The beginning of the Superman III gave me doubts that this movie was going to be any good. Yeah, the little jokes here and there were cute, but it just didn't really seem to fit with what was established in the first two films. Luckily, the movie did get better and I ended up loving it by the time it was over. Some of the jokes that were done in the movie are silly and childish, but there are also some jokes in the film that were funny. Some scenes of Richard were good and some were bad, but I overall liked his performance in the film.
There are just a lot of things about this movie that I really did like and made the film for me. I have to say, that it was definitely the part of the movie when Superman turns bad and eventually splits into two personalities due to the man-made Kryptonite. That entire part of the movie I just loved, an evil Superman similar to what the red Kryptonite does to Clark in the TV series Smallville. If you notice, the colors that Superman has when he is bad are the colors of Superman's suit in Superman Returns. The battle between good Clark and evil Superman was pulled of amazingly well. Best scene of the movie.
This film is also Clark's return to Smallville where he reunites with Lana (played my future Smallville actress O'Toole). She did a perfect job as Lana Lang in the film she would have to since the movie is about her with little shown of Lois Lane. Overall, there are a lot of things I can say about this movie but let me just say that I really do recommend this movie, it is fun and very underrated.

I Think The First Two ( Superman 1 & 2 ) Were By Far The Best, Still This One Was Ok , The Storyline Could have Been Alot Better However , To Be Honest , I Bought Superman 3 And 4 , So That I Would Own Them All , I Must Say ,The "The Adventures Of Superman" On TV Starring GEORGE REEVES Will Forever Be My Favorite , To Me (George Reeves), Will Always Be Superman , Even Without All The Special Effects Availabe To Hollywood Now . Still Christopher Reeve Was A Great Choice To Play The Man Of Steel On The Big Screen In The 70's ,And He Became The Real Superman To A Whole New Generations Of Kids!! . God Bless You Chris .

I first saw this when I was just a kid, My earliest memory of Superman is from this film.(At the begining with the car filling with water and superman rescues the guy trapped inside)
Even though I know this film compared to the previous 2 films is very poor!
I still love it.
And this deluxe version really improves on the crappy release we got back in 2001.
A must have for any Superman fan and the last decent(ish) Christopher Reeve Superman before everything went down the plug hole in the 4th film.

This is THE worst Superman film ever, it might even be the worst movie ever made!!!! If you want a good superman film DVD collection like I have, here's a list:
Superman: The Movie 4-Disk set
Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut
Superman Returns 2-Disk set
Unfortunatly you get less movies this way, but they're makind a sequal so hopefully it'll be good, however you'll have to wait unyl 2009, so my advice, watch Superman cartoons, read Superman comics, and all that other stuff, then 2009 will be here before you know it! Just don't watch this (and don't watch IV either.)

Before writing this review, I viewed the others on this page and I am afraid that my view differs greatly from all but one of theirs. When I first saw this movie I was about 4 or 5 and found it to be fun and exciting. In experiencing these four films on DVD in a widscreen movie format as an adult I think Superman 1 through 3 are equally fantastic. What I liked about Superman 3 is precisely what most everyone else seemed to dislike, the lighter more humorous approuch to the story. I thought it was a nice change from the first two films which were very serious, excellent, but serious. It was in the same vain as Star Trek 4 The voyage Home, which was very light, humourous and adventurous. I thought it was a fitting change of pace from the first three, which delt with some very heavy issues as did the first two Superman Films. The new villain in this film was also a nice change, luther had already appeared in the first two, so having superman face off with someone unkown to him was great. I absolutely loved Richard Pryor in this, he was just so funny and his wonderful comic style helped bring a lighter air to this movie. I Agree with the other reviewers that Richard Donner is an excellent director and should not have been replaced, not to take anything way from Mr. Lester who I thought did a great job with Superman 3. I appreacated all of the opinions I read, as a superman fan who takes the quality of the films seriously, it is good to see that there are others as protective of the super film legacy as I.
Thanks for a great Movie Mr. Reeve and Warner Brothers
