The only redeeming aspects of this failure is the good vs evil Superman fight in the scrap yard and seeing Superman act like a prick for a little while. Richard Lester should have never been given the keys to this franchise and what they were thinking giving Richard Pryor such a role and seemingly telling him to do whatever he wants is even more bewildered. Too much slapstick, too much 'comedy', a poor villain (Superman fights a computer at the end) and the beginning of the end for this franchise after the good work Richard Donner did with the first two.
