Review of Superman III (1983) by Oliver G — 16 Jan 2018

Richard Pryor is never fully utilized in this film, playing a reluctant villain he comes across as superman's buddy, his comic genius lends to some funny parts but oh what could have been. The script is poorly written and strange unlikely scenarios that do not match the technology of the day to anyone who is remotely savvy, perhaps the audience in the 80's were more gullible.

However, this film highlights Christopher Reeves incredible acting chops when he portrays "evil" superman whose character was altered by the artificial Kryptonite. He not only differentiates himself from Superman/Kent but Evil/Good Superman.

The result is astounding and a much see for any superman fan. Evil superman is a delight to watch. His drinking binge and subsequent depressed, angry and vandalizing superman is unmatched on the screen.

Although this film is clearly inferior to the others, this scene alone makes it worth the watch.
