It's short.
It has actors in the scenes.
It's short.

It's short.
It doesn't make sense in any order you put the film in.
It is edited together incredibly poorly.
The main Vilian Sucks.
Superman is an Idiot now and does weird things.
It's Cheap.
It looks like dog doo doo.
I can go on...
I don't like this film, I like the Idea but everything in this film is just made badly. It was clearly made very cheaply like the money made from Superman III couldn't push it even to quality standards at the time.
The only thing I like is maybe Clarks Date, and I don't know what happened to Miss Lane but it looks like she's been in a terrible accident.
I don't know about the actual actors' health at the time but sheesh she looked bad in this film.
Superman IV: The Quest for More Budget, I think WB at that point should have just cut their losses after Superman III, because everything that happens in here almost wipes the slate clean from the previous film.
Is this a bad film overall? Yes, it's clear as day.
Is it entertaining? A little bit.
4/10 it's missing a lot of what made the previous films enjoyable, it doesn't take its time, scenes are cut very poorly, and Characters are just doing things that have no representation in the actual plot. The first half of the movie is completely Pointless, Completely.
Luckily this is the last Superman film with Christopher Reeves. Thank you for being a really cool Superman and Showing a Side of Superman that most people would relate to, also I like this version of Clark Kent, the clumsy, goody guy is a great personality.
Well, that's It, that's all the Superman Films....Until Superman Returns.
