Atom Man vs. Superman (1950) – Thin plotting abounds as
various characters do a lot of dumb stuff (Superman could have resolved this
whole saga in Chapter 4), but the practical effects tend to be somewhat better
(although it’s still flagrantly cheap-looking) in this sequel, which gets a big
boost from Talbot as Luthor, and it picks up pretty well as it goes along; in contrast
to the utter silliness of its last two chapters (come on, Lois fainting?), it has a surprising number
of good lines and moments; also of note is the obvious influence it’s had on
the Phantom Zone and Superman III. 6
