SUPERMAN III
If for nothing else other than evening out the tone of the franchise, Superman III should be congratulated—even if it only got evened out in favor of idiotic hi-jinx. The point is, at least it feels of a piece with itself, and that's some kind of improvement over the patchwork of Superman II. Obviously, however, nobody in their right mind would ever describe it as an actual better movie. Or would I?
