I'm a straight dude, but even I noticed that Reeve looks five times better in this one than even the first one. I don't know how, but
When Mariel (who looks better NOW than Margot looked in the first film) is flirting with him in this film and Margot constantly interrupts with the old lady smoker's voice, "he doesn't want you, honey" it makes for the best comedy in the film.

I was surprised Reeve was only 34 when he made Superman 4 while Margot was pushing 40.

I'm guessing it's because Margot Kidder smoked like Lois Lane in real life. Also, we have to take for account her personal issues leading up to her infamous mental breakdown around 1996.

Same here. I also think christopher reeve looked his best as superman in this moviemaybe not muscular wise but just based on his face.
