	Author	Review
United States	Variety	"Screenplay is filled with witty lines and enjoyable characters, but Jeannot Szwarc’s direction is rather flat."	NEU
United States	Paul Attanasio The Washington Post	"Szwarc could have done more with the action scenes, but he has a snappy sense of pace and comic timing; cinematographer Alan Hume contributes some beautiful photography"	POS
United States	Dave Kehr Chicago Reader	"This is one comic-book feature that doesn't fly."	NEG
United States	Janet Maslin The New York Times	"It is never as boldly witty as 'Superman II,' still the best in the series. Even Miss Dunaway, who seems to be vastly enjoying her witch's role, is constrained by the mildness of the material."	NEU
United Kingdom	Time Out	"You won't care, and [the producers] knew that before they started - just as they knew that Szwarc was TV-fast and presumably TV-cheap"	NEG
