"I ask you to kill Superman, and you're telling me you couldn't even do that one, simple thing." Now Webster, this movie's Luthor, says that Gus on phone but in retrospect it feels like that was something that was said to the director, Richard Lester. I like Richard Pryor a lot, but when he is at least half of a Superman movie and he is not Superman, we have a problem. The new group of villains aren't unique or interesting. In fact the best bad guy in the movie is Superman himself. To that point, there are elements of great potential in this movie. A synthetic kryptonite that has red kryptonite properties, the super computer has Brainiac potential, and a Clark romance with Lana that can throw a monkey wrench in the Lois and Clark adventure. But none of it is done particularly well or at the very least isn't written well enough to translate over physically. Annette was great as Lana and Chris did a great job at again creating another version of the same person that feels completely independent from the other parts, its just a shame that everything happening around these two kind of waters down their performances. Part of me really wants to like 3, but it's just not good.
