The weakest of the Superman movies

That's the consensus, yeah.

I would agree with that.

Nah. IMO it isn't that good but it's better than Superman 3 imo. Certainly has more entertaining moments than 3 imo too. The first 2 are massively better but between watching 3 and watching 4 I will take 4.
Just to name some scenes I like that are much sillier than the first 2 but better than 3...
1. The scenes about him getting rid of nuclear bombs. I like it even if it's stupid.
2. Every scene of Lex Luthor though his nephew is annoying.
3. The fights with Nuclear Man.

I know why people vehemently hate it but I still prefer the 4th one to the 3rd any day.

Maybe it is the weakest, but it is also the most action packed.

Sidney Furie directed this, and he was a good action director. The fight scenes between Superman & Nuclear Man are great stuff. Nuclear Man is a great comic book character, voiced by Gene Hackman himself.

I'd still rather watch this film than any more recent comic book superhero movie, even if it probably is a bit shit.

Yep. Had less than half the budget of S3.

A third of that was Reeves salary.

The film then earned less than S3 cost to make.

It's far better than Man of Steel
