Superman III (1983)
10/10
Unfairly Criticised
3 March 2009
Pathetic 'purists' are giving this movie an unfair low score so I am giving it ten out of ten. I love this movie. To me,a 'purist' also, this is the best Superman film.

It is simply the most enjoyable and has the most heart. Christopher Reeve is superb in this. Richard Pryor is excellent also.

"Goodness me! No! We can't have a Superman movie without Lex Luthor!" Get over it and stop being so dull. Familiarity breeds contempt. This movie had the balls to do something different. And it worked out just great.

It's funny that a movie so scorned by 'uberfans' should contain one of the best sequences of all the movies: The Superman V's Clark Kent battle. The 'purists' must be feeling very sick that such a great scene was not included in Richard Donner's movie. Leave it to Richard Lester, the enemy of most Superman fans, to pull of such a great scene! Well done, Mr. Lester.

People complain that Gus Gorman is just too comedic yet Richard Donner's movie gave us 'Otis' (Ned Beatty), a character that makes Gus Gorman look serious.

There is never a dull moment in Superman III. The best of the bunch by a long shot.
