Review: "I saw Superman III and I thought it was 'SUPER-hilarious!" Give me a break, people. Instead of buying this, open the window and toss your money out...it can fly, like Superman! Much more entertaining than this dreck. Buy 1 and 2.

Summary: Where is John Williams when you need him?
Review: This is a very good movie indeed. But it suffered the loss of John Williams music. If he was here this movie would have gone beyond the stars as the previous two. but a good movie indeed.

Summary: Sheer Family Entertainment What more could you want?
Review: Superman 3 is a mixture of comedy,action and suspense.Remember Superman 1 and 2 were more serious movies than Superman 3, so therefore it is fun to see Superman 3 take on a different approach.Richord Pryor and Chris Reeve excell in this film. There is nothing wrong with comedy in a Superman movie as long as the action is there. This movie did just that. WELL DONE SUPERMAN !

Summary: I liked it!
Review: I've seen this movie a hundred times and I still love it. Richard Pryor is not one of my favorite comedians but I thought he did good in this 3rd installment of SUPERMAN. I thought the special effects were good and the story was very interesting. I found Annette O'toole to be the perfect Lana (comparing to the young Lana from the first movie) and thought this added alot to the movie, including the action between the 2 Supermans. I can't understand why this movie received bad rap from others. SUPERMAN I, II, and III are my favorite. I could have done without the fourth movie.

Summary: The weekest S.MAN movie!
Review: This is by far the worst of the SUPERMAN movies. Oddly it's lack of quality is due chiefly to the addition of the fantastic Richard Pryor who before and since has shown considerable brilliance as a performer many times over. The problem is he has no place in any Superman movie. The character and his involvement in the plot is not only lackluster, it makes one yearn for Gene Hackman's Lex Luthor all the more. Added to the cast for star power, Pryor actually chips away at any chance the movie has for success everytime he is on the screen.The majority of the rest of the cast are adequate to poor, although their characters are sometimes underdeveloped. Annette O'Toole is passable as Lana Lang (although one wishes to see more of Margot Kidder as Lois Lane), Robert Vaughn is fittingly mean and greedy as Ross Webster and Jackie Cooper is again good as Perry White. The rest of the characters are either poorly written or poorly portrayed or both.The only thing the film has going for it (outside of the brilliantly staged opening) is once again Chris Reeve. He is the only reason for the above rating. Not only does the script add much new dimension to both Clark Kent and the "Super" dude, Reeve's performance is more than up to the writing. And when Superman fights his evil twin due to a batch of faulty fabricated Kryptonite, Reeve captures both the good and the bad so well it's sometimes hard to believe both parts are played by the same actor.As SUPERMAN movies go this is the bottom of the barrel but if you are a D.C. comics fan, you will at least appreciate Mr. Christopher Reeve's fine performance. The film is clumsily directed by Richard Lester.

Summary: Well made installment
Review: Okay, you hear the people give it a bad rap, that is their opinion. But to most people, this movie is great fun. Some say Pryor's slapstick humor was ill-suited, but didn't(gene)hackman do the same?The story has a nice moving plot,the evil superman part was really well done. The sfx were great, way better than Sprmn 2 witch had crud effects at times. The humor at the begining is funny, but I prefer the t.v vewrsion because it has a new begining sequence ( but they didn't cut out any scenes to do that) Say what you want , but this film is worth seeing
Rating:
Summary: Overly campy
Review: Too much camp weighs down this third movie. Christopher Reeves' performance, in combination with some good special effects, helps somewhat. But there are too many moments of slapstick and silliness, not enough moments of awe. Richard Lester's directorial style seemed ill suited for the Superman movie this time out. It was also the first movie which did not feature Mario Puzo's input on the story or script, and his absence is noticable. But for 2 hours of halfway decent entertainment it isn't too bad. Just not anywhere near as good as the first two, but still superior to the next one.

Summary: No matter what you say about it, you will watch it again.
Review: Richard Pryor was just a thief who was black mailed into trying to kill Superman. He was funny and he made up for the comedy of the absent Gene Hackman. Great action series have always had their comedic moments,(check Star Trek, Star Wars)it keeps from re-hashing the same ol stuff. I personally think the next Superman movie should be a horror/supense movie. NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS ABOUT THIS MOVIE, THEY KNOW THAT THEY WILL WATCH IT WHEN IT COMES ON TV.

Summary: What's wrong with you people?!
Review: I am truly startled to see how many fans of the "Superman" anthology undervalue this abundantly fun-filled installment! I remember my family going to see "Superman III" on Father's Day 1983, and I'm still absolutely fond of this sequel's action, special effects, and of course, humor (thanks to Richard Pryor coupled with Richard Lester's direction)! The perils that Superman/Clark Kent contends with this time around are a bit far-fetched (particualrly the synthetic "Jeckyll & Hyde" inducing kryptonite), but they manage to add some color to the canvas. Also, it's nice to see Superman pitted against adversaries other than Lex Luther, this time it's on a more electronic level. I still don't consider Gus Gorman (Pryor) and Ross Webster (Robert Vaughn) as downright malicious malcontents, but that's what makes "Superman III" all the more campy and enjoyable. As far as the action sequences go, everything is a gem from the chemical plant inferno to the oil tanker fiasco to the missle desert battle against Gorman's multi-story supercomputer to Superman/Clark Kent's junkyard brawl scene (kudos to Reeve for playing the simultaneous roles in that scene with great credibility)! This is the only "Superman" sequel I own or ever will own because it's fresh and adventurous with a touch of down-right hilarity! Superman IV...now that's a sequel everyone should be ashamed to enjoy!!!
