Swing-for-the-fences odd duck is a bizarre entry in the Reeve SUPERMAN series - but there is much to enjoy if you can accept it as comic book camp intermixed with very British slapstick (the opening set piece, replete with an expert pie-in-the-face gag from Reeve, is masterful); Vaughn's straight-man villain meshes well with Pryor's buffoonery, and O'Toole makes for a very pleasing romantic interest for Reeve (highlighted by their amusing double speak interplay).

Making a movie around Pryor, a comic star at the time, makes sense. Unfortunately, although the script is not the plothole-ridden mess that part 4 is, it can't include Pryor in any way that works. His adult humor can't exist here & so we get jokes only small children would enjoy. He's also not really a villain so none of the plots involve lives at stake. Even "Evil" Supes isn't really. The only thing that works are the romantic scenes w/ O'Toole. She highlights how superficial Lois really is.

There are some very interesting ideas in this one, and I actually think they should remake this storyline now that DC's gone dark. The execution is so hokey, though, with so much cheap and easy humor. Superman and Richard Pryor's characters only connect ever so slightly and I miss Richard Donner a little bit.

(Viewed on 9/12/10): Lester only directed III for a cheque and boy does it show. Where to start? Pryor doesn't belong in the Superman universe, the villain is weak, and Kidder's absence for 80% of the movie is indeed telling. i.e she crossed the Salkinds. The attempts at comedy fall completely flat, and the whole anti-technology theme is laughable, even for a old comic book film. The dual between good and evil Superman in a junkyard is good, but it's like an oasis surrounded by parched land.

Superman III's obvious flaws not withstanding. It can be amusing to watch as a popular film series tries to shoehorn in a famous comedian. Richard Pryor is vastly entertaining to watch here despite his inclusion making little to no sense in a Superman movie. The majesty and perfection that was the first film has been diluted down to a series of slapstick comedy moments strung together by a loose computer based story which for some reason did NOT feature Brainiac... oops.

The first hour was quite good actually: hilarious slapstick title sequence, Pryor being a lot of fun even when overacting and various interesting plot threads coming together nicely despite the typically cartoonish villains and cringy computer talk. The second half is definitely inferior: bad Superman was quite a dysfunctional plot device even if Reeve pulled it off fine and the action was increasingly clunky. Overall not as bad as it's probably made out to be but not solid enough either.

So much bad comedy. So much bad, lazily hateful comedy. There are the seeds of a good movie in here - about Clark Kent reconnecting to humanity in the place that raised him, about an alien inspired by humans overcoming a human whose greed has driven away his humanity. But there's so much contempt for humanity in the movie and its casual disdain for its characters and its audience. (Robert Vaughn is great, tho. Easily the funniest thing in here.)

Yikes. And I thought Richard Lester's campiness was distracting in the *second* movie. Here it's just painful. Nothing about this works apart from Christopher Reeve, and even he can only do so much with the nonsensical script and unfunny, slapstick-y direction. Ross Webster is a poor substitute for Lex Luthor, Richard Pryor's character is unbelievably irritating, and Margot Kidder gets two short scenes. Super skippable.
