Filled with cheap gags, really horrible visual effects, a lazy story, a very bad musical score by Alexander Courage, a terrible villain (Nuclear Man), and some tiresome performances by the cast (except for Christopher Reeve), Superman IV: The Quest For Peace is one of the worst films ever made, the one of the worst movie sequels of all time, and the worst Superman film of all time. It is the kryptonite nail in the coffin for the Superman films, and none of the films after this even tried to save the Man Of Steel from his own detriment.
Review By: Monoval

_**The least of the tetralogy due to a slashed budget and the corresponding cheesy F/X**_

Superman (Christopher Reeve) destroys all nuclear warheads on Earth for the sake of world peace, but Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman) has discovered a way to make a nuclear-powered thrall from Supes’ DNA and the energy of the Sun. Meanwhile a tycoon & his daughter take over The Daily Planet (Sam Wanamaker & and Mariel Hemingway).

“Superman IV: The Quest for Peace” (1987) is the weakest of the quadrilogy because the Salkind family sold the franchise to a Grade B production company, Cannon, and so instead of the healthy $39 million budget of “Superman III” (1983) it was slashed to $17 million (although it was originally supposed to be $36 million), which is apparent in the low-rent opening credits and the non-special effects throughout.

Other than that glaring flaw, the main cast returns and the story is decent, augmented by the kick-axx Nuclear Man (Mark Pillow) and the continuation of Clark’s relationship with Lois (Margot Kidder).

The first two movies are standout sci-fi motion pictures, despite hailing from the late ’70s, and the third one has worthy themes if you can adjust to the parody tone and cartoonish presence of Richard Pryor (at least his character has a worthy story arc). This one, by contrast, is disappointing due to the second rate vibe. While there are some entertaining elements, the drop in quality is just too noticeable.

The film runs 1 hour, 30 minutes, and was shot entirely in England with establishing shots of New York City, The Golden Gate Bridge, The Great Wall of China, etc.

GRADE: C

Is this film so bad?
I have just watched the 89 minute cut of superman 4 and i’ve asked myself is this a stinker of a film or not and my answer to that is no i don’t think it is.

Why you ask when most of the world thinks it is well i shall tell you.

Well it’s world renowned that cannon were cheapskates and the budget was only 10 million on this film but that aside what Sidney j furie did with this film was i think a much better film than superman 3.

I liked the story the acting i think was on par with the other films and i enjoyed the action scene’s especially the fight around the world with the nuclear man and it kept me entertained however there are bad points about this film as much as it kept me entertained which included Lenny who was as about as much use in this film as a chocolate tea pot and “THE NUCLEAR MAN” what purpose does he serve in this film he is that bad that Gene Hackman has to voice him so i can only imagine Marc pillow was more wooden than a park bench and also when superman and nuclear man are fighting in space it’s so obvious that they are on a blacked out stage.

What really bothers me about this film is that somebody out there has the full 143 minute version and i think this is the problem with superman 4 the general public have seen a watered down version which in some places this film makes no sense where as the full version that was laughed at by critics in an advanced screening would make more sense than this version we have to put up with and lets face it the real critics are real movie fans who do not get paid for there views unlike these posh art house lovers who would dissect care bears the movie if they had the chance.

In closing i would like to say two things about this movie (1) This film is voted one of the worst films of all time because we have a watered down version that makes no sense in places.

(2)Warner brothers or cannon whoever has the rights to the full uncut version do the decent thing and give us the general public and superman lovers across the world the the right to view superman 4 the quest for peace in it’s full uncut glory if not for us then let’s have Christopher reeve doing what he does best in these films and entertaining us and believing that a man can really fly

Worth a few laughs
I recently watched “Superman IV” for the first time since…well, 1987, I guess. How time flies.

I thought the first half-hour was actually pretty good – not luminous, but fine. The hostile takeover of the Daily Planet is interesting, and I enjoyed Superman’s moral dilemma about the nuclear missile situation (some reviews suggest that Superman is all gung-ho about disarming the world; in fact, he’s initially quite reluctant to do so).

But after that decent first half hour, the movie pretty much falls apart. The Daily Planet storyline is resolved abruptly and unconvincingly – I simply can’t accept that Muriel Hemingway’s character undergoes a total conversion from yellow journalist to an editor with integrity. What exactly inspires this change of heart, besides the fact that she’s hot for stumbling, stupid Clark Kent?

The nuclear missile plot is also glossed over. I’m not exactly sure why Superman decides to abandon his disarmament mission; just because Lex Luthor’s given him some trouble, suddenly he’s not in favor of world peace? The movie simply doesn’t explore his decision-making processes thoroughly enough.

Another strangely underdeveloped plot line is the sale of the Kent farm. In an early scene, we find out that a “big developer” is interested in buying the farm, but Clark would prefer to sell it to a small-time farmer. This is actually a pretty nice segment, pleasingly reminiscent of the first film, but it comes to absolutely nothing, as the sale of the farm is never mentioned again. Huh?

Some of these plotting problems doubtless arise from the fact that about 40 minutes were chopped out of the film before its release. However, I’ve heard that a lot of the missing footage is devoted to action, so it probably plugs relatively few of the aforementioned plot gaps. Anyway, what really matters is that the theatrical release is semi-incomprehensible.

The special effects are another big minus for the film. For example, the same terrible “green screen” shot of Superman flying toward the audience is reused about eight times, and it’s so bad that you didn’t even want to see it once. I know this film had a limited $17 million budget, but for goodness’ sake, I’ve seen better special effects done on much smaller TV budgets.

And yet…and yet…I can’t bring myself to hate this movie. At a mere 90 minutes, it’s much pacier (and more sincere) than the plodding, dreadful “Superman III.” Also, it’s nice to see Margot Kidder and Gene Hackman back in substantial roles after they were basically ignored in the previous film. Hackman’s performance as Lex Luthor is always pretty funny, even if he’s playing it on auto-pilot; I particularly enjoy the moment when he lights his cigar using Nuclear Man’s radioactive aura.

I don’t even object to the presence of Mariel Hemingway, who is strangely sexy in this movie – though somehow I feel obliged to point out that an actress with a one-scene cameo as a teacher is actually the prettiest woman in the whole thing.

Even the much-maligned special effects have a certain campy charm. And, you know, Nuclear Man is cool in certain dumb ways; he gives Superman a tough fight, which makes him at least somewhat interesting. He looks ridiculous, of course, but I don’t really sweat his mullet as much as everyone else does. (When are we going to get over this whole childish mullet obsession, anyway?)

Despite this praise, I should note that, toward the ending of the movie, Nuclear Man flies into space carrying Hemingway…and she survives, despite the fact that she’s not wearing a space suit. That complete lack of realism, attention to detail, whatever you want to call it – I guess that’s typical of the whole movie. But I still get a laugh out of it.
