Watch Superman III For Free

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

quite good ... a bit too much slapstick but that happens when you get the change of a director. personally I love the Clark and Lana parts and Gus redeeming himself but its strange without Hackman or Margot kidder.It's nice that this tome around reeve is fully confident compared to the predecessors.

Although he seems to be a nice guy "Gus Gorman" (Richard Pryor) is essentially a bum. He manages to scrape by on unemployment and when he does get a job he doesn't keep it for very long. Then one day he notices an ad offering training for computer programming and he discovers that he is a natural at it. Soon he finds low-level employment working for a multi-national conglomerate and becomes dismayed when he gets his first paycheck. However, his income changes dramatically when he ingeniously comes up with a plan to acquire the small percentages normally rounded up by the computer and subsequently transfers them to his payroll account. Unfortunately, this penny shaving technique is caught by the accountants who immediately inform the CEO by the name of "Ross Webster" (Robert Vaughn). Yet, rather than being angry, Ross is so impressed with Gus' ability that he talks him into a scheme to hack into other computers in order make a fortune for him and his small group of conspirators. While all of this is going on, "Superman" (Christopher Reeve) has assumed his alternate identity as "Clark Kent" and gone back to Smallville to attend a high school reunion and while there he gets caught up in a relationship with "Lana Lang" (Annette O'Toole). Now, initially I had high hopes for this movie. Unfortunately, film seemed to get side-tracked by repeated (and mostly unsuccessful) attempts at humor and numerous sub-plots which only served to detract from the movie as a whole. On that note, at times it seemed like Gus Gorman was the main character rather than Superman. But that's just my opinion. In any case, while I don't consider this movie to be necessarily bad, I must admit I was somewhat disappointed and because of that I have rated it accordingly. Average.

"The first of two extremely weak sequels"? Exactly. Actually, all of the Christopher Reeves movies are weak, in part due to his awful acting abilities.Benton seems to be one of those persons who can't tell good acting from delivering lines as if you're reading cue cards - badly. He says, " Annette O'Toole is a good fit for the part of Lana Lang...".Is he kidding? O'Toole is so fakey and bad at speaking her lines it's painful to watch.Richard Lester is ones of those old style directors who seems to demand bad acting from his ensemble. Everyone in the movie is poor to horrible - even the extras in the opening sequence.

This has got to be one of the most painful, if not the most painful movie to sit through. First, you have the first one which I thought it was a classic. Second, you have the sequel where different directors have their own cut of the movie as Lester's cut did fine, but I much prefer Donner's cut. Now, we have the third movie that had just made this franchise go way overboard. I'm not happy with the direction for what this movie went, because like I said it is painful to watch. Here is my take on it: The movie centers mostly on Gus Gorman, who is nothing more but a bum as he looks for a job by working as a programmer on computers; while that is going on, CEO of the computer company, Ross Webster hires him to do on what he is being told but Superman foils his plan. So they try to make Kryptonite to kill Superman, but instead of that, his personalities has now change. On the other hand, Clark Kent returns to Smallville for a high school reunion with one of his best friends Lana Lang. So, that is what the movie is about. This plot for the third movie isn't as interesting as you thought it would. Heck, I didn't think it was that interesting either. This movie is not only having its camp factors like Lester's cut of "Superman II," but having put too much comedy in it. There is nothing wrong for putting comedy in a superhero movie, but all jokes that were putted in the movie are being forced; its just trying too hard to make something on what is suppose to be funny. None of the jokes ever worked. I hated the opening scene, where instead of the tradition opening credits like the other "Superman" movies, they just show the city of Metropolis for becoming a madhouse as well as having the credits for making it look like the opening text crawl from the "Star Wars" movies. Richard Pryor is not funny in this movie, and doesn't belong here to be in this movie. I've read the movie's trivia on IMDb, where Pryor read the script and thought it was terrible, but agreed to do it for paycheck. I'll forgive Pryor for his involvement, but if he wants to be in this movie then have him play a villain or something, instead of being a comedic sidekick. The villains in this movie are uninspiring, because they couldn't used any villains from the comics but just have to be created for the movie. I honestly don't care for Ken Thorne's music or some of Giorgio Moroder's music that he created for the movie, which I find them nothing to be appealing. The acting is so-so for the cast, except for Christopher Reeve, Annette O'Toole and a small appearance from Margot Kidder. Margot Kidder's look for Lois Lane is okay, but miss the way she look in the first one and the second one in Donner's cut. Her acting is still good, but wish that she had more screen time. As for Annette O'Toole, her performance as Lana Lang is well done, but I don't find her chemistry with Christopher Reeve well enough as much as I enjoy the chemistry between Reeve and Kidder. Now for Christopher Reeve, he is still giving a great performance for playing Clark Kent and Superman, and there is nothing to dislike about him. I love him when he becomes corrupted by a fake Kryptonite as he turns to the dark side; he seems to have a blast for this role for playing such a bad superhero. I do like where evil Superman fights his ego Clark Kent as its pretty much a fight between Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. As Clark Kent finishes off his evil self, I love when the Superman theme comes in as he is now fully redeem, while he opens up his shirt by revealing his costume and fixed the damage that he caused. That is where I get the feel of that I'm watching a "Superman" movie, until it goes back to being painful. The child actor who plays Lana Lang's son Ricky is really annoying aside from Pryor's character. Even his acting is very wooden. The special effects are similar to Lester's cut of "Superman II" as there are parts that are good and bad. Lester's direction is terrible, and you still wish if the Salkinds have not fired Richard Donner for making "Superman II" as if this franchise would still be strong. This is not an easy movie to sit through, because at least when you have some bad movies like either "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III," "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," or "X-Men: The Last Stand;" there are at least not as painful as "Superman III." Although, I do thought the third "X-Men" movie is okay, but still not good. I'm sure you're going to disagree with me on one of those movies, but that just me being bias about something. This movie sure does feel like Pryor's movie than Superman's, because Pryor really steals the show. This movie should have more scenes with Superman, than having more scenes with Pryor in it. I don't like "Superman III," and I strongly don't recommend it. I give it a 3 out of 10.
