Superman II (1980) – Credible villains and better pacing
help make this film (which is impressively coherent given the directorial donnybrook
that surrounded it) superior to its predecessor, and man, Reeve is so good, but
parts of the story, including the whole give-up-your-powers bit and the diner
scenes, just feel off, and there are just
so many little plot shenanigans—forget the telekinesis, the amnesia kissing,
the teleportation, and how Zod et al. can speak English—pretty much anybody can
walk to/from the Arctic Circle in a light jacket! 6*
*The Richard Donner cut is significantly different, superior
in a number of ways (not all), and equally worthwhile. I give that one a 6,
too.
