Editorial Review:
Description:
Christopher Reeve not only dons the title hero's cape for the fourth time but also helped develop the movie's provocative theme: nuclear disarmament. "For me, it's the most personal of the entire series," Reeve said. "It directly reflects what Superman should be, and should be doing." Superman does a lot this time around. To make the world safe for nuclear arms merchants, Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman) creates a new being to challenge the Man of Steel: the radiation-charged Nuclear Man (Mark Pillow). The two foes clash in an explosive extravaganza that sees Superman save the Statue of Liberty, plug a volcanic eruption of Mount Etna and rebuild the demolished Great Wall of China. Your quest for excitement is over!

The law of diminishing returns: It's the law--obey it! Someone should have posted that sign on the set of this, the third sequel to the film based on the DC Comics superhero. The "IV" in the title refers to medical supplies needed to resuscitate this anemic retread. This one reportedly was a pet project of actor Christopher Reeve, whose career seemed to flounder whenever he tried a role minus the blue underwear and red cape. Before agreeing to don the suit one more time, he insisted on a script that preached nuclear disarmament. So, in this film, Superman rounds up all the missiles and warheads and flings them into outer space. Which still leaves him to contend with Lex Luthor, who has a secret weapon: Nuclear Man. Yawn. Having pushed the envelope of special effects in the first film, it seemed as if the filmmakers simply stopped trying with this one. --Marshall Fine

i've enjoyed it very much; it was better than III. a lot of crucial scenes were cut out in 4. i hope they'll release a special edition in the future. i still want to see those scenes placed into the movie. there were a lot of flying sequences that were nice. Superman the movie 1978 will be 30 years old. enjoy. i still miss c. reeve.

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace is a decent film that has good morals to its story. Unfortunately, the Golan-Globus decided to cut back on just about every thing and doomed Superman IV to a bad box office take making it the lowest grossing Superman film in the Christopher Reeve franchise.
Gene Hackman returns with his newest creation Nuclear Man. Personally I thought the character of Nuclear Man was good. Had more money been available they would have been able to do more with the ... Read More

I found Superman IV an improvement over Superman III. In 3, it's pretty much about Pryor's character than Reeve (don't get me wrong though, he did a great job). But the character just punches a few buttons when he's training and voila! He finds a hidden talent. That's not normal, you either know you have it or you don't. I found Superman's Great Wall of China Vision more believable. The one thing that should've been apart of the story is the paranoia of a god-like character being pretty much in control ... Read More

I think the most frustrating thing about this movie is that it could have been so much better. If you look at the movie in the context of the time in which it was created, late 80's when their really was a nuclear arms race, this movie could have really done a lot to help children understand the desperate need to handle this nuclear problem. Instead all Writers for this movie could come up with was, "lets have every country that has nuclear weapons shoot them into the air so Superman can get them and throw ... Read More

SUPERMAN 4, THE QUEST FOR PEACE wasn't a bad idea. Chris Reeve really wanted to make a statement about nuclear weapons. Problem is, he literally stands there and makes his statement. Now, where do we go from here?
Nowhere.
Okay, Gene Hackman is back as Lex Luthor. Now, he just wants to sell lotsa weapons to anyone who will pay. Oh, yes: he also creates a clone (Eighties buzzword alert!) of Superman's DNA who buzzes and sparks a lot, and is called Nuclear Man (or new-kyoo-ler ... Read More
