Review of Superman II (1980) by Calum R — 30 Apr 2013
Superman II is a vast improvement of the original Superman. Where I was incredibly bored in the first movie at the start, in this movie I was hooked the entire time. The scene in Paris to start off the movie was awesome.
The fact that there were four villains instead of one in this movie was something that I enjoyed. Typically in superhero movies when you have too many villains it becomes too much (Spider-man 3), but in this film it works well.
A negative that I have is how much of a numskull Lois is. Not only does it take her an insanely long time to figure out that Clark Kent is Superman, but as a viewer I get the feeling that she only likes him while he's a superhero.
Overall, Superman II made improvements where the original lacked.
