Christopher is so deep and philosophical about this movie. I wish it could have lived up to his expectations.

[@alucard624]

Chris felt the same way after the film was released. He was really disappointed it turned out the way it did. In his autobiography he's even quoted as saying, "The less said about Superman IV, the better." The fact that he was even doing the film is most likely the reason the majority of the cast from the first film came back, especially Gene Hackman, who had no desire to ever play Lex again thanks to how badly Donner was treated by the Salkinds during the whole Superman II fiasco. Same with Margot most likely.

[@jaymike3302]

Reeve wanted to write, direct, and get an anti-nuclear message out. The problem is...it made for a bad movie. Nuclear Man was corny and stupid.

[@radicalreactions1633]

@@jaymike3302 You should've seen the FIRST NuclearMan, this one was a VAST improvement. It's a comic SUPERMAN story, it's SUPPOSED TO BE CORNY. What made a bad movie is it being too muddled, the story made sense since it actually showed the struggles that the character goes through. we didn't get to see much of his personality until Superman IV and it's always better than III.

[@EliasAlucard]

Yeah that'd be cool. With today's special effects and with Christopher Reeve in it, it would have been a great film. But the plot with Nuclear Man was kind of dumb to begin with anyhow, I mean, sending Superman's hair into the sun and you get a fully developed supervillain, lol. Unfortunately the Superman films in general, even the Reeve ones, as much as I love them, are kind of B-flicks. Superman films need better story writers, better villains and shit like that. In most of the Reeve Superman films, he's just flying, posing and lifting heavy stuff. Marvel in general has done much better with the villains. Just compare Steppenwolf with Thanos as a case in point.

+DethOfDrgnz I was a kid too, I liked it for what it was, but the problem was the movie was not finished and during production the special effects budget was cut. But the performances by Chris Reeve and Gene Hackman make it worth the watch.

[@kalel248]

they ran out of money and lied to chris about the budget they comitted so thats why it wasnt a success. heck it was a break that chris and co managed to finish the film

[@randallreiter9679]

clonedkeifer I agree, the effects were not good like the first 3 films.But gene Hackman and Christopher Reeves performance always make it worth watching to me. If Chris is Superman I enjoy the movie.

[@Syklonus]

It's trendy to hate on this film, and while it's far from good, it's reputation as a "bad" film is totally overblown. There are many enjoyable scenes in the film and the cast is great. It's issues are in the structure and the poor visual FX, but honestly, the rest is perfectly entertaining, and the social commentary on media monopoly is an interesting sub-plot which is overlooked for the main anti-nuke one. Even if it was awful, it's ok to like a bad film, but Reeve, Hackman, Kidder and the rest of the cast prevent it from being that.

[@Foebane72]

Whatever you may think of his films or TV appearances, Christopher Reeve was a LEGEND.

[@verinahorner7346]

God love him, he was so sincere and honest playing superman. I wanted to believe that he was real. The speech when he goes into the United nations buildings always make me cry. It's superlative. Superman belongs to us all. He was superman. He played the part for real and he made me believe. Thank you Chris.

[@igvmyslf1000ptss]

[@wudaddy]

At the very end, when Reeve expresses the possible success in how IV is executed, I felt bad, because Reeve really believed in this project. He said it was the most fun he'd had out of the 4 movies. It's unfortunate how it turned out.

[@BaySean]

+sonne sun the late Christopher Reeve (1952-2004) was the first actor who played Superman. 😢 he could have turned 60+ now.

[@4seeableTV]

He was a passable actor. Daniel Day Lewis is a very good actor.

[@thawedcavebear]

They're both good actors of different types. Chris Reeve was shockingly good in this role and a few others--he was so good in this part that they fired Brando instantly from the sequel, paying him a lot of his money anyway, just because they realized all anyone wanted to see in II was Christopher Reeve. And Brando was the best actor in the world back then. That's how good Reeve was. Also an amazing writer and human being in other respects (you don't have your 'head re-attached' and then regain 70% of afferent nervous sensation and control over your hands over the next ten years; Daniel Day Lewis couldn't have done that, not from a lack of talent but because...uh...almost no one can. Severe C2 break and severing... Oh, and Lewis did fine work as Lincoln, or Hawkeye, but, um, he has a tendency to overact now and then ('Gangs of New York'). He's no god or Lawrence Olivier, christ.

[@drakocarrion]

Bay Sean Christopher Reeve most certainly was *not* the first actor to play Superman.

[@leandrob1983]

"He´s a world citizen rather than a piece of American propaganda..." Christopher, you were right. As far as I´m concerned, Superman belongs to the world. I´m from Argentina and I always thought that Supes saves the world and not only USA. In fact, he quits American citizenship in Action Comics #900. You really were a visioner, Chris.

