Superman II Ratings & Reviews
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Pollack
Lester has a fine touch with comedy, and it comes through, in a very campy manner, in many situations. Some of it descends into silliness, but then, so do comic strips.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Desmond Ryan
[Superman II] is an entertainment that brims with technical skill, good humor, and acting that is above anything one might expect and, more importantly, with actors behaving as if they are in the same movie.
The New Yorker
Pauline Kael
[Richard Lester] brings it one light touch after another, and pretty soon the movie has a real spirit - what you wished the first had had.
Orlando Sentinel
Dean Johnson
Reeve and Kidder, however, are fine at the Cary Grant-Irene Dunne screwball-comedy turn; there's certainly no one else you could image playing their roles.
Newsday
Alex Keneas
"Superman II" is better [than Superman] - funnier without straining for campy laughs, less inclined to substitute slam-bang special effects for story, and of course, more romantic.
New York Daily News
Kathleen Carroll
Superman II...is a strictly high-level entertainment, a movie that should come to the rescure of everyone who longs for two house of pure fun and escape.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Will Jones
Hackman's comedic handling of [Lex Luthor], in fact, is the single most entertaining achievement in the whole film.
Los Angeles Times
Sheila Benson
Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder give their roles a careful delineation, and they have the support of a delightful script.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Elston Brooks
The entire picture, as expected, is a marvel of special effects, but there's much more to Superman II. It has acting (really), it has storyline and indeed...it has everything.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Perry Stewart
What began as an infatuation in Part 1 now is a full-blown love story, and it is one of the more appealing elements in this marvelous comic book of a movie.
Village Voice
Andrew Sarris
In Superman II, [Gene Hackman] supplies much needed comic relief with his sly asides in the presence of the overweeningly good and evil emissaries from the planet Krypton.
Newsweek
David Ansen
Whether bumping into doors as that bumbling preppie Clark Kent, or fielding tossed cars on the streets of Metropolis, Reeve's bashful gallantry is thoroughly winning.
New York Post
Archer Winsten
In the end children of all ages will be delighted that Superman is back on the job, defending "Truth, Justice and the American Way" against all comers. And he's in love with Louis Lane, too. Who could ask for anything more of any fairy tale?
Detroit Free Press
Jack Mathews
"Superman II" is a lively air show that will exhilarate more people than it will disappoint.
Chicago Tribune
Gene Siskel
[Christopher Reeve] plays both roles beautifully in this film, and he really is deserving of at least an Academy Award nomination for his work.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Cater
"Superman II" is a delight from start to finish and a definite improvement over its predecessor.
Associated Press
Bob Thomas
While by no means perfect, [Superman II] is far superior to the original.
Arizona Republic
Michael Maza
Like its equally glossy predecessor, Superman II moves well, with roughly equal doses of special effects and romance.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Denby
Superman II is easily the best spectacle movie of the season.
Boston Globe
Bruce McCabe
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 to break away for a stunt, leaving you feeling depressed and depleted.
