome villian.

Poever yes. That’s the version I had.
Idk, I prefer Batman over Batman Returns. But Richard Donner's Superman II is the best.
I would rate 'Superman II' much higher than 'Batman Returns'.
Eh, I prefer Batman over Batman Returns, and Batman Forever and Superman III are both atrocious, but they're not as bad as the 4th installments.
20:10 - Superman just killed pretty much half the Earth's population with that move, and yet people are still bitching about Man of Steel. Go figure.
This isn't a good movie either.

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.
WHAT DO YA DO?
alexiaNBC Applaud Wildly!!
Can an analogy be made to guns?
Loreaver WRONG! The answer was applaud wildly!
This is my favorite comment here
Oh oh, I have the answer. It’s right on the top of my tongue. I just can’t seem to remember it. Oh, is it... applaud wildly?
Thumbs up if you think NC should team up with both Linkara and Angry Joe to review Superman Returns.
D Vass 👍🏻
They teamed up for Man of Steel and BvS.
I wanna do a review of Superman Returns one day.
Ummmmm...... about that...
Superman Returns was a sequel to Superman II, wasn't it? I thought the point of it was getting rid of III and IV out of continuity?
who would have thought that Lenny would go on to be one of the best live action Lex Luthor's on Supergirl.
"Lex Luthor, the greatest criminal mind of all time." 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.
I think most of my most favorite reviews are the one's Nc brings on either Linkara, Angry Joe, Spoonie, Nostalgia Chick to help him review. He should do it again. Please do more crossovers with them, as a team these review are beyond EPIC!!!
Please do more crossovers Nostalgia Critic!!!
I got some baaaaaad news for you...
Don't forget the Avgn and BlackNerdComedy.
I was confused for a second. I came here off of your Superman 2 video and was thinking “DAMN, he looks different”.
YOU CAN’T BREATHE IN SPACE GUYS! THIS IS KINDERGARTEN SCIENCE! KINDERGARTEN!
hahaha
I don't recall learning science in kindergarten.
Space is a vacuum! A VACUUM!!!! How can they get this wrong?! I’ve seen this film only once when it was streaming on Hulu! Their are so many things that do not logically make sense at all! “Hey, look at me I can go to space without a space suit and breathe!” NO!!You would suffocate and die!
Yeah I mean this is Jimmy neutron science.
@@InvestedGman And that show knew how stupid it was that they could breathe in space. They had Carl sing over the explanation of how they did it. They knew, but they also knew it was a kids show to have some fun with.
I don't have so much faith in this movie knowing in the first place..
Theory: NC was possessed by Casper and now both of there personalities have mixed. Examples, "timing" and the laughter with lightning.
1:06 I love the awkward tension here.
NC: Worse Green Screen effect in 3, 2, 1..
*UA-cam cuts to a comercial about Photoshop* XD
This was actually the first time I saw Linkara.
l first saw him in the Les Mis review
I had it worse, I had just gotten into the Critic's videos and this was the first time going back years to see his early work. I didn't even know that wasn't him, marveling at the differences, until he actually appeared, where I immediately burst out laughing as I realized my error.
S.Agent Gadirel - Uh... What? I didn't understand any of that
he thought linkara was the critic until he relised it wasnt
It was either this review or Alone in the Dark that got me into Lewis's stuff.
12:19 - that was a surprisingly inoffensive fall for a 1000 pound weight
Am I the only person who thought they'd been duped by a rip-off Channel when this started?
Nevertheless, a good review of an apparently painful movie.
Céline .S. Sauvé Céline .S. Sauvé oh you mean leisuresuitrantfiend
BAT CREDIT CARD!
+James Faraci A bat credit card? A bat...credit card? They had the BALLS to give one of the greatest superheroes of all time...A BAT CREDIT CARD? NOOOOO! NOOOOOOOO! DOES NOT COMPUTE! DOES NOT COMPUTE AREDJFDKLFDF!