[@thawedcavebear]

(That was a tiny story, out of canon, by the atrocious David S. Goyer. It's not official. BUT, I agree wholeheartedly with your point. I grew up with him saving not just all over the world, but soaring to distant stars and galaxies when there was trouble. Superboy and Superman care for everyone. He started as a champion of "those in need" wherever they might be, but Jerry siegel's (the inventor/writer) sleazy editors made him wrap himself in the US flag and be tamer once the war in Europe started. Chris and you have the original essence of it--after all, Superman was printed all over the world for decades...and I think Chris Reeve cared about everyone too. To Christopher Reeve, the visionary. Who showed us all a man could fly, sir.

[@Syklonus]

He's literally an illegal Alien living in America. Think about the irony of that in the current U.S. climate. No one is denying his origins from being made by two (ironically jewish considering the Christ parallels) Americans, but culturally he really does belong to the world. The whole "Truth, justice, and The American way" thing is phenomenally corny in this day and age, and also very arrogant as it suggests some superiority that the US thinks it has over the rest of the planet. "Truth, justice, and the humane way" would be more apt in the modern world.

[@jaymike3302]

[@RainbowKittyAvion]

I love his vision for Superman IV, it would of worked well if the budget wasnt cut and so much of the movie was cut out, 40mins alteast.

[@4seeableTV]

Wrong. They ALL came back for the MONEY.

[@thawedcavebear]

Not true about the money. Gene Hackman was very open about doing the first film for a huge paycheck. There was nothing like that for this one--he came back because he wanted to be a part of it. They hadn't the money to pay ANY of the actors as much as you'd expect, and a glance at the script would have told them it was dangerous for their career. That's nonsense about money. Reeve and Hackman could have gotten similar check tieing their shoes at this point.

[@Syklonus]

Hate to burst your bubble dude, but Reeve only came back becasue Canon said they'd fund his next project "Street Smart". He didn't give a shit about Superman IV, but he was professional enough to still give a good performance.

[@ryanrandall788]

Syklone usually I’m all for different opinions, but in this case, you’re simply wrong. Chris cared about every single role he ever did, wether it was a alien in a cape, or a simple guy trying to make ends meet in the ghetto, he cared.

When he says that superman 4 could be the best of all the movies, you can tell that it's his genuine feeling, he weren't saying it just to promote the film he believed in it 100% as he saw the superman film that it should've been, unfortunately the studio completely let him and the film down and Reeve was very disappointed with the outcome, which is unfortunate cause he had such fun during the making of 4

[@SGTBizarro]

Cannon were parasites... I think 4 would've turned out much better if the budget hadn't been cannibalized, forcing the release of an unfinished film. The first film had roughly 3-4 times the budget that this had.

[@theCreature22]

Superman IV was the first Superman movie I saw as a kid. When you're that young, you don't notice many of the flaws or faults. It's too bad that Christopher Reeve's vision for the movie got stomped flat; you can tell that his heart was in the right place and that he had the best intentions for the film. And, honestly, I think it could have been spectacular had it been given a bigger budget and more time to be polished up. Maybe even the "definitive" Superman movie. But the final product comes off as unfinished and rushed.

[@jayquanvo5134]

If only Chris Reeves had the support from the studio & the money. It could have been a classic like the first 2 films. Chris was not only the Superman due to his performance but how passionately & seriously he took the role. Describing Superman as a world citizen, not just American propaganda is exactly what Superman is & should be. As stunning as the sfx are for the new movies by Zack Snyder & how they adapt the comic source material in terms of visuals & plots, I don’t think he gets it as much as Chris did in terms of the characterisation. Chris was so intertwined with that role. In that video you could see his leadership & passion with the staff & the film. Studio stopped Superman IV from flying higher than he could have.

[@PaintDryPictures]

Although IV wasn't a perfect movie, it's still a fun film to watch and I prefer it over Superman Returns.

[@pagb22]

Why did Christopher Reeve looked so SUPER in the REAL suit and now, every producer, director, and actor call it "the underwear suit"? Those are musclemen shorts from the times Superman was created 75 years ago. Dick Donner was the first to honor the creators, Shuster and Seigel, by crediting them and helping them gain back their rights on the Man Of Tomorrow. He also respected their view on the hero by suiting up the star as they saw him. Richard Donner and Christopher Reeve; the real ones! (Quit your job Zack Snyder)

[@jedijones]

+pagb22 DC Comics themselves got rid of the trunks. Don't blame Zack.

[@pagb22]

True! I jusyt like blaming Snyder for everything. ;-)

[@thawedcavebear]

Brava! Brava! Well said...2 years ago. Perfectly said--Donner and Manck and Reeve do great jobs of honoring the Superman of 1940 AND of 1967, and did right by the creators. Very well said. And blame Snyder for the shorts all you want. No one told him he could't add that permanent and iconic aspect of his outfit back in--the man just isn't very familiar with the character (few but Paul Levitz, Alan Moore, and Grant Morrison seem to understand who he is and why, as far as I can tell), just like DC often isn't. THEY thought Superman had become a worthless property by 1989, as it happens. So...some exec thought it was a good idea to lose the shorts on paper, and that gets Snyder off the hook for that...among 50 worse things? Please. Fire Snyder. Bring back someone who's studied Reeve and can where polyurethane. Then send him running across the street, changing posture as he pulls his shirt open...(and the Williams theme breaks into full stride). And don't forget our man is exceptionally smart. ...Anyway, that's how you make a Superman film. It's been 39 years, maybe someone should give that version another shot, hm??

