“Superman III” is great for one reason: Richard Pryor’s subplot
"Superman III" does not work as a movie about the character known as Superman. It works incredibly well, however, as two things that one would not normally find in a "Superman" film: One is a sweet Richard Pryor comedy about an archetype that will always have resonance in our world, the lonely and hapless (but clever) ordinary man.The other is a light satire — nothing particularly controversial,...
