Who else was freaked out when Annie turned into a cyborg?

[wstine]

The fight between Evil Superman and Clark in the junkyard, the supercomputer finale, and Lana were my favorite moments.

Christopher Reeve scared the shit out of me when he got pissed off during the junkyard fight
What an actor!

[blackamerican]

RIP Christopher, Richard and Margot 😢🙏🙏🙏

Besides scaring younger kids when the woman got wrapped up in those wires and made a robot. I will never forget that part.

Had this on VHS as a kid, recorded off TV. Watched it a ton and always loved it.

As a kid, I didn’t question anything about this movie. But as an adult, one starts noticing things, like Margot Kidder barely being in the movie, Richard Pryor practically being the star of the movie, Robert Vaughn just being another Lex Luthor, that whole comedic opening etc. But one also notices other things, like Clark Kent being himself when he’s back in Smallville. Christopher Reeve is such a good actor.

I will always rail against popular opinion with Superman III - I bloody love it. There, I said it. ❤

[koolburn]

As a kid and even rewatching this as an adult, I still like the film honestly. I guess it's the generation that matters, because many movies I see nowadays at 42 years old don't seem that great.

I remember watching this and saying to myself that Superman has gone off the deep end. Then I saw Superman 4 and thought part 3 wasn't that bad😂

[GregsGameRoom]

I dunno, there’s a lot to like about this movie. Reeve is still amazing, the chemical plant sequence, Lana Lang, Webster, the Superman vs. Superman fight, the giant supercomputer set is awesome, RoboVera, the Atari made video game sequence, and even Richard Pryor has a lot of funny moments. The only truly TERRIBLE Superman movie is Part 4.

[jamesmorant]

It was way better than Superman 4 and Superman vs. Clark in the junkyard was awesome

[white-dragon]

What happened to Superman 4? One word...CANNON.

[mikesmithz]

Maybe I was just the right age, but superman 3 is the one I remember the most. I know all the parts so it must have been my favorite.

Evil Superman: (Grabbing Clark Kent) “You always wanted to fly Kent, now’s your chance…(Throws Kent)……….Fight in the junkyard….

[jad-]

I like it, saw it as a kid and had a great time

[wstine]

"Congratulations, old buddy. You're gonna go down in history as the man who killed Superman."

[Rescoase]

Computer woman part was ahead of its time imo

[robatkinson]

Ironically the best scene in this film is as good as any scene of all the films

[jasontoutges]

I was 4 or 5 years old when I saw this movie in theaters, the cyborg lady at the end freaked me out and I loved it. Today as an adult, it certainly isn't as good as the first two, but part 4 The Quest For Peace was definitely the worst of all four films.
