Well, here we are. The people asked for it, and today we deliver. Brendan has finally watched Superman III. But... he's not happy about it.

Our opinions of the movie are fairly similar, only I am much softer on it because I saw it so many times on cable TV when I was a kid, and came to terms with its mediocrity decades ago. Brendan is still reeling from it, as you will see straight away. Brace yourselves.

There's a lot of things I could say about Superman III, but I think the real tragedy is that pretty much everything Richard Donner fought to prevent from happening to a Superman movie happens here... like, all within the first five minutes. And to make matters worse, Superman is reduced to a supporting character in his own film. It's not even a good Richard Pryor movie, and we love Richard Pryor.

Not everyone hates this film... in fact, a lot of people actually love it. So if you feel we're being too harsh, tell us why!

But you know, maybe give Brendan a minute. It's been a rough couple of weeks.
