Slam-bang entertainment.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 13, 2023

Both the writing and the opticals are fiendishly clever and chock-full of dry, sly wit that is never gratuitously employed.

Superman II is a winner on all counts and is even better than Superman I. It shines as a perfect example of how to put a comic strip character on the screen.

| Jul 26, 2022

Alas for good intentions, the new mixture turns out to be much as before, which I didn't rate very highly.

| Jun 17, 2022

Dick Lester's Superman II makes a groaningly slow start but finally ends up a better movie than Superman I. Of course, it has to be because more of the same would look a bit second-hand another time round.

| Jun 17, 2022

Superman II appears to have been made from discarded scraps retrieved from the wastepaper-basket at the Daily Planet.

| Jun 16, 2022

Superman's adventures, certainly, could be no sillier -- suspending our disbelief, of course, by the expertise of the technology, the prettiness of the art work, [and] the effacing charm of Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder.

What new director Lester did right was bring back all the main characters and revisit the Zod story. He also captured the comic book feel in his storytelling...

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jan 31, 2022

It's a matching continuation, even if it's an uninspired one, whose stale direction wasn't dismissed in later years, prompting fired director Donner to release his own cut.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jan 2, 2022

A very good film that denies the famous saying that second parts are never good. [Full Review in Spanish]

Superman II is easily the best spectacle movie of the season.

| Dec 31, 2019

Like in each of these films, the best part are the special effects. [Full Review in Spanish]

Kneel before Zod, y'all. This is the best Superman movie of all time.

| Jun 18, 2019

Mostly this film is great because of the journey of Superman and Reeves strong performance.

| Original Score: A | Apr 13, 2019

The problem is that the film is too unwieldy to maintain any consistency of humor or tone. Whenever the relationships start to develop, the film has tobreak away for a stunt, leaving you feeling depressed and depleted.

| Apr 27, 2018

What seems to have been lost is the straightforward heroic exuberance of the original film, despite Reeve's gallant and endearing efforts.

| Oct 4, 2017

It's an entertaining and fun follow-up that definitely made good on the promise of evil doers who'd challenge the man of steel for all he's worth.

| Jun 9, 2013

On some levels soars above its predecessor with a more personal story; credible, menacing villains and an impeccable cast.

| Original Score: 9.5/10 | Jun 8, 2013

Let's face it, times change, and Superman and friend have sweetly embraced the spirit of the '80s as well as each other.

| Apr 12, 2013

Witty, action-packed superadventure with big themes.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jan 1, 2011
