5.0 out of 5 stars This should have been the last Superman film, 22 April 2007
By D. Climo - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I remember when I used to watch this as a kid. It was my favourite Superman film and I always used to watch it everytime it was on. What I used to (and still do) like about this one was the the 20-30 minute sequence where Superman turns bad.

The plotline sees Superman going up against Robert Vaughn's 'Ross Webster', owner of a big bussiness company, and Richard Pryor's computer whizz Gus Gorman. Together they plan to steal the world's oil for their own selfish reasons. Meanwhile Clark Kent (Superman)goes back to Smallville and is reunited with his teenage sweetheart Lana Lang (Annette O Toole), who now has a young boy called Ricky. At one point Ross Webster decides that Superman is the only thing that can stop him from claiming the oil so he and his sister Vera, girlfriend Lorelei and Gus plan to 'assasinate' Superman by creating some kryptonite. However the kryptonite they creat has something wrong with it and upon receiving it at an awards ceremony in Smallville for saving a large part of America and also Ricky's life in a seperate incident, it gradually turns Superman evil instead of weakening him. Once he turns evil, the world around him watches him as he strikes fear and disgrace into those he once protected, the innocent. This all lead to a big fight between the good side and the bad side of Superman in two different entities in a juckyard, resulting in the good side eventually apprehending the evil side and going back to righting the wrongs he did around the world.

Now I watch the film on my DVD and I have to say that, after the first two films being special effects extravaganzas, that it's quite a nice change to have this film focus more on the plotline and characters. If you think Christopher Reeve makes an excellent superhero then you should see him as the evil Superman because he also makes an excellent supervillain. It's just a shame that he didn't get many other notable roles after he donned the cape. Robert Vaughn's character, althpugh he's a good villain, he is in fact just Lex Luthor from the comics with a different name. Richard Pryor, although he's funny, he should've toned it down a little because he is a little too wacky. Annette O Toole is excellent as Lana Lang and not bad looking either. Gavan o Halirilay is great as Clark's old school bully Brad.

The only bad thing about the film is that there are some characters that are just a little too OTT and annoying. Other than that it's great. Certainly much better than Superman 4, which sucked, and Superman Returns which isn't great. *****

5.0 out of 5 stars Superman 3, the best Superman movie., 29 Aug 2001
By A Customer
This in my eyes is no doubt the best of the four superman movies all of them bring back great childhood memories for me but superman 3 revives them all,there is not a dull moment in this film, Richard Pryers clowning around to good superman vs evil superman this is a must buy for all superman fans.
