Christopher Reeve, Richard Pryor, Margot Kidder
Here was a case in which the progenitors of this successful comic-book adaptation figured they had to go in a new direction--and chose the wrong one. For starters, they recruited comedian Richard Pryo...( read more

September 3, 2009Come on guys, It was the 80's, films did this kind of thing then. It's a silly film and not as good as the first two but as far as I'm concerned its got Reeve, Pryor and Vaughn in it so it must be great and I love it!

December 27, 2008If you ever wanted to see what Richard Lester would have done to Superman II then look no further than the pure garbage that is Superman III. What's worse than the slapstick opening credit sequence that makes the Three Stooges roll over in the graves? The fact that this piece of ...( read more)

April 19, 2008Where to start on this one? Well, this one kinda marked the beginning of the downward spiral of Reeves Superman movies. Considering that it was made in 1983, I guess some of the effects are okay, but with a story this corny and unbelievable, it does become unbearable. The tiresom...( read more)

November 18, 2009This doesn't even deserve a review, but easily the worst superhero movie EVER. I think it's terrible mainly because I didn't see it coming at all. Superman and Superman II were both amazing and then they follow with this. I think it's even worse than Batman Forever following up B...( read more)

December 28, 2006This is why "Superman Returns" takes place 5 years after "superman 2". Bryan Singer did the right thing to forget about this movie and so should everyone else. I remember watching a marathon of all the superman films on Space Channel a few years ago and the 1st 2 were really good, but # 3 and 4 were garbage. I found that #3 tried too hard to make this film funny and it backfired terribly. Let's not forget the idea of the master villian of takeing a fraction of a penny out of the bank! That is just as bad as the villian in "Die another Day" by trying to steal the power of the sun.
In a nut shell, avoid this film and #4...just watch #1 and 2 and then skip to "Returns". Pretend that # 3 and 4 don't exist.
