	Superman III is an awful movie.  It tries to parody itself
    and fails, and it totally ignores its roots, i.e. COMICS!  Also,
    the stuff about computers is so bad, even for this sort of movie,
    that it makes you want to cry.  The only thing resonably decent were
    the characters, and then only the ones that were invented long ago
    (Superman, Lois, Lana, Mr. White, et. al.).  In other words, nothing
    that the Salkinds came up with was any good.  Superman is, by the
    way, my least favorite comic book character, but even he deserved
    better than this.
	Also, language in comics is strictly G rated.  Even the most
    barbaric comic characters emit no worse language than "flamin'" or
    "Christmas".  There are no "damn", "J*sus Chr*st", or "Son of a Bitch"s
    in comics, so how come they're in the movie?  They certainly don't
    add anything to it.
