Superman III has the best flying effects, as they had really mastered the wire work by that point. It’s the traditional visual effects that weren’t too great, relying on a lot of cell animation. Probably didn’t help that the cinematography on the film was pretty flat and just the look of the film had that ugly early 80s look. Don’t know if it was down to the film stock or that a lot of the daytime scenes are either cloudy or completely washed out (to hide the wire work I guess). Compare with the beautiful cinematography of STM by Geoffrey Unsworththat has an almost timeless look. Superman IV was obviously a complete disaster, since it was basically budgeted like a 1950s B-Movie. Superman II gets a grade of Incomplete. Almost all the big effects shots are from Lester, who like Joss Whedon on Justice League was rushing to finish the reshoots and additions footage with an approach of “thats good enough”. The few Donner scenes line up with STM since it was from the same crew and shoot. The Donner Cut new footage doesn’t really help as most of it is CGI work on a limited budget.

Not kicking ass, beating up a bad ass, destroying cities, BUT SAVING PEOPLE, CARING for EACH and EVERYONE! Anyone can put on a crazy outfit and start a fight, but, it takes A REAL HERO 'to PROTECT those who cannot protect themselves', The motto of Marines. And to think there are those among us, that mourn the loss of fisticuffs in this great 1978 movie. With the exception of the Captain America movies and, the first Avengers Movie in which the heroes went out of their way to save people from the Chitauri, a threat the heroes didn't cause themselves, what OTHER Marvel movies or DCEU movies, have focused on saving people as the primary goal? People that depend on violence to make a movie 'great' NEED to LEARN what it means to HELP people on-a-daily-basis. Being a Superhero you have to start small. then, over the course of time, what's external build to what has already existed, internally. If the powers-that-be TRULY WANT to make another Superman movie receiving the same rave reviews of the 1978 movie, they must UNLEARN the cynicism of the past four decades, and embrace HOPE over so-called realism. 🙏
