Apr 26, 2023 · As a 4K UHD the set from Warner is ok, the native 4K image is clean, clear, well detailed, well coloured with good blacks and a decent enough filmic quality, while the Dolby Atmos track is engaging and enveloping if a little pedestrian. Sadly, there are no new extra features which remain all legacy.

I'm going to be generous and give Superman IV: The Quest for Peace a 8 rating. My reasons are a few and quite unarguable really.... Firstly I didn't like Superman II much because it felt depressing even with the three villains fighting Superman it just didn't feel nice.

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace had so much going for it. Christopher Reeve was not only returning in the role that launched his acting career, he had contributed to the story and had final choice on director. The Salkinds were no longer involved, which helped convince Margot Kidder and Gene Hackman to return to the franchise. The team of Lawrence...
3D Rating: NA
Warner’s 2160 HEVC-encoded transfer with HDR10 high dynamic range is fine, with very good detail, vivid colors, and excellent contrast allowing for deep blacks and strong shadow detail. The higher resolution, though, makes the very cheap visual effects stand out even more.

Both Superman and Christopher Reeve deserved a much better farewell than Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.
While he busies himself with collecting ballistic missiles for delivery to the sun, Luthor escapes from a chain gang with the help of his nephew, Lenny (Jon Cryer, doing his best Ned Beatty impersonation), and sets about his latest Wiley Coyote-inspired plan to destroy Superman.

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace is a good movie, but it was a failure in my opinion. It was great seeing the Superman cast back together again, including Gene Hackman who we haven't seen since Superman II. This time, Alexander and Ilya Salkind were not producing the movie.
