Superman III (Deluxe Edition)

In association with Amazon.com
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - My First Superman Film!
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.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - I wanted to give it no stars, but it wouln't let me
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.)



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - SuperGREAT
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



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best Superman movie!
This is by far my most favorite superman movie. I've been waiting for 16 years for this "Making of Superman 3" to go on sale officially. I bought this dvd from amazon as soon as it got out and I don't regret it. The picture Quality of the main film seems better on this deluxe edition and the quality of picture on the documentary is superb. In additional scenes there is actually just one scene involving superman, and all the others revolve around richard pryor. Still for any Superman 3 fan this dvd is obligatory.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - The ruining of the franchise
When Richard Lester took over directing Superman II after Richard Donner quit/got fired he put in a lot of stupid campy scenes especially with the fight between Superman and the Villains, this ruined Superman II for me. Richard Lester directs this the 3rd movie and screws it up making a movie that is totally unwatchable to me.

The First big mistake is he makes Richard Pryor the star and Superman more of a co-star and thusly making Superman III a comedy and doesn't even try to take itself seriously. It is very campy and is insulting to Richard Donner who never wanted Superman to end up this way.

He also gets rid of Lois Lane only having her in the very beginning and end of the movie, her role feels like a cameo. This is a HUGE mistake since Supermans love interest is always suppose to be Lois Lane, he gave up his powers for her in the second movie and practically forgets all about her in the 3rd. I read that they did this because Margot Kidder spoke publicly about not liking Richard Lester and the Salkinds, well she was right, Richard Lester is an idiot.

He made the villain a selfish rich man who just didn't feel like he had enough in the world and needed to take away from everyone else. He was no where near as interesting as Lex Luther.

I do appreciate when directors or studios decide to change the flow of a franchise to better it but this ruined it. It went against everything Richard Donner set up in the first movie and forgot the movies main character is Superman and not Richard Pryor. I hate Richard Lester for doing this, if Richard Donner had continued the series (wich he states he wanted to do) this never would have happened and there would have been more GOOD Superman Movies with Christopher Reeve that we could have enjoyed.
