Pros: Excellent characterization between Clark and Lois; "Kneel before Zod"
Cons: Where did all these strange new powers come from? Bad, bad form!
Summary: One of my favourite scenes in Superman II is the impending doom of the Eiffel Tower. Terrorists have managed to hijack the monument and have planted a bomb to blow up this great structure if their demands are not met. Lois Lane, in her trademarked ...

Pros: Action! Romance! Tons of fun moments, great villains, entertaining!
Cons: Some hella stupid moments
Summary: Let's skip the drama about how the first Superman movie director, Richard Donner, was kicked off the sequel, 1980's Superman II, only to be replaced by a less interested Richard Lester (or Dick as I refer to him affectionately). ...Okay, I won't ...

Pros: Good cast. Entertaining movie for the most part.
Cons: Certain things weren't explained. Turned campy at times.
Summary: Superman has been a popular character for years, so it was probably only a matter of time before a major movie was made featuring the character. Superman: The Movie was released in 1978 and was very successful. It ...

Pros: Reeve and Kidder; good blend of romance and action
Cons: A plot hole the size of Metropolis (or Lex Luthor's ego)
Summary: Oh the thrill of seeing Superman again! Those of us who had fallen a little in love with the man of steel in 1978's Superman: The Movie were excited to see Christopher Reeve return to the role, and the story return to the big screen, with 1980's ...

Pros: Cast, story
Cons: Two directors, lack of "White" and "Olsen", Supercriminals never seen or mentioned after this appearance.
Summary: Years ago, on the planet of "Krypton", three master-criminals (Terrance Stamp, Sarah Douglas and Jack O'Halloran) were trapped and sentenced to the "Phantom Zone" for all eternity. Years later, on the planet Earth, one of the greatest criminals known, ...

Pros: Very good about what it means to be Superman
Cons: But, Lord almighty, the cons are too many to count
Summary: I like Superman II more than the first, but I have to concede that it's basically, like most sequels, the bigger and more inflated version of the original. Everything that the first movie gets right, the second movie gets even righter. And ...

Pros: You'll believe a man can fly.
Cons: Some questions are raised in the movie to scenes that make no sense.
Summary: Superman II is a movie that picks up from where the first one left off more or less and that's because II was filmed with 1 back to back. It's the movie that made Christopher Reeve an overnight star and a household name. That movie begins with Jor El ...

Pros: Finishes the story begun in Superman: The Movie.
Cons: Richard Lester's "lighter" approach makes fans miss Donner's talents as a director....
Summary: Shot simultaneously with Superman: The Movie, this first of three sequels proved to be one of those Hollywood rarities - a sequel just as good as the original. Because Mario Puzo (author of both the Godfather novel and the screenplays) had ...

Pros: Good story. Great action and fight scenes between the superhero and supervillains.
Cons: Margot Kidder's lame acting. Choppy editing between director's styles.
Summary: "Superman II" is, arguably, the best of the films in the Superman series. It has probably the best storyline and really delivers in terms of excitement, action, and also humor. Where "Superman" was a great start to this series, introducing movie-going...

Pros: Clark/Lois/Superman triangle heats up, villains to challenge the Man of Steel
Cons: DVD cut some scenes from earlier versions...
Summary: Superman II is often considered the best of the four Superman films starring Christopher Reeve, and with good reason. While everyone can see that the third and fourth movies are inferior installments that killed the franchise, the first and second are...

Pros: The villains are better and more challenging.
Cons: There are none! It's Superman!
Summary: Superman is back in a big way! I have been a massive Superman fan for as long as I can remember and I apparently used to drive my parents insane by constantly wanting to watch Superman.
Now I believe that the first Superman was the best of...

Pros: A decent movie with some good action sequences.
Cons: Suspension of disbelief is difficult in some parts.
Summary: I first saw "Superman II" in the theater 20 years ago, after listening to a co-worker's description of it on one evening shift. I had some reservations, though, because while she described parts of it as good, she also described some...

Pros: Many Entertaining Aspects, Good Special Effects, and Is Able to Expand the Characters
Cons: Some Lazy and Silly Areas In the Story
Summary: Superman II is generally considered as the last good movie in the franchise as it took a steady decline in the process. The movie itself has its ups but it also has many downs. Superman II manages to be high in the entertainment factor as it provides...

Pros: Best of the Series. Good action scenes.
Cons: weak, time consuming subplot. Some inconsistencies.
Summary: Easily the best of the Superman series, with the first movie being the only other one worth having been made. I like fantasy and science fiction movies and am willing to 'suspend disbelief' easily to accommodate whatever premise the movie makers set up....
