Is Superman IV The Best Superman Movie?

Everyone says Superman IV: The Quest for Peace is the worst Superman film. Maybe it's one of the best superman movies. In this video, I'm making the case that Superman IV deserves far more credit than it gets — from Christopher Reeve's passionate anti-nuclear message to his legendary final performance as the Man of Steel. With a new Superman era on the horizon thanks to James Gunn, now is the perfect time to revisit the Reeve era and ask: did we judge this film too harshly?
