I saw this movie when I was very young and when I was older wanted to see it again but could not find it in any of the shops ( I don't think they sell it in Australia anymore ) So I ordered it from amazon.co.uk and got it for my birthday and watched it straight away. This movie when compared to the other Superman movies is a complete and utter load of crap. *WARNING:CONTAINS SPOILERS* For example the first 2 entries in the franchise opened big with wonderful intergalactic credits. However in this installment the credits are absolute rubbish. Instead of taking place in space accompanied by the Superman Theme as they should do they are instead put over some crappy slapstick sequence which has absolutely no place in a Superman Movie and is a disgrace to the name of Superman. On a high note however this movie has great special effects, A superb cast and some good scenes. Superman III has the best scene in the Superman Trilogy ( and yes before people remind me that there are 4 Superman movies I know this but I say trilogy because I think the 4th Movie is a disgrace to the name of movies and dhould be wiped off the face of the earth. which I'm sure it will once everyones forgotten about it in a few years.) Anyway back to the topic Superman III contains the best scene in all 3 oh alright 4 of the Superman Movies-The fight between Good Superman and Evil Superman. Best scene in the series and is the highpoint of this film. Also the Chemical Fire scenes are very enjoyable. However the climax I thought was absolutely crap and to campy and far fetched. So there you have it. I think Superman III is an average movie that although not nearly as good as number I and II is still a reasonably good movie and has great acting, good special effects and beats Superman IV : The Quest For Crap any day.
