Nevertheless, it was one of the five most successful films of 1983. Points of criticism were that the movie had more a comical storyline, and that the villains in the film were not as strong as in the previous two. Producer Ilya Salkind claimed he originally Brainiac, Mr. Mxyzptlk, and Supergirl wanted to use it in the movie but that Warner Bros. was against this plan.

The villain Ross Webster was seen by critics as a uninspired replacement of Lex Luthor.

Although the film was seen as inferior to its predecessors, critics found him better than the sequel. ===Yield<span class="mw-editsection" len="328" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The proceeds of the film was in the United States $ 59,950, 623. Since both previous films in the US yielded over the $ 100 million, the film was considered a financial disappointment. The low sales is attributed to the bad criticisms that the film received, and the fact that he came out at the same time with other great movies such as Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi and two James Bond movies: Octopussy and Never Say Never Again . ===Film Music<span class="mw-editsection" len="329" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The music of the film was composed by Ken Thorne.
