Reviews for Superman IV: The Quest for Peace
Top CriticThe special effects are decidedly on the cheap side.

Top CriticBy ordinary movie standards it's awful, but fans of cinematic dementia should have fun for about half an hour.
04/17/07
Top CriticDisappointing to say the least, but at least it doesn't have Richard Pryor this time as its star.

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.
07/05/06
...this final sigh of a movie manages to send the series out with a feeble yet breathing dignity. It's bad, but it's better than III in that it does try to rise above itself.

About as dreary as a summit conference in Belgium.

Avoid!

That this movie is how the Superman movie legacy ended would be a depressing thought if the movie weren’t so endlessly hilarious.

The Superman series gets more and more whimsically outrageous as it goes along.
05/20/03
Top CriticShould have been a quest for a better script. Ridiculous, tedious, and lifeless. Characters a shadow of their former selves. A sad note for the franchise to end on.
03/22/03
Godawful, pointless, preachy sequel.
02/07/03
Quickly followed by Superman V: The Need to Explain What The Hell We Were Thinking.
