      Yeah, why does he shut down immediately? Shouldn't his body work like a laptop? Sure you unplugged the power chord but you still have a battery to last you a while. Superman works like this too. He gets his powers from the sun, so when he's badly defeated he just flies to the sun to recharge. This really reminds me of vampire films where the shadow of Nosferatu/Dracula would cause instant withering of flowers. Infection doesn't work fast like that. Even his victims go through a period of sickness.

    Superman IV did have one good purpose: Christopher Reeve, in exchange for doing this, was able to get financing for a project he had wanted to do for years. It was called "Street Smart," and it revived the career of an actor who had spent the last decade struggling to find work since he had been on a kid show.
    The actor? Morgan Freeman.

    Y'know what could've been a far more interesting movie?

Then Superman would feel terrible and everyone would hate him until he did something awesome to make them like him again.

    • @dudeman5685
      @dudeman5685 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Yeah I've read the original story too, and it is just as naive as Superman IV - he gets the two leaders in the same room and they can't figure out why they are fighting, so Supes says that it is obvious they are just pawns of munitions manufacturers.
      I laughed my ass off. That is so simplistic it is almost a parody of a "peace" message. Complex geopolitical issues can't be just wished away like that.

    I feel like this movie manages the almost impossible: it covers Superman, a concept that has been handled poorly on many occasions, and manages to do it in a bad way that actually makes it entertaining.
    Like fucking up Superman is like fucking up a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. When the comics make things too ridiculous, or when Man of Steel gets the tone wrong, it's always an epic failure that nobody likes. But this movie manages to make things ridiculous, while maintaining that perfect childish level of cheesiness that makes watching it for the first time feel nostalgic. It's like getting a glimpse back to childhood: when you'd play with toys and set up these crazy fights between two action figures, and they knock over blocks you put up, and in the end you have one of the action figures pick up a Hotwheels car and place it in a little jail cell and say "You're busted, evildoer!"
    This is just one of those movies that just inspires childish creativity.

      That is... fantastic. You are absolutely correct. What makes Superman interesting is when he CAN'T use his godlike power (do you save Lois, or Hackensack, New Jersey?) and has to decide who lives or dies, or has to THINK as opposed to just punch the problem away.

    Comparing Superman IV to Man of Steel is a great way to understand what was wrong with New 52. Superman IV was the Silver Age at its worst, random powers, hokey dialogue and cheese. Man of Steel was probably the best of New 52, and it understood Superman less than Arrow understands Oliver Queen.

    From a purely objective standpoint, Superman should go for Lacie rather than Lois. The only reason Lois ever begins to truly care about Clark is when she finds out that he's Superman; once she "forgets", she goes back to ignoring/insulting him (Smallville's Clark/Lois relationship is more believable, since they actually formed a respectful bond over time and Clark was able to show courage in his "non-super" form; once Lois found out about his secret she was already beginning to love Clark anyway).
    In Lacie's case, however, she cares for Clark, despite all his apparent goofy nerdy ways, and would probably love him even more once she knew he was Superman, rather than his "super-ness" needing to be an absolute requirement like it is in Lois' case.

    You know, for all of Man of Steel's faults (Believe me, there is a lot of them and I don't consider it to be a good movie by any stretch.)
    It at least LOOKS pretty. The CGI, while incredibly obvious, did allow for some of the most exciting flying sequences this side of the How To Train Your Dragon films.
    Now, do I think Man of Steel is a good Superman movie? Nope. I consider it to be the forth best...by default. I consider it to be better than Superman Returns, Superman III, and Superman IV in that order.
    The best ones being Superman: The Movie, The Richard Donner Cut of Superman II, and Regular Superman II.
    But, that's just me. I do respect Brad for his steadfast opinion.

    Superman 4 is a bad film, but an enjoyably cheesy bad film. Man of Steel is a decent film, but not a great Superman film. Zack Snyder himself has described Superman as a boring character and wanted him to be a brooding anti-hero. If he didn't want to make a Superman film...why call it Superman?! Why not create a new superhero for the modern audience or use one of the hundreds of dark and brooding anti-heroes from across comics and manga? Yes, Superman has killed at least 5 times in 90 years, but Superman would weep and be emotionally devastated at inadvertantly killing or failing to prevent millions of lives lost and an entire city destroyed. He wouldn't french kiss in front of Metropolis's ruin. That's something Deadpool would do. That's something Frank Castle would do. That is NOT something Superman would do!

I was pleased that Brad showed that scene because it saved me the pain of having to watch the film again just to verify that I wasnt misremembering it. And yes, I was also jealous of he actors in the live action segments of The Super Mario Brothers Super Show because they also had an NES as a prop on the set.

    I think Superman IV: The Quest for Peace is one of the worst movies ever made... But at the same time, its very fun to watch. It kinda has a Plan 9 from Outer Space feel to it... The film fails on just about every level of filmmaking. Its almost amazing...
    Story wise, this movie is just an excuse to preach against the cold war, and shove anti-nuclear propaganda in our faces. The whole film feels like a ninety minute PSA special. Go back and watch the scenes where Superman speaks against nuclear weapons and tell me you don't get that vibe...
