Here are a couple of articles from the
Tulsa World,
in re Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.
Yup,
Star Trek III beat
Indian Jones and the Temple of Doom in box-office biz. Paramount was happy to own both of them, you bet. The above ticket-sales report is from the June 4, 1984
World.
This review is from the June 7
World, I do agree with the reviewer that this film has a slower pace than
II, but still much more romping and jumpin' about than
The Motion Picture!
My biggest bone to pick with STIII is the casting of Kruge. Christopher Lloyd cannot be mistaken for anybody else. Certainly not a Klingon. It's Christopher Lloyd in a bunch of makeup.
I really do enjoy and appreciate the Space Opera tone of the film. In this case, Space Opera is not cheese, but grandiloquent.
What do you think? See you Monday for our final installment in TREKKING WITH CLIPPINGS!
