I just got done watching “Superman IV: The Quest for Peace” on Blu Ray, the final Superman movie starring Christopher Reeve. Yep, I still say the film is the worst Superman film ever made. I had to stuck through it just to make the money’s worth for the Blu Ray set.
The film is not all the way bad, however, there were just a few good scenes. For example, I loved the scene where Clark goes back to his Smallville home where Jonathan and Martha Kent used to live. I also actually liked how Superman showed the emotional side of him when he refused to respond to Jeremy’s letter on getting rid of Nuclear arms. Plus, Lex Luthor’s nephew, Lenny (played by Jon Cryer) was actually a good character and funny too. Those are the good things I can say about “Superman IV”.
Everything else is just really bad. Too many plot holes, terrible special effects, some of the action scenes were very silly and plus, Nuclear Man is just a horrible villain. I’ve read somewhere that Christopher Reeve was the one who created the Nuclear Man character ’cause Chris had a hand in the writing part for “Superman IV”.
I find it really sad that “Superman IV” had to be Chris’s last Superman movie. I just wish Chris could be around to make another one. RIP Chris Reeve.
The Superman Blu Ray set is really nice so far though. I’m loving it so much! I’ll watch “Superman: Returns” on Blu Ray later this week.
