Yes this movie is nowhere nearly as good as the first two Superman movies. Yes Richard Pryor is completely out of place in a movie like this. Yet I enjoyed this movie despite its faults. Christopher Reeve saves this movie with his good performance as Superman. Annette O'Toole is very good as Lana Lang. Unfortunately, Margot Kidder makes an all too brief appearance as Lois Lane. I think if there were more scenes between Lois Lane and Lana Lang, this might have worked more. The action scenes are very good especially between Superman and Clark Kent. However, they pale in comparison to the fight between Superman and the three super villains in Superman II. This movie lacks the magic the first two movies have. If you take it on its own, you will enjoy it. However, if you are constantly comparing it to the first two movies, you will not. 5/10
