As you might expect, the sequel to the Man of Steel saga was worse than the original. The problem is that the film lacks the scale and epicness with which the first film was presented. The confrontations with General Zod and his team are all reduced to a fight in a small Texas town, with Kal-El and the three Kryptonians clashing on a street in Metropolis, just across the street from the Daily Planet. And at the end of the battle, Superman flies to the same place, the Fortress of Solitude, to heal, to regain his strength, to trap the enemy. All of this, of course, is the weakness of the tape.
The plot is also a weak point. Too many logical holes (for example, in a few days Lex Luthor managed to fly to the Arctic in a balloon!) And inconsistencies with both the original film and the comics. It’s unclear where Superman and his fellow enemies got their new powers, which were not mentioned in either the comic book or movie #1. Freezing rays, memory-wiping kisses, and more.
Well, the strengths, of course, are the wonderful (as in the first film) acting and technical component. Christopher Reeve, just as in the first part, perfectly plays his role. His brave look and charming smile, sometimes more important than the plot. Looking into the eyes of Superman, you gain hope, and this is so important for the hero, especially with the prefix – super!
Their romance with Louis is also wonderfully played, with both actors (Reeve and Margo Kidder) showing true love for each other! And Gene Hackman is, as always, superb. He’s no longer a super-terrorist, but rather a buffoon, the main thing for him is to become the head of… Australia! But even in this role he is splendid, and he takes on no small share of comic situations in the movie. Terence Stamp, as Zod, is perfect, you would have to seek out such a tyrant…
On the whole, the movie makes a pleasant impression. The magnificent music by John Williams (preserved since the first film) and the enthusiastic performance of the actors stifle many logical and plot inconsistencies. Although, it could have been much better!
