Movie Review - Superman II

Superman II (1980)
directed by Richard Lester & Richard Donner
rating: 3 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from Blockbuster

I can attribute all three peppers for "Superman II" to Terence Stamp's fey General Zod. The whole of planet earth at its knees, and the Phantom Zone's most illustrious escapee can only keep repeating himself: "Kneel! Kneel! Kneel before Zod!" That's a respectable sort of egomania, eager and absurd. He's bored almost immediately, but not me.
