not the Man of Steel's finest moment
The momentum of the previous two Superman pics unfortunately began to decline with this entry.
An unemployed nebbish (Richard Pryor) soon discovers that he's not bad with computers & ends up unwittingly giving his new boss (Robert Vaughn) the means to do in the Man of Steel.
There is some good stuff here, like the phony Kryptonite the bad guys give our hero, which causes his good and bad sides to eventually split into two people, who have a great fight scene in a junkyard (kudos once again to Christopher Reeve). Pryor's humor is also great without being a distraction to the picture.
Sadly, the bad outweighs the good here as there are too many moments which make the viewer roll his/her eyes (the biggie being what Pryor's supercomputer does to the villain's butch sister).

Good but the first two are better!
Superman III gets a lot of hate. I enjoy it. It's good but the first two were better. It's funny with Richard Pryor in it. The main villain of the movie had nothing relating to the comics. I have no idea why a lot of people hated it. It's very underrated. I recommend it especially if you are a Superman fan.

Richard Pryor Saves Superman?
When Superman has to be rescued by Richard Pryor, you know the 'Superman' series has gone one movie too far. Only recommended for fans who can stand this dismal outing of the famed comic-book hero.
