I know, I know, I know, You watched Superman III and you think it's a pile of Kryptonite TAR...But I actually like this. I have noticed though that this is a movie that mimics the villain Lex Luthor, instead, the actual villain is stupid, andI know, I know, I know, You watched Superman III and you think it's a pile of Kryptonite TAR...But I actually like this. I have noticed though that this is a movie that mimics the villain Lex Luthor, instead, the actual villain is stupid, and the henchman is Smart, it's different and odd at times and None of the elements in this movie make practical sense.
As If it was from a Superhero comic book.

I think this film struggles with the idea of Ironing out elements of the film and interpreting them in a correct manner.

You will see things that just do not make sense in any context, but it's interesting though because you probably never see anything like it in any film. You'll know them when you see them, they are literally in plain sight.

Not only that, the film spends considerable time on them.

So why do I rate this so highly, well out of the three films this is definitely the worst, but it's enjoyable. It definitely feels like a comic book that a 12-year-old came up with when he was in class not doing his work, and that's ok. Look I'm even surprised I'm saying this.

The Idea of it all on paper sounds really great, however, the implementation, due to the year it was made just ended up producing something completely wrong, but it's weirdly interesting.

7/10, It's an interesting film, not great by any standards but entertaining enough to be a Superman Film to finish a Trilogy.

Quest for Peace is Next, oh boy.… Expand
