Trailer
Why watch this film?
After a tumultuous production of 'Superman', director Richard Donner left the sequel. The producers then hired Richard Lester ('Help!') to lead 'Superman II', which forced the new director to re-shoot several scenes already ready to get due credit. The changes are clear when we notice the greater use of humor, as well as the entire final sequence of the film being altered. Anyway, this does not erase the merits of the movie, which addresses the arrival of three Kryptonian criminals who want to take revenge on the Man of Steel. A great movie to watch (and have fun) with the family.

Plot summary
On the verge of giving up his powers for love, Superman is confronted by three super-criminals from his home planet who have escaped imprisonment and come to Earth with the same abilities as the man of steel. Imperious insurrectionist General Zod, seductive but sadistic Ursa, and mute brute Non challenge Superman to a cosmic battle for world supremacy--just as Superman and Lois Lane finally get romantically involved.

Superman III
We can say that the trump cards of 'Superman II' became the downfall of 'Superman III'. Unfortunately, director Richard Lester decided to go further into using humour, bringing in actor Richard Pryor ('The Express of Chicago') to be the antagonist. With a confusing script, the movie drags on for more than 2 hours. Perhaps the best part here is the fight of the Man of Steel against a kind of "evil twin", which doesn't make much sense, but made for some good memes in more recent times. Recommended only to the most hardcore fans of the character.
Action
The Witch: Part 2. The Other One
The Witch: Part 2. The Other One - A fast-paced action, mystery and thriller film that follows a young woman with impressive telekinetic powers, desperately fighting for her life while unraveling the mysteries of her past, pursued by unscrupulous killers. With Blue Dragon Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress (Seo Eun-su) and Best New Actress (Cynthia), this film captures the protagonist's intense battle to find answers and justice, facing not only her persecutors, but also to his own inner demons.
Bloodsport
Jean-Claude Van Damme makes his starring debut in the descriptively titled Bloodsport. An American soldier at large in Hong Kong, Van Damme becomes involved in the Kumite, a highly illegal kickboxing competition. Whoever survives the bout will be crowned Kumite champion of the world…a title that has plenty of challengers with homicide in their hearts. The finale offers a duel to the death between Van Damme and reigning Kumite king Bolo Yeung. The script is based on the real-life exploits of martial arts champ Frank Dux, who serves as the film's fight coordinator.
War on Terror: KL Anarchy
Khalid, a rebellious cop from an elite special force must prove he is able to work as a team in order to thwart terrorist threats to bring down Kuala Lumpur.
The Order
In The Order, Van Damme plays a man accused of murder who seeks a sacred scripture in Jerusalem before it falls into the wrong hands, jeopardizing his freedom. With shades of Dan Brown and a script by Jean Claude Van Damme himself, alongside Les Weldon (screenwriter of another action star film, Replicant), the movie is what every fan of the Belgian actor wants: brawling, with a fun plot, and never boring.
