[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Superman III DVD.jpg

Image:Superman III DVD.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Neutrality

The neutrality is said to be disputed, and I agree. I think the Critical reaction Is the main factor for this. Here is something I removed:

• It is generally accepted that while the film was inferior to its predecessors, it was still significantly superior to the universally-derided 'Quest for Peace', which followed four years later.

The problem is well beyond that. Has anyone actually read the footnotes?? Wildhartlivie (talk) 07:57, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Superman vs. Clark

Was it a real battle, or was it taking place inside his head?--Fingerknöchelkopf (talk) 10:26, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

I interpreted it symbolically, but the scene seemed ambiguous. 惑乱 分からん * \)/ (\ (< \) (2 /) /)/ * (talk) 17:11, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

It was also really, really lame. And the critics said so too. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 00:10, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm, the final battle was lamer. 惑乱 分からん * \)/ (\ (< \) (2 /) /)/ * (talk) 11:26, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

And what does it say about a film's quality, when we have a debate over which part of it is lamer? :( Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 12:33, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

I thought the movie was okay, you just have to accept it as campy silliness. 惑乱 分からん * \)/ (\ (< \) (2 /) /)/ * (talk) 14:07, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Like a lot of films that really aren't very well done, it was worth seeing once. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 00:02, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GA fail

I am failing this article because several of its images have no fair-use rationale. Also, many sections are lacking citations. There are "citation needed" and "weasel word" tags. Lastly, there isn't any production section and the plot summary is too long. Feel free to renominate when these things are fixed. (It is a pretty good movie by the way :) ) Wrad (talk) 03:07, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] KryptoNot

similar to Red and Black Kryptonite Red? Maybe. Black? Didn't exist yet at the time of the film. I just took them both out; comparisons aren't necessary, the description of the fake-K's effect can stand on its own without throwing in what it's "kinda like". There's too many uncited kinda-likes in WP articles as it is. --Noclevername (talk) 19:08, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
