Who saw this in cinemas back in 83?

Who saw this back in the day? What were your memories - the anticipation of seeing it in the weeks/days before, the actually seeing it and how much a big deal was it where you were back then, the crowds, audience etc and after coming out of the cinema what were your thoughts and in the days/weeks that followed..


I first learned about SIII when i saw the trailer before Return of the Jedi and for the rest of the confusing Indiana Jones starring muppets/teddybears/humans sword & sorcery space movie (Jedi was the first SW film i had seen) i thought only of Superman III (I had been wowed by SII just 2 years before. my first cinema experience)

I clearly remember being taken to see it at my local - being at the popcorn foyer, seeing the cinema poster on the walls http://thumbs1.picclick.com/d/l400/pict/360286396552_/SUPERMAN-3-ORIGINAL-CINEMA-UK-QUAD-POSTER-1983.jpg buying the fold out poster magazine, DC comic, and one of several badges

(and later would get the novel)

as for the movie - I remember i was pretty scared the bad superman (in a similar way the way i was scared of the T800 Arnold when i first saw Terminator as a kid) I was convinced hed been played by another actor and demanded to know who had played evil superman on the way back home 
