Supes turns evil ! And gets drunk !
By TJ from London , 14 Sep 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
If you disregard the spoof comedy side of this movie - all the parts with Richard Pryor, then somewhere inside you'll find a half-decent Superman movie starring the excellent Christopher Reeve. Scenes include him freezing a lake and dropping it on the fire to put it out, going to his high-school reunion to meet Lana Lang again and one of the best scenes of the whole series - Superman turns evil, gets drunk, then fights his good alter-ego Clark Kent. The whole bit about super computers and Richard Pryor is a bit of a waste of time, although some of it is still funny. Anyway, Reeve not only does boy-scout Clark and heroic Supes well, but gets to be a mean Supes too! Also includes him sneezing down the bowling alley and shattering all the skittles into a thousand pieces!- Was this review helpful to you?

(16)Average but worth it for the scrapyard scene alone
By Bassman71 (618 reviews) from Didsbury, England , 27 Feb 2012Unemployed man becomes computer programmer, has natural talent, increases salary, CEO wants man to help his evil plans, Superman to the rescue.
Third Superman outing which is pretty much a comedy vehicle for Richard Pryor and despite its funny moments falls a bit flat.
The whole computer thing does seem very dated now and it certainly misses Gene Hackman from the other films but the one stand-out is Christopher Reeve.
Looking more chiselled and heroic than ever, Reeve does his best to save the film.
His performances as Clark Kent, Superman AND evil Superman are excellent and the scene in scrapyard the standout of the film.
The music is one again done by Ken Thorne with a few of his own compositions in there but mainly built around the wonderful theme from John Williams.- Was this review helpful to you?