21:49 He’s the Nostalgia Critic. He remembers it. So, you don’t have to.
7:19
"And now for quite possibly the worst green screen effect you've ever seen in three, two, one!"
*ad plays*
Me: ok, that's not that bad.
*ad ends and sees actual clip*
Me: oh no, yeah that's pretty bad.
Ironically, it played a Marvel ad for me. Maybe we were supposed to marvel at how bad the effect was 😂
In Soviet Russia, Physics Break YOU!
Martha Kent didn't resurrect herself in superman returns. Direcyor Bryan singer made it with the new continuity that superman 3 and 4 never happened.
aren't green crystals usually kryptonite?
also superman will pretty much acquire whatever power needed by the writer.
Nostalgia critic is one of my favorites.
Im still watching this for the thousand time in 2020 and still holds up!
13:30- I! Viggo! The scourge of Carpathia! The sorrow of Moldovia! Command you!
Years later John Cryer played Lex Luthor on CW’s Supergirl; full circle.
I hate to defend this movie, but Superman extends a field whenever he lifts things. It's why Superman could pick a boat up on one end and swing it like a bat, but if the hulk tried to do the same the ship would break.
Because superman needs more bloody powers!
Anthony Gretton super man having telekinesis isn't new.
Charley Newman that was an old john byrne idea....but they dropped that later, because it doesen‘t fit to good. Instead they used the idea later for the young superman clone from project cadamus........the newest incarnation of supes differs again.
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.
Considering Joh Cryer is going to play Lex Luther soon it’s ironic seeing him in this playing his nephew
Time Traveler: Moves a chair
The timeline: 0:00
21:43 A BAT CREDIT CARD!!!!
It was actually Georgian attire. The giant wig is a dead giveaway.
does that make it make more sense?
No. No it does not. If anything it makes less sense.
+Roberta Tallienne Shut up Douchey!
What the hell did I ever do to you?
+Roberta Tallienne Don't feed the troll.
Now that we're in quarantine, Nostalgia Critic should do some more of this classic crossovers
Oh, the blissful ignorance. They don't exactly see eye to eye anymore. Actually, everyone besides Brad don't see eye to eye with him.
@@LizardOfOz69 Well, I did mean the style of crossover..... But yeah, I don't know anything about the people involved
@@SoloJona oh, you mean you want more of Hocus Pocus, and Pink Floyd's The Wall? Literally the cancer of internet reviews?
@@LizardOfOz69 wut? Hey man, I don't know what you want from me, I wrote that comment 5 months ago, and I just meant crossovers with each person recording from home. I didn't watch the Pink Floyd review because I don't even know a single song by Pink Floyd, and clearly I'm not informed enough about anything else going on with their personal lives
@@SoloJona Long and the short of it: A bunch of former CA reviewers (including Linkara) published an open letter that alleged a toxic work culture within CA.
However, from what I can tell, Doug (at least in the last couple of years) has learnt from these bad mistakes and is trying to improve how things are done at CA. Plus some dumpster fire reviews like The Wall and lockdown kinda led to more of a return to basics for Nostalgia Critic as well.
Who here watching this after getting done with Critic's review of _Superman 3?_ 🤔
Me!
17:19 Gumby Powers Activate!!!
Throws brick “we’re safe now kids, we’re safe” ( Gravity falls reference )
1:13 He's giving you the Don Bluth Death Stare!
One of my favorite reviews from NC. It just flows so perfectly and doesn't take 20 minutes of skits that.....are just never funny.
It doesnt even make sense, even if Superman took out everyone's nuclear weapons, who cant say they simply make more weapons?
I'm not exaggerating when I say that for years I forgot this movie existed.
I did watch it when it was first shown on TV however many years after it was released, but until the early 2000s I had it in my mind that there was only 3 Superman movies.
That could've been your brain trying to protect you from the memory of this movie lol
If there was a parody of a Christmas song called, "Silver Bells," it would be like, "Superman, Superman! Superman, Superman! He comes from the planet Krypton!" Now, that would be an awesome holiday song.
I don't think crossovers have quite hit their peak yet, still experimental and such. But I feel this is one of the first to really work despite being unrefined. I doubt it's easy to do since someone has to work around BOTH sets of footage, but whoever did this pulled it off well.
I'm watching Doug's reviews of Superman 1-3 this month and coming back to one of his earlier reviews Superman IV, one of the worst superhero films ever made and its so bad it makes Batman and Robin look good.
I want NC to review the cut moments from the film, including the work print of the original Nuclear Man and his fight with Superman set to extremely silly music.
To the movie's credit, if Superman were to up and decide all nuclear weaponry should be destroyed, 'applaud wildly' is pretty much the only option you have...
5:34 When have they ever cancelled Power Rangers?
Several atempts were made
This episode came in 2009
So the show was actually cancelled for real at some thing point
Final season was gonna be rpm
Then saban got it back and it continued
Nostalgia Critic, you should review Cool World.
+nforbes90 I concur. MAKE IT HAPPEN CRITIC
+Jacob Hunter let's cross our fingers.
He finally did it.
6:02 love this kid and Nostalgia critic's response. lol
11:25
Wait, is that Jon Cryer?
The same guy who played Lex Luthor in the Supergirl tv show?
Superman 2 the Donner cut is pretty much the only Christopher Reeves Superman film worth seeing. It's actually the BEST Superman film yet. If you haven't seen the Richard Donner cut, you really really should.
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.
20:43 Lacy is nowhere to be seen either, she just disappears after Superman takes her back to Earth, she doesn't show again after that, she's not even mentioned after that, god I hate this movie.
6:36 “The Earth is over there, and over there needs to take care of it’s own problems!”
Superman: The Movie's Deleted Scenes Only on TV (In 1982).
Superman 2's Deleted Scenes Only On TV (In 1984).
Superman 3's Deleted Scenes Only On TV (In 1986).
Superman 4's Deleted Scenes, 2 on Laserdisc and VHS, And the rest on The Workprint.
Now each time I hear the superman theme I can't help but imagining jontron opening THE GREATEST GAME SYSTEM IN THE PLANET.
14:13 This part gets me every time
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%)
900bot Yeah
I'd rather watch Superman IV any day XD
Sam S I think I honestly would too
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.
*Lacy
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?
9:04 People of Metropolis: "Yeah, because its Superman! He can do anything! Who cares?!"
