everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Not as bad as the worst parts of the 3rd film but not as good as its best part either. It's just plainly bad, uninteresting and boring and the actors seem to know that too. Continuity or anything related to that is abandoned yet its silliness and sweetness doesn't make you hate it, just forget about it.

Easily one of the worst superhero movies and just one of the worst movies in general.This movie is hilariously bad. The effects look truly awful, the action scenes are funny and very silly, the story revolving around nuclear man was just stupid and again, funny. Somehow this movie has worse visual effects than the first even though it came out 9 years after.This film is watchable unlike some bad super hero movies because of how funny and stupid it is but it's truly a complete mess of a film and cannot be taken even the slightest bit seriously.

They were scrapping the bottom of the barrel when "Superman 4: The Quest for Peace" was unleashed upon an unprepared public! I made a quest for peace after seeing this rubbish! The budget had been reduced to practically nil, which is the worst thing that could have been done. To present anything resembling a remotely convincing illusion that a man can fly, there has to be money on the special effects and loads of it. The film may have had honourable intentions, this I don't doubt. Sadly, a poor story and a very poor script defeat this Superman movie. It was great to see Gene Hackman return as Lex Luthor (the character belongs to him) and at least he has some more scenes with Christopher Reeve. I don't particularly care for the villain Nuclearman. He is laughable rather than menacing. The only scene I thought was any good, is the one where Superman returns to his home farm in Smallville. He is in his disguise as Clark Kent as he takes a walk around the house and the barn, alone. He thinks back to the days when he was raised on that farm by Jonathan and Martha Kent. How time has elapsed since then, now that his earth parents are deceased. With no one else around, Superman feels he can be more like his real self and not acting as the clumsy oaf. Then a stranger pulls up at the Kent farm. I doubt if any of the film was filmed on location in America. More likely a lot of it was filmed in England. Box office takings were disappointing and a disaster.

(Flash Review)This has a 3.6 IMDb score. That is very low. This movie wasn't that bad. Much better that Superman III. Sure the effects are below standards even for '87 but it was amusing and had all the components for a complete comic book story. Lois and Lex Luthor are back for the full movie and there is a corny and stereotypical villain with superpowers. There are some cheesy battles in the city and Superman, as a public service announcement storyline, declares he will rid the world of nuclear weapons. It was fun and I got what I expected, perhaps a notch below but it certainly wasn't terrible. And I finally finished off the Reeves Superman era!
