With wooden acting, a plodding storyline, and several cringeworthy changes from the source material, the 2022 version indeed starts a fire – a dumpster fire.

In terms of storytelling, excitement, and overall entertainment value, "Blacklight" is a black hole.

An unnecessary extra chapter for a story that had already lasted too long.

For fans of the series, it’s a betrayal that deserves to be ignored and forgotten as soon as possible.

Under Lester’s aegis, "Superman III" loses its identity, never emerging as a true superhero adventure or a full-blown parody.

A day-glo, forgettable rom-com demanding minimal attention that rewards those make it through the 90-minute brain-dead experience with the expected sappy ending.

An unfortunate example of what happens when the financial gains of a stand-alone film cause everyone involved to envision a franchise-in-the-making.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Profanity)

The "plot" is just an excuse to present long, lovingly-filmed instances of sadism and torture.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence)
Genre: Action/Comedy

There are indications the filmmakers think they’re operating in the realm of satire but the movie gets lost in action/thriller territory that’s anything but thrilling.

MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence, Profanity)

A tedious, overlong embarrassment that not even Liam Neeson’s craggy countenance can save.
