Editorial Review:
The man of steel has his hands full with three superpowered villains who escape from their phantom zone prison and decide to make the earth their playground. While superman falls in love with lois lane. Studio: Ingram Entertainment Release Date: 02/08/2005 Starring: Gene Hackman Christopher Reeve Run time: 127 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Richard Lester
Director Richard Lester (A Hard Day's Night) took over the franchise with this first sequel in the series, though the film doesn't look much like his usual stylish work. (Superman III is far more Lesteresque.) Still, there is a lot to like about this movie, which finds Superman grappling with the conflict between his responsibilities as Earth's savior and his own needs of the heart. Choosing the latter, he gives up his powers to be with Lois Lane (Margot Kidder), but the timing is awful: three renegades from his home planet, Krypton, are smashing up the White House, aided by the mocking Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman). The film isn't nearly as ambitious as its predecessor, but the accent on relationships over special effects (not that there aren't plenty of them) is very satisfying. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - What would YOU give up to be with the one you love?
At remember as soon as I finished watching the first Superman movie, I was straight online to get the rest. I ended up buying Superman II, and Superman Returns, but adding Superman III & IV to my wishlist. Thank God I didn't buy the lot. Because that would have been a big mistake.
Before people start judging, I have not seen the Richard Donner cut of Superman II. Judging my some reviews, it sounds better, but there's also a lot of reviewers who say this version, directed by David ... Read More
Rating: - Fun to watch.
Superman 2 is a really good movie.Superman 2 has more action and is way more fun than the original.This version is good but the Donner Cut is way better.
Rating:  - Superman II...THE BEST!!
I really got into this Superman movie when it came out 25 years ago. It has all the excitement, action and thrills fans have expected through these years. Wonderful performances by Christopher Reeve and Terence Stamp! This movie rocks!!
Rating: - Great sequel to Superman: The Movie!
The followup to "Superman: The Movie" keeps the fast paced action moving along as Jor-L struggles with his feelings for Lois Lane while three Kryptonian supervillains ravage the planet Earth only to meet up with none other than Lex Luthor: the greatest criminal mind of all time. I personally haven't read all the trivia about Richard Donner vs. Richard Lester, special Donner editions, Hollywood politics, etc. All I can tell you is that "Superman: The Movie" and "Superman II" are both awesome, they ...

Rating: - The Best Superman
Other than that waste of a film, Superman V, this is the only Superman where the Man of Steel has to go against someone with superhuman powers. And it wasn't just one, but four villains from the planet Krypton that has the same powers as Superman.
But it wasn't just doing battle with the other Supermen (well, one was a superwoman) that made this great, but it also showed the human side of Superman as he makes the choice to become mortal for Lois Lane's sake. Then there was the continual ... Read More
