Consensus: The Superman series bottoms out here: the action is boring, the special effects look cheaper, and none of the actors appear interested with where the plot's going.
Runtime: 90 mins
Genre: Science-Fiction/Fantasy

But Lex Luthor, now a nuclear arms entrepreneur, creates Nuclear Man--a solar-powered Kryptonia Android and genetic clone whose powers equal (and potentially surpass) those of Superman--to rid the world of the Man of Steel. Christopher Reeve once again dons the Superman costume, this time for director Sidney J. Furie (LADY SINGS THE BLUES), receiving wonderful support from regulars Margot Kidder, Gene Hackman, and Jackie Cooper in addition to newcomers Mariel Hemingway and Jon Cryer. [More]

Reviews for Superman IV: The Quest for Peace
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace could be one of those 'so bad it is good' movies for some people but I couldn't even find it funny.
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.
Somewhere between the cheesy special effects and lame story the whole movie falls flat.
