Review of Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987) by Dann M — 04 May 2013
Hitting a series low, Superman IV: The Quest for Peace is all kinds of bad. When Superman unilaterally decides to rid the world of nuclear weapons he falls prey to Lex Luthor's scheme to create Nuclear Man, a superhuman with all the same powers as Superman.
Starring Christopher Reeve, Gene Hackman, Mariel Hemingway, and Margot Kidder, the film has a solid cast that attempts to make the material work; but try as they might, they fail. The writing is just terrible, the tone is uneven, and the plot is full of holes.
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace is a poorly made film that lacks the fun and excitement that made the series so popular.
