I honestly
didn’t know which format to use for this one.
I do not
like Superman 3, I hope my review during the summer made that clear. I don’t
like its overly comedic tone, it’s boring villains, Gus, just generally Gus and
the complete waste of any potential in Smallville. Still, it was successful
enough to get another sequel, although the changes are much bigger this time.
Let’s start
off with the budget, a significant slash from Superman III, that’s because
allegedly Golan Globulus, the studio behind the movie, took investor’s money and
invested it in other projects. Either way, this movie had a budget of only $17m
and boy does that show, but that’s getting ahead of ourselves. Despite the low
budget, the film was a financial failure and the entire franchise was put on
the back burner until Superman Returns in the 2000s (I'll cover that one eventually, but given recent allegations against Kevin Spacey, it'll be a while).
This is
regarded as not just the worst Superman movie, but one of the worst movies ever
made, so why am I conflicted? Let’s take a closer look at hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
sorry, Superman IV: The Quest for Peace
