O yes the week has finally dawned upon us. These forums will soon eat each other. Black and blue, nerd vs critic, day vs night. The butt hurt is coming! The butt hurt is coming!
 
Superman Returns was fine, inoffensive and fairly forgettable. It didn't make a big impact on me and I not pan on watching it gain, mostly cause I hated Spacey in tht movie. It was fluff. MOS "looked" really good, so good I almost made a blind buy of it. Perhaps part of the reason I hate it so is because I feel it had potential tht it came nowhere near living up to. Snyder has impressive visual flair, but he falls far short as a Director in other areas. He should just be a cinematographer.

X3 I hated, bad all the way around, in my eyes.

DOFP I liked as much as X2, maybe more. I saw the whole end retconning thing as an interesting opportunity.
I agree with you about Superman Returns.. About as forgettable as they come.


I also really hate MOS... For me it's just not a very well done film. I thought the first hour was fine and enjoyed scenes like the oil rig rescue and school bus rescue. Then Zod showed up and it Smallville fight was pretty good and then the film fell apart. So much action and it actually got boring. World Builder machine was stupid and leveling the city was just too much... None of the characters were very well done. it was really just a big mess..

I am holding out hope for BvS but I am worried about it.
 
I was disappointed with TDKR so count me as well.[emoji6]

It did...but so did TDKR. Again, only a few people here don't like it :lol

Count me in the "I don't like TDKR" camp. It's not that it's awful. But IMO it sort of ruined the other two films. I just got done showing them to my 10 year old and he loved the first two. He watched the third one and even commented himself that "That one kinda ruins the other two.... Batman was only Batman for like two years" I found that funny because it's how I feel about the film.. I really felt that BB and TDK nailed the Batman/Bruce Wayne character... I thought TDKR ruined a lot of that. Still a watchable film IMO.. Unlike MOS. :)

This man of steel hate is purely generated by Fan boys who can not stand any deviation from the source material. It's not surprise that shows like arrow and flash get all sorts of praise when yet if those shows were on any other network they would have been canceled long ago. The teen angst and cheesy acting and melodramatic story lines so suffocating and yet fans like it why because Flash's suit is just like the comic book. What a joke .

You gotta open your mind a bit Moose. It's possible that some people did not like it just because they found it too be a good film... I guess I could say in retort that Fan of MOS only like it because they like big explosions and only care about spectacle and have no regard for character or good story telling. But that would be very closed minded of me also.

This I agree with. MOS was OK, started of very strong and lost its way in over produced WAAAAY too long fight scenes.

That's pretty much my fear with this one. I really do not want to see 1 hour of actual plot and character development, and 1 and 1/2 hours of Rock Em Sock Em Robots....

Well I guess the *rave* tweets are due any minute, followed by moronic bloggers. It will take a few days to actually see what the reaction is to the movie, good or bad.

This thread though. :lol
The rave tweets are already out. they are saying Wonder women is the best and the fight is really good. But then they had rave tweets about Fant4stic soooooo........ yea.
 
I like MOS. I think the film is very good. The Reeve films are ok. I do not care for the bumbling, clumsy Clark. It always annoyed me. I grew up preferring Dean Cain's confident Clark. MOS reminds me a great deal of Superman: Earth One, which I love. But to each their own.

I am excited to see BvS. I get to see it tonight. I hope the film lives up to my expectations. I am not going into this hoping for the greatest comic book film of all time. I just want an entertaining film and the next positive step for the DCEU.
 
Also, this is definitely one of those movies where the score/soundtrack is instantly awesome after you watch it. You'll come out wanting to listen to it in your car. Especially "Beautiful Lie".
 
Personally, I've always loved bumbling Clark, because, for me, that's the only way I could see the glasses potentially working as a disguise. My favorite version is probably All-Star, where Clark is just this slovenly, clutzy oaf. He's still a competent reporter, but he becomes another person, almost.

Personally, though, I like a combination of the two, and I think it's a lot like Batman, in a way. You have the public persona, the private persona, and the alter ego. Bumbling Clark Kent is the front he puts up for people, while Superman is the embodiment of his Kryptonian heritage/the icon that people look up to, but, ultimately, when he comes home from work and he hangs up the tights, he's a good-natured farmboy from Kansas.

I started listening to it on Spotify and had to shut it off, because I was imagining it juxtaposed against the WB/DC logos and I didn't want to ruin the experience.:lol

It's a tremendous track, i was just listening to it this morning.
 
I get that. I guess that's why I like Superman: Earth One. Ma Kent makes it clear that the mask he will wear will have to be Clark. And that he can only be truly himself when he is Superman or in private. I like All-Star, but that version of Clark kind of bothered me. But Morrison is a huge fan of older stuff, so I understood it. I think the glasses work, because people don't want to believe that a god would want to be anything else. We wish to be more like him, why would he ever want to be one of us? So to me the glasses work because no one believes Superman is the guy sitting next to them on the bus. Why take the bus when you can fly?
