i've enjoyed it very much; it was better than III. a lot of crucial scenes were cut out in 4. i hope they'll release a special edition in the future. i still want to see those scenes placed into the movie. there were a lot of flying sequences that were nice. Superman the movie 1978 will be 30 years old. enjoy. i still miss c. reeve.

The Quest for Peace, 2008-08-21
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace is a decent film that has good morals to its story. Unfortunately, the Golan-Globus decided to cut back on just about every thing and doomed Superman IV to a bad box office take making it the lowest grossing Superman film in the Christopher Reeve franchise.

Gene Hackman returns with his newest creation Nuclear Man. Personally I thought the character of Nuclear Man was good. Had more money been available they would have been able to do more with the character.

Christopher Reeve co-writes this film and in my opinion does a decent job on where he wanted this film to go. But you can't get past the fact that the original cut of the film was 138-Min and was edited down to a theatrical/home video/dvd release of 89-Min.

This DVD edition offers some great extras, the best being the deleted scenes which are 30-Mins!!!!! in length. This will give you a better idea as to what the original version of the film would have looked like. But there are still about 15-20-Mins of deleted scenes out there. Hopefully one day some one will do with Superman IV what was done with Superman II and we will get a Superman IV: The Quest for Peace - Extended Edition.

Christopher Reeve gives a great performance and makes Superman IV a good addition to your Superman library.
