Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)

Better than the tedious Superman Returns/Man Of Steel

Bad effects aside, this one is definitely more fun than the tedious and dull Superman Returns and Man Of Steel stuff - an overload of special effects does not make an engaging film.

The performances here are all top notch as usual and the plot moved swiftly without taking itself too seriously. The franchise has always been silly - stupid even - especially when we remember that Richard Donner's Superman had Ned Beatty as the moronic Otis.

The silliness has always been integral to the Superman series.
