Superman III

A literally repulsive film that degraded my beloved Man of Steel into a figure supporting peace, saving the world from global or societal problems, and often having more problems with itself than with its cunning enemies. In the absence of Lex and the minimized scope of Lois's character, the only interesting moment is the fight between Clark and Kal-El. Fans of the source material will be pleased to discover Lana Lang, but even this motive ultimately comes across as somewhat lost. And now the main negative: stuttering, annoying, and perpetually obstructing Richard Pryor on the screen. Without him, it would be weak, with him, it's a disaster for the best character in DC Comics.

In order to entertain the audience, the filmmakers tried to complement the film with an interesting actor who was very popular in his time. This actor was the black comedian Richard Pryor, who played a brilliant fool whose abilities are utilized by the evil side without him knowing what he's actually causing. Choosing an actor who became famous mainly for comedies and for his partnership with Gene Wilder simply didn't work out; his character is incredibly clumsy and cliché, and I dare say, even annoying. His simplicity is more irritating than sympathetic. And so, a film was created that is not a completely worthy continuation of the previous two films, and a decreasing level of quality is too apparent. Christopher could try his best, but even his charm couldn't make up for this. More: http://www.comics-blog.cz/2013/08/238-superman-3-1983-45.html (19.08.2013)
