Critic Reviews

With his perfect pacing, elegant narrative design, and depth of characterization, Richard Lester has made as good a matinee movie as could be imagined.

-Dave KehrFull Review

A solid, classy, cannily constructed piece of entertainment which gets down to action almost immediately.

-Full Review

Superman II begins in midstream, and never looks back...

-Roger EbertFull Review

Superman II is a marvelous toy.

-Janet MaslinFull Review

Both Kidder and Reeve shine.

-James BerardinelliFull Review

A witty, action-packed superadventure.

-Ed GrantFull Review

A fine follow-up, it's easy to understand why some consider Superman II to be the pick of the series.

-Full Review

Manages to gain classic comic book feature status through a combination of great stunts and a great human angle.

-Chris Hewitt (UK)Full Review

This is first class entertainment with a little bit of everything thrown in for good measure.

-Felix Gonzalez Jr.Full Review

The spectacular battle scenes, the tenderly poignant love story, and the still-amusing work by Hackman make its broad transgressions quite forgivable.

-Michael DequinaFull Review

A definitive look at the strange, impossible love triangle of Clark Kent, Lois Lane and Superman… not perfect, but in the annals of comic-book movies it remains an indispensable touchstone.

-Steven D. GreydanusFull Review

Acaba sendo salvo pelo mesmo elemento que contribuiu para o sucesso do original: a dinamica e a quimica entre Christopher Reeve e Margot Kidder.

-Pablo Villaca

...as uneven and overlong as the first one.

-David NusairFull Review

By its very nature, the resulting film is severely compromised, but still rip-roaring, unpretentious entertainment.

-Peter Canavese

The combination of Richard Donner's superb original casting and visual attack with Lester's wit and his ear for sound proves a pretty formidable alliance.

-Geoff AndrewFull Review

Tighter, funnier, and generally better than its predecessor

-Daniel Eagan

I thought it was great when I was nine, but now... oh my GOD!

-Kevin Carr

Superman II made me cheer when I was seven years old, it makes me cheer now that I'm thirty, and it'll make me cheer when I'm ninety.

-David CorneliusFull Review

Aside from some unfortunate slapstick, it's a truly spectacular superhero sequel.

-Luke Y. Thompson

Edgy and exciting.

-Rich Cline

Superman II is a lively spree brimming over with action and adventure.

-Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatFull Review

Superman's sequel is probably as good as the original.

-Christopher NullFull Review

The best Superman. Great villains and great Clark insecurity subplot.

-Fred Topel

Three Kryptonian villains and Superman kicking the snot out of each other and tearing up the town? Who can't love this?

-Widgett Walls

Worthy follow up

-Brian J. Arthurs

A less inspired but mostly entertaining sequel. Superman's battle with the three Kryptonian villains is hammy but fun. Relationship with Lois Lane is promptly abandoned.

-Brian Mckay

Better than the first, but still overrated.

-Jeffrey Westhoff

Almost as fantastic as the original.

-Stefan Birgir Stefansson

The controversy surrounding it continues to be much ado about nothing. It's a terrific follow-up to the incomparable original... no matter whose name is on the credits.

-Rob Vaux

Substantial credit should also go to Terence Stamp's casually menacing General Zod, who transcends his terrible costume and make-up to appear a convincing threat.
