An average movie

Obviously, since this movie has a really lousy reputation, I wasn’t expecting much from the whole thing but since we were watching all the Superman movies with my step-son, we had to watch this one at some point. To be honest, eventually, it was not as bad as I expected and, as a matter of fact, I even think that it was much better than the 3rd one which is definitely the worst superman movie ever made. Of course, the whole thing was still pretty weak (the plot about nuclear disarmament was especially pretty pathetic), it was lame but there were some (few) nice elements here and there. I mean, for example, many thought that Nuclear Man was really awful but I didn’t get what was not bad about this character and I thought he was actually a decent villain. Anyway, this movie was such a flop that it would take almost 20 years to come up with a new installment, ‘Superman Returns’, which would be also a flop. To conclude, it is obviously not a masterpiece whatever, it is not even a good movie at all, but I don’t believe it is as bad as everybody is saying. Still, does it meant that it is really worth a look? I don’t think so, except maybe if you are a die-hard fan of the Man of Steel.
