Review of Superman II (1980) by Mccorpse — 02 Mar 2013

Liked this one a lot, in my opinion it was probably even better than the first one. One of the biggest reasons would probably be the villains. They are a physical match for superman so they pose more of a threat than lex luthers so called intelligence.

Since supermans new villains can fly there is one really good scene of them battling it out and throwing large objects at each other and fighting while flying. The dated special effects add a cheese factor but its really fun to watch.

There is also a very cool scene on the moon that felt very sci-fi like, this was a great scene I thought looked very cool. These two things were in my opinion better than anything that happened in the origonal.

On the negative side though there was some pretty stupid plot elements that might be hard for some people to look passed, I personally just laughed and shrugged it off. One thing I found funny was how supermans mom tells him he can turn into a human but will never be able to regain his old powers and then he easilly gets his powers back using the green crystal, that was ridiculous, also lex luthers escape from jail in a hot air balloon was silly.
