February 6, 2011This last Superman movie has a very obvious sub-plot about nuclear war, and it's also very cheesy. It's not as bad as the third one, but it's still not a great superhero movie. Overall, it's okay.

May 27, 2010While it does have one of the craziest villians of all time, Nuclear Man, it is not enough to make this movie worthwhile. The plot is laughable and the acting is atrocious. It was a tad better than part III, but still a disaster and horrible conclusion to the series. While it's g... read more

September 10, 2009"Superman 4 - The Quest for Peace" is without a doubt my least favorite of the four Superman movies. This last time around, Superman (Christopher Reeve) has a plan to put an end to nuclear war altogether by getting rid of all the world's nuclear weapons. But it won't be as easy a... read more

December 27, 2008Did you see Superman III? If you thought that movie was terrible then just wait until you see Superman IV: The Quest For Peace. You'll believe a man can fly in front of a blue screen with shoddy special effects work and a script that should have been used to wipe someone's ass.

October 23, 2007Terrible! SFX were hopelessly bad. Who wrote the script? Shoot them please!

July 30, 2007Superman IV didn't do much for anybody. There's an anti-war message, bad special effects, an over-the-top laughable super villain, a political Superman, childish opening credits, lack of heroic rescues, an absence of Lois Lane and Lanna Lang - what did they expect when they slapp... read more

By ordinary movie standards it's awful, but fans of cinematic dementia should have fun for about half an hour. Full Review

The Superman series gets more and more whimsically outrageous as it goes along. Full Review

More sluggish than a funeral barge, cheaper than a sale at K mart, it's a nerd, it's a shame, it's Superman IV. Full Review

With the passing of the production torch to infamous budget tightwads Golan and Globus, it was clear that the worst was yet to come. Full Review

Disappointing to say the least, but at least it doesn't have Richard Pryor this time as its star.

Peter Canavese, Groucho Reviews
The cut-rate production resulted in what Reeve termed "catastrophe" for a film intended to marry a serious message to the series' signature action, humor, and romance.
