Superman 3 (1983)
Director Richard Lester and star Christopher Reeve return for this sequel which features comedian Richard Pryor. After mind wiping Lois Lane in the last film Superman returns to Smallville to chase his high school crush Lana Lang.
The opening sequence should be a big give away that there is a change in tone for this film compared to the previous two. Making a Superman comedy does not really come off that well and really it is hard to find good parts to this film. Having a bad Superman is an interesting idea that is not capitalised on or explored that deeply and despite managing to run to two hours there is not a lot of a plot here. This really is a let down right from the completely out of place slapstick sequence that runs during the opening credits.
2/5
