	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- SUPERMAN III
		SUPERMAN III ($20) confirms that director Richard Donner and "creative consultant" Tom Mankiewicz were the men responsible for the success of SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE and everything that was great about SUPERMAN II.
		Since much of SUPERMAN II was already in the can and the script had the fingerprints of the "creative consultant" all over it, the second film was almost as bullet proof as the Man of Steel and couldn’t be damaged by their replacements.
		SUPERMAN III does not utilize the soft focus photography that was features in SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE and SUPERMAN II, so the film starts out looking somewhat crisper and better defined than the first two installments.

		One of the highlights in Superman III (and there aren’t many) is Christopher Reeve’s acting ability, especially the scene where he is fighting himself.
		Superman III was a far cry in tone and spirit from the previous two Superman films.
		Superman III basically thrashed everything that was done before in Superman and Superman II and instead used it as a vehicle to showcase Richard Pryor’s comedy.

		Superman's first encounter with kryptonite did not take place in his comic.
		It was not until 1949 that the comic book writers incorporated it into their stories, as both a convenient danger and weakness for Superman and to add an interesting element to his stories.
		After the 1985 miniseries Crisis on Infinite Earths and writer John Byrne's revision of the Superman mythos in 1986, the status of kryptonite was vastly changed.

		Superman II The story of Superman vs the evil kryptonians who Jor-el had exiled to the phantom Zone.
		The sequel to Superman the movie was almost as good, and I say that having 20 years to think about it.
		The first Superman movie in my humble opinion was probably the best movie ever made, at the least the most spectacular, and it makes it hard to watch Superman IV with an open mind without expecting to much from it.

	Superman Needs an Agent - Mises Institute
		Weather control In the early stages of III, Superman rescues the coffee crop of South America by undoing the attempts of a super villain to influence the weather.
		Superman could easily earn this much annually either responding to or preventing such natural calamities, and as the movies demonstrate, each particular remedy wouldn't take up much of his (incredibly valuable) time.
		In these cases, Superman would adopt the paternalistic attitude that he would not cater to the desires of smokers (or lonely men, etc.); even though they would themselves prefer to spend their money on cigarettes, they really don't know what is good for them.

	SUPERMAN III - Underated - The Planet
		Superman III was the perfect example of the saying, "if you stray from the formula, you pay the price..." This movie had no Richard Donner, no FOS, no Jor-El or Lara, no Lex Luthor, very little Metropolis, and pratically no Lois Lane.
		Superman III had some good moments, but was not a good film altogether.
		III is actually my favourite of the lot, I love the first film but it's not perfect by any stretch of the imagination.

	Superman Super Site - Superman: II - The Adventure Continues
		Superman II is not a sequel in the sense that a sequel is usually made to cash in on the success of its predecessor.
		Superman 1 proved to be an enormously problem-laden production where shooting overran and there were considerable tensions between the Salkinds’ and director Richard Donner.
		The subsequent Superman films were Superman III (1983) and Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987), the latter made after the Salkinds sold the property due to the flop of III.

		The opening scene, for example, is a giant choreographed custard pie sequence where Clark Kent’s changing into Superman unwittingly causes a chain of disasters in the street involving a blind man, toy penguins, a row of phone booths collapsing and a fire hydrant causing a man to nearly drown inside his car.
		His exploits are given as much running time as Superman’s and it is a clear signal that the film is focused on selling itself to the light comedy and children’s audience and that it is no longer interested in paying respect to the comic-book.
		In interviews following Superman II, Kidder had been vocal about expressing her dissatisfaction with the way the Salkinds had fired Donner and in punishment her role here was severely diminished with her appearances kept only to a few minutes at both the beginning and the end.

		Continuity: The diamond Superman makes by compressing a piece of coal would not be cut into a diamond shape like that, and a diamond made from a piece of coal that size wouldn't be nearly as big as it was.
		Continuity: When Superman enters the acid storage room we have a glance at the temperature needle and can see it is way to the right; but the chemist is calm and no alerts are active.
		Minutes later, before the place explodes, while Superman is freezing the lake, the lights in the room turn red and the chemist freaks out, but the needle is further from the danger zone than it was when we first saw it.

	Don't watch Superman III and IV
		While the thought of an evil Superman has always been intriguing, the film handles it amateurishly, ending in a big yardfight between Superman and Clark Kent (yes, you read that right!), leading one to speculate on the trippy direction Lester was taking the film in.
		Yet, despite having great potential -- imagine Superman's discussions with world leaders and a brief overview of the nuke threat for kids -- the film boils it all down to Superman gathering constantly launched nuclear missiles in a big outer-space bag and throwing them into the sun.
		Fashioned from a nuclear blast and a lock of Superman's hair, the most threatening characteristic of this solar-powered blonde goon had to be his dreadful nails.

		Starring the ultimate Superman, Christopher Reeve, pitted against the nasty Robert Vaughn and legendary funnyman Richard Pryor, "Superman III" is an all too underrated piece of the 4 film Superman franchise of the 70s and 80s.
		Clark transforms into superman, the pumphouse fails, and the firemen are without water and the fire threatens a storage unit of corrosive solid acid which is about to become vapor; acid vapor that can eat through steel/everything and destroy all life on earth.
		Superman blows compressed currents of cooled air at a nearby lake, then he lifts the lake to the fire, and drops it, and the ice changes to water from the heat and extinguishes the flame.

		The big news about "Superman III" is, of course, the presence of Richard Pryor in the cast.
		"Superman III" drops most of the threads of the first two movies -- including Lois Lane's increasingly complex love affair with Clark Kent and Superman -- and goes for the action.
		Then Superman gets zapped with some ersatz Kryptonite and turns into a meanie, which is good for some laughs (as a practical joke, he straightens the Leaning Tower of Pisa).

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Superman III
		It wasn't until our subject here, Superman III, fully directed by Lester under the Salkinds' blessings, that we can witness what the first movie could have been had Donner not saved it from the forces of mediocrity and insults to the audience's intelligence.
		For Superman III is both mediocre and an offense to our brains, imagination, and patience.
		We do.) The one interesting plot thread — a mentally unbalanced Superman, afflicted by a piece of synthetic red Kryptonite, physically splits into a fl-caped Übermensch battling his Clark Kent persona — fails to live up to its potential because no attempt is made to explore its greater possibilities.

		Once again, though, in 1982, he had to be away from home for an extended period, as the filming of Superman III began.
		It was, he explained, something he respected, because Superman had fallen in love "once and for all in Superman II." Superman had slept with Lois and then erased her memory of the affair.
		The scriptwriters of Superman III had seemed to settle for the lowest common denominator, a fact that wasn't lost on fans.

		In the first one the director centred the movie on superman's origins,which was important, to eventually make the man accomplish his main duty (very thrilling watching Clark ripping his shirt to show his S for the first time!): fight crime and protect the innocent.
		Superman III : it was original to see an old crush of Clark kent from Smallville (Lana Lang) rivaling with Lois Lane.
		Superman III was no doubt the weakest in the series, but not as bad as some reviewers have noted.

	Superman III (1983)
		Like Superman finding one person in a chemical plant fire who has good reasons not to leave, or later, Clark Kent clawing to escape from the jaws of a trash compactor (disturbing!).
		So, when he's not saving the world (or individuals), Superman is reduced to having to attend a little boy's birthday party, because he told all his friends that Superman would be coming.
		Superman III has some local affection for it because it's one of the biggest movies to be filmed here in Calgary (much of it was also filmed in the surrounding towns and countryside).
