Three years ago audiences
across the world thrilled to
the cinematic exploits of
Americas greatest legendary
figure. Superman I
made us 4'believe that a man
can fly."
The summer marks the
return 01 me Man 01 steel to
the screen, but he is suffering
from a dose of
cinematic Kryptonite. In
other words, Superman II is
largely a disappointment.
The most visible problem
of the movie is the special
effects. Funny blue glows
around the flying people and
occasional glimpses of
support wires help to punch
large holes in the illusion of
flying.

the villianous Lex Luthor,
but his figure is greatly
reduced. Instead of giving
his arrogantly pontificating
speeches, he is merely a
straight man for the real
villains of the movie, the
three Kryp!onian prisoners.
The three villains, wellplayed
by Terence Stamp,
Sarah Douglas and Jack
O'Halloran, are truly
despicable and fearsome
bad guys. But there roles are
greatly diminished by the
poor writing quality which
pervades the movie.
No real history of the
vuiains is ever given. We
never really know who they
are what their real
motivations are, beyond the
obvious motive of "we're
going to take over the
planet." They are never

Despite all the bad news
sos far, the movie does have
its saving graces. The I
relationship between Clark
Kent/Superman and Lois
Lane is well-handled and
developed. Christopher

Margot Kidder is fine as a
conniving and sly Lois Lane.
The scenes of her gradually
piecing together the truth
about Clark and Superman
are the best in the movie.
The movie is at its finest

If for no other reason,
