I saw this at the theater once. I should have known how bad it was going to be, especially after I heard Cannon was going to be a part of this. After the Salkind's fired Richard Donner, it was all downhill from there.

the disappointment I felt leaving the theater on opening day for man of steel had to have no doubt been the same exact feeling many felt after seeing superman 3 and 4 in the theater. I know now what many went through since introductory and repeat disappointment vhs/dvd viewings doesn't even compare to the level of disappointment as seeing a let down for the first time in the theater in it's original theatrical run.

I saw it with my dad at a theater in San Diego, I remember there was a music video for Madonn'a "Who's that Girl" played before the movie. I heard laughter from the audience in the theater but I had no idea as to what, I was 5 at the time

the other day I paid a visit to the cinema where I saw it back in 87. its gone now replaced with a high fashion clothes shop. I walked about trying to picture where I was I saw the posters in plastic at the entrance, where youd buy the tickets, popcorn etc and then where I may have sat to watch Superman IV..
felt abit like Clark going back to the farm -

The theater that I first saw this movie at was the Huntridge theater in Las Vegas Nv. It still stands there but it is no longer a theater. However there was a huge superman iv mural on the side of it and it took them over 2 years to take it down. I wish I had a picture of that mural.

I totally agree with you. I saw this movie opening date and then some more times. It was the first Superman movie that I saw on the big screen! I was obsessed. I even brought my Superman super powers figure and my superman cape with me to the theater. I bought the comic shortly after I saw the film and like you I was also confused. My favorite Superman film due to the sentimental value. The only thing I remember not liking about it back then was Superman's hair, he was missing the iconic spit curl. But hey at 4 years old many things were impressive to me.This move and Masters of the Universe will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for sharing your experience.

great stuff my friend. very similar to my experience. yes I had the SuperPowers figure too but didn't take it with me
. yes you right about the hair. in fact before I saw the film I remember seeing the promo image of Superman holding Lacy in space

(which was everywhere) and staring at it a while thinking something was abit off but not quite sure what (obviously not the fact he was flying a human into space! lol) and then I realised 'no curl!'

Saw this at the drive-in theater. It was my first time at the Drive-in. I knew something was wrong because Superman IV was not playing at any local theater (Eric Theater or AMC 4). I generally liked the movie, but felt something was a little off about it, the special effects, and how quickly it ended after Superman got his powers back. I had no idea things were cut from it until I was older.
