Superman II

Superman II (1980) is an action sci-fi adventure you can watch online on iFILM, with Christopher Reeve back as the Man of Steel and Richard Lester in the director's chair. Three exiles from the dead planet Krypton crash-land on Earth.

Their leader is General Zod, played with icy arrogance by Terence Stamp. The trio shares every power Superman has, and they want one thing: a world on its knees. The timing could not be worse. Clark Kent has just chosen to give up his abilities to be with Lois Lane (Margot Kidder). To stop Zod and his crew, he has to win that power back. Out of prison, Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman) sniffs out the chaos and offers the villains a deal.

Shot largely alongside the first film before a mid-production change of director, the sequel carries its own brisk rhythm and sly humor. For plenty of fans it stands at the top of early superhero cinema. Stream Superman II (1980) online on iFILM.
