Between giving up his super powers, confronting criminals from outer space, and having problems with his girlfriend, it's a bad time to be the Man of Steel in this sequel to the 1978 blockbuster. When terrorists threaten to destroy Paris with a thermonuclear device as they hold reporter Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) hostage, Superman (Christopher Reeve) comes to the rescue and flings the weapon into space. However, its blast outside the earth's orbit awakens Zod (Terence Stamp), Ursa (Sarah Douglas), and Non (Jack O'Halloran), three villains from Superman's home planet of Krypton who were exiled to outer space for their crimes. Zod and his partners arrive on Earth and use their powers in a bid to take over the U.S., and then the world. However, when Lois realizes that mild mannered Clark Kent and Superman are actually the same person, he brings her to his Fortress of Solitude, where his decision to marry Lois costs him his remarkable strength. Without his super powers, how can Superman vanquish Zod and save the world? Gene Hackman, Ned Beatty, Susannah York, and Jackie Cooper return from the first film, which was shot at the same time as parts of the sequel. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

It is worth noting that the alternate ending to this movie, where Superman leaves Earth to return to what's left of Krypton, is what Superman Returns (2006) is a direct sequel to, and both Superman I & II serve as backstory for the new film.

Rarely do I favor sequels, but I tell you this was better than the original. Great job by Christopher Reeve, Gene Hackman, Margot Kidder, Terence Stamp, and the other cast members. If you love superhero movies, this is the one to watch.

This movie is good but not as good as the first one. The second one started to loose the feel a little but still had it.

Just watching Superman get drunk is worth at least a rental, only bad moments was the quirky acting by Clark Kent (Reeves).

The first Superman movie was great and I remember watching it as a kid. But, what happened in this 2nd one? I didn't know that 2 people sleeping together before they are married was good for kids . . .or an icon getting drunk. I like the Superman movies but had a problem with this one not being kid friendly!!
