Review of Superman II (1980) by Carlos D — 14 Mar 2014

(54%).

Unlike today were the studios aim their big movies solely at teenage boys to the detriment of everything else (Man of steel), whilst back in the day they at least tried to make a movie everyone can enjoy. So here there is at least some romantic interaction between Lois and Clark, there is some light-hearted fun, and Superman by the end isn't at least partly responsible for the death of millions of people. There is no desire to make him dark and moody either, he is just a good guy that wants to help people whenever he can. The plot/script is more than a little broken here though as Lois almost kills herself trying to find out if Clark is Superman which just doesn't work, and some of the dialogue is weak. But it is fun and very entertaining, just not as solid as the original.
