This is my favourite of the four Superman outings for Christopher Reeve and there's plenty to enjoy about this one!
Lex takes his scheming up a notch as he and Eve discover a few home truths about Superman's past.
My favourite baddies, Zod, Ursa and Non are a force to be reckoned with and Terence Stamp in particular gives a perfectly arrogant performance as he expects the world to make him its leader and its fun seeing Lex trying to blag his way into their favour.
Superman revealing his true identity to Lois is sweet and they both share some lovely moments together before he realises that being a human has its limitations.
It's also lovely seeing Susannah York with a larger role as she tries to advise her son about human feelings.
There are some fun action scenes as the evil trio finally meet Earth's hero and Clark getting his revenge is nicely satisfying!
A lovely addition to the Superman franchise!
