Putting its emphasis on broad comedy at the expense of ingenious plotting and technical wizardry, it has virtually none of the mythic or cosmic sensibility that marked its predecessors.
It's a cinematic comic book, shallow, silly, filled with stunts and action, without much human interest.
Anyone who has been following the Superman saga will find this installment enjoyable enough, but some of the magic is missing.
Outdated superhero movie may interest older kids.
Richard Lester's direction injects nothing new into the material, giving the feeling that he views the whole thing as an exercise in comedy set pieces.
Apparently, Richard Lester's intent was to turn Superman into a joke. A really bad joke.
'Superman contra os avanços da tecnologia'. Uma idéia cuja estupidez só é superada por sua péssima execução.
Reeve continues his traditions of graceful flying moves, confident carriage, and twinkly warmth. Sadly, none of it is enough to save Superman III from being at home only in a junkyard.
Now retooling the Superman series into middleweight comedy, the script feels written for no one above the age of twelve. As a production it looks cheaply made and thrown together. Worse, this is a mean-spirited piece of work.
Warner's DVD release has an undistinguished anamorphic transfer (2.35:1), unremarkable DD 2.0 mono audio, and the theatrical trailer.
One of the most underrated movies of all time. Seriously.
Pryor is wasted but the image of a bad Superman, and his battle with his good side, is memorable.
Super disappointment w/Pryor comedy emphasis a cosmic mistake
