Classic Friday : Superman III (1983) 7/10

Starring : Christopher Reeve, Richard Pryor, Robert Vaughn, Margot Kidder
Director : Richard Lester
Running Time : 125 mins

Megalomaniac Ross Webster (Vaughn) employs the aid of computer hacker Gus Gorman (Pryor) in his bid to control the worlds economy. Meanwhile Superman (Reeve) becomes exposed to a new form of Kryptonite that makes him incredibly depressed and eventually splits him in two, producing a mild mannered Clark Kent with no powers and an evil Superman who only wants to put an end to Kent.

Definitely not the best of the series, but by no means this worst, this is far more of a comedy than a superhero movie, with Pryor almost spoiling the movie – not through his own fault, but because of the plot. There are some nice memorial moments such as the Superman Versus Superman fight, but it’s something of a let down compared to the first two.
