Description

After the successes of the first two amazing Superman films, we now hit a downward spiral and essentially, the movie that started the downfall of the Man of Steel. But we answer the question: Is Superman III really as bad as people say it is? Or has it grown over time?


Well, in this revisited review, Joshua Drake of Epictastic Joshua decides to go back and review this movie with better quality and answers the question and gives an opinion that may or may not be controversial. This is his revisited review of Superman 3.

Sypnosis

Computer programmer Gus Gorman (Richard Pryor) is hired by financial tycoon Ross Webster (Robert Vaughn) to seize control of a weather satellite and annihilate Colombia's coffee crop. When Superman (Christopher Reeve) manages to thwart the plan, Webster commands Gorman to use the satellite to locate kryptonite, the Man of Steel's mortal weakness. But a missing unknown element in the kryptonite -- replaced by Gorman with tar -- causes an unintended side effect when presented to Superman.
