Superman IV: The Quest for Peace

Movie Summary

Released: 1987
Superman (Christopher Reeve) tries to save the world from nuclear destruction at the hands of Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman) in this action film featuring the man of steel. In a speech to the United Nations, Superman declares he will rid the world of all nuclear weapons. Arch-villain Luthor emerges from prison obsessed with killing Superman and creates an adversary known as Nuclear Man (Mark Pillow). The two engage in a fight to the finish in various landmarks on Earth before taking their battle into outer space. When Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) invites both Superman and Clark Kent to a double-date dinner, Superman's powers are tested so that both men can be present. Jackie Cooper plays the gruff veteran newspaper editor Perry White, with Marc McClure as Jimmy Olsen. Sam Wanamaker plays tabloid tycoon David Warfield, the millionaire who buys the Daily Planet. Mariel Hemmingway is Warfield's daughter Lacy, Clark Kent's date at Lois' luxury apartment. This is the least interesting of the four Superman movies starring Christopher Reeve.

Couldn't agree more. This is the worst Superman film of all time! The sad part is that Christopher Reeve wrote the script. You'd think that this would've made it good. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case. I enjoyed the first three movies (even some of the cheesiness in Superman III), but this one was TERRIBLE! Thank God they gave us Superman Returns, which does well at paying homage to the originals from the 80s.

I disagree. . . .Number Three was the worst one by FAR!!! I love Richard Pryor, but come on! Horrible acting, a lame plot, and very few laughs. A total waste of time. At least Four had an interesting message against nuclear power. And a villain with Shadoe Stevens hair, too!
