Superman III (1983)

Prepare your face for a severe palming. A lot of Part III is campy comedy drama. Sure, it's based on a comic book, but that's no excuse for piss poor slapstick. I'm talking custard pie comedy. Really.
It's a shame because in the middle section Reeve gives his best performance of the whole series.
Also, removing him from Metropolis gave him room to let the Clark character grow beyond a clumsy oaf.
Seeing Annette O'Toole play Clark's first love, Lana Lang, was fun. She would go on to play Clark's mom in the Smallville TV series years later.
