Bad for Good
Reviewed by TheWordman for Superman 3 at 2008-12-11 15:59:59
123 mins #!@%*# Lester time waster. Translation? Poorly concieved plot, horrid special effects(even for the time period), plastic tongue in cheeking, some Richard Pryor mugging(he did so much better work with the right material), and some classic moments. Examples: 1. Supe vs Clark(always a fav scene), 2. Drunk Superman melting the bar mirror then staggering out to the city, being rude, etc. 3. Tower of Pisa gets a different slant via Angry Supe, 4. Richard Pryor in a pink faux Superman robe skiing off the skyscraper. Yeah. So in conclusion, aside from a few choice moments, this movie kinda blew. Movie is definitely lacks #!@%*# Donner's direction. ..but.. at least it isn't Superman IV. Less is more on that.

This has got to be one of the best comedy's ever. Most of the jokes still carry thru to today, and the ones that don't, you'll still "get". Great movie that has past the test of time.

Excellent performance

Diana Ross gives an outstanding performance and Billy Dee Williams is golden! The movie takes liberties with the true life story of Billie Holiday, but the movie is so entertaining that you forgive them for stretching the truth.