But yeah, they tried lol

[@MiserableMovieMan]

Frankie Gino the reason for all of the things you mention is that right at the start of shooting Canon cut the SFX budget in half and gave all the money to He-Man so the producers were faced with no choice but to cut corners and leave cheap looking shots in.

At least with 4 they actually tried to stay true to Superman, unlike the comedy film with Richard Pryor that just happened to have Superman in it that was 3. The only good things about 3 were the Smallville bits with Lana and the junkyard fight between Evil Superman and Clark.

[@josh042988]

If you take out the nuclear man element then I think it could have really been a good movie most more focus on the nuclear arms race and the decision Superman had to make whether or not to interfere or let the human race inevitably destroy themselves. In my opinion it's only the nuclear man plot of the movie that brings it down, I think everything else is awesome, if the story focused more on Superman having to deal with a real-world issue and the inner conflict from the Kryptonian council telling him not to get involved and his heart telling him that right thing to do is intervene, and more so the government's reaction to him getting involved and the people's reaction to him not getting involved at first, and that Superman isn't just an American hero but a hero of the entire world and all races, and if it should and you want to find world and the end of it that would have been the cherry on top.

But I can see here that he really did have a genuine passion to do this. 2nd, he was right when he said 4 would be the best in the series. When I think of all the feats they tried to accomplish in the film, had the budget been right, S4 would've been IMO, the best and most entertaining film in the entire reeve series.

Its a pity it didn't turn out the way he had hoped. Reeves was so likeable and sincere, but sadly the movie was a career killer.

[@Totalitário]

watching a little behind the scenes I realized that there was a bit of an alter ego between Christopher Reeve and Mark Pilow, I saw a statement from him saying that it's not easy to work with Reeve, something like that!

[@joshuasteele4498]

Would love to have seen him be apart of the modern era of super hero movies. His imprint on Smallville was great

[@eonstar5797]

Chris Reeve and his message to the world to have peace, is the movies important part. The story could be more realistic, but the quest for peace will live on.

[@leejee88]

only thing i liked about superman 4 is that it had superman fighting and opponent who had powers like him

[@CapitanJusticia]

Superman 2 had that too.

I got to meet Christopher Reeve in 1981, learn about the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984, he should be a hero as Superman, and also, he won't be riding horses within the year, he's allergic, then I will write a warning letter, that he will help the Team USA and play Men's Soccer ball games in 1994, and compete in the Summer Olympics in 1996 in Atlanta.

Reeve: Felt pretty good Reeve's inner thoughts: I'm fucked, this is awful

6:33 he didn't know how wrong he was

[@paulkeefe2304]

All this talented man wanted was to be a serious and respected actor and unfortunately the fickle public dismiss him in any post SM effort. He really was underrated and the Fates threw him a shitty hand as a reward to all the joy he brought people.

[@billhosko7723]

BS... his arrogance did him in... find the video of him condescendingly putting down Brando.

[@burtonryan50]

the only thing that I could ever ask Christopher Reeve about Superman for would be once a question. What the hell were you thinking?

[@captainkavern]

Reeve directed the thing!

[@thawedcavebear]

Parts, yes. Had to get it all shot before cash ran out!

Superman 4 is put down a lot, but honestly growing up that was my 2nd favorite superman. Superman 2 was my favorite...4 was my 2nd.....as a kid i found superman 1 boring, and i knew 3 wasn't good, but i liked a few good moments of 3. Bad superman vs good superman was a great scene. And I was scared of that old lady turning into a robot as a kid. edit: But superman 4....i was so sad to see Superman get scratched on the next and get weak. He was my hero and to see him get hurt really bothered me...that scene and bar scene in superman 2 where clark gets beat up would make me sad as a kid. So happy to see superman come back at the end of superman 2 and put that guy in his place. haha

[@martykeaton182]

Chris said in his book, Still Me, "The less said about Superman 4 the better."

[@mjpop1]

he must be very disappointed. :(

[@mattdavis7224]

This’ll sound corner because yes as an adult I can see the many issues this film had but as a child it was my first superhero movie I watched and boy did I watch it, over and over. I loved superman so much and as a child the effects etc were not bad they were amazing. It was superman 4 that encouraged me to watch 1,2 and 3. And to this day Chris Reeves, Richard Donner and the superman characters are still so special to me. So for me even though the movie wasn’t what it should be I’m grateful for it for giving me 25+ years of believing in what superman stood for.

[@dayquantalbert6812]

Superman 3 was the best too me It was more enjoyable

[@DelFamDII]

Of all the 4 movies, this one ranked last in my opinion. You obviously see the difference in quality from the 3 previous films (especially Superman I and II. They were better in screen quality). Now looking at the comments, this film did not receive a full budget and it shows. But in spite of this, I liked seeing Chris play the role one more time. He is still my favorite Superman actor.

[@jackahorey2354]

Christopher Reeve was such an immense man. More of a Superman than his character!
