Richard Pryor: The Movie featuring Superman

I'm suddenly very worried about Superman 4.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Somehow by combining 60s and 80s camp, Richard Lester made the best movie in the Superman series. I am not sure if this is technically the best Superman movie in the series, but taking into account all aspects of film making, this is definitely the best movie in the series. I hope that your getting my drift.

I don't really feel that capable of accurately summing up just how great the film making on display here is, simply because this was a first time watch for me. There is so much going on, and every scene is so visually sumptuous, that I know I missed a fair bit of stuff. All I know is that Richard Lester knows how to direct a film.

This movie is without a doubt one to be rewatched and rewatched and rewatched. It's funny, accessible, charming and very well paced. Its goofy tone fits perfectly within the story and characters, fully embracing its comic book roots. Christopher Reeve gives a nuanced performance, displaying a more complex character, one that mixes not only the everyday Clark Kent with the confident hero Superman, but also the more corrupt side of his nature. The slapstick opening credits scene is a tad too much and the villains are a bit uninteresting but other than that it was highly enjoyable.

So stinky.

This film should be sued under the trade description act. A film that has the bare minimum of Superman. At least Reeve is still solid in it.

Barely qualifies as a Superman movie. It was more like a slapstick comedy that Superman happened to be in.

not sure if this was a Richard Pryor movie or the third superman movie.

one thing about this that was actually good was Christopher reeve's performance as evil superman. especially the junkyard fight with clark kent

Superman III has some fun & goofy moments but it suffers from a boring plot, boring characters, and in the end i fell like not a lot happens in the film.
