Critics consensus

“When not overusing sight gags, slapstick, and Richard Pryor, Superman III resorts to plot points rehashed from the previous Superman flicks.”

Tedious, labored, and feeble beyond belief.

A witty refreshing escape of a movie.

Mainly, it is pretty much what you would expect from a Superman movie starring Richard Pryor: moderately entertaining and totally predictable.

…Superman III is crass, corny, and a permanent strain to watch…Richard Pryor’s brand of worldly comedy just doesn’t fit this universe and the result is a tonal catastrophe that shows director Richard Lester way out of his comic element….
