Reviews

From Amazon.co.uk

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 film, which finds Superman grappling with the conflict between his responsibilities as Earth's saviour 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

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Film Ever ! 6 Aug 2001
Format:DVD
Superman 2 overall is the best Superman film ever made. Christopher Reeve once again plays the characters of Superman and Clark Kent which he does absolutely brilliantly. The way he plays the two character's different personalities shows how talented he really is.

This film shows Superman facing his greatest battle of all against three villians from his home planet Krypton. These three have the same powers as Superman and plan to take over the planet Earth. This they do actually achieve for about three days as Superman and Lois Lane fall in love and are unaware of what disaster the world is in.

The three villians led by General Zod who is played by the talented actor Terence Stamp, are unaware that there is someone on earth that can stop them. Until Lex Luther superbly escapes from jail and informs them of Superman. General Zod realises that Superman's father Jor'el is the one that jailed them while they were residents on Krypton and decides to get revenge by challenging Superman to a battle.

This film has brilliant special effects and an excellant story line. The great story line is due to the way they join together a love story with the fairy tale action.

This one is not be missed.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the top grossing films of 1981!! 21 Mar 2004
By A Customer
Format:DVD
Its easy to understand why this movie became an enduring classic.
All the actors in Superman II played even better then in the first. It was one of the most expensive films to date. The special-effects stands up very well even today. They used different types of effect shots in the superman films because they where made long before computer animation. Some of them are glas painting and motion blurring. This movie will always be remembered as one of the biggest science fiction films ever made.

Buy it today!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Far from Super
This is an awful piece of work.
The quality is of a much lower standard the `REAL' Superman II, and the ending is just, if not more ridiculous than the original cut. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Epic
An extraordinary epic with some pretty good stunts and special effects - in the days when there was NO CGI! Continues the story of the great caped crusader.
