7/08: Yep, this is the worst Superman movie of all time.

Superman III has left my head shaking. Nothing works. Every time a subplot occurs, I've forgotten what just happened before. If the sequel is going to leave out Marlon Brando, Margot Kidder, Gene Hackman, Ned Beatty, and Valerie Perrine, then it's fair to say the franchise is over.

Allowing Richard Pryor to play a crackhead doesn't help matters any. At the end, his character getting a "get out of jail free" card doesn't sit well with me. It's hard to believe Clark Kent is no longer interested in Lois Lane by switching his eyes on the sensual Lana Lang who comes off like an insidious money-grubbing, fame-seeking whore.

All in all, there are many things wrong with Superman III, but I'm too exhausted to list them.
