Re: MMS200 - Man of Steel: Superman Collectible Figure
Can someone put me down for a cup of warm milk and a half eaten Custard Cream biscuit?
I also like the scene where it shows SM flying faster than a speeding bullet, on top of the museum. And the subtle little character reaction by Brandon Routh after SM is 'shot' in the eye.
Listen folks, given the times they were made, these are all defining Superman movies....
The Reeve movies gave a believable Superman and it was a film with its heart in the right place, with FX work indicative of its time, and with declining quality as the series progressed (even as a fan of them, this cannot be denied).
Bryan Singer gave us a complex character study of how a godlike figure tries to fit back into a society that has moved on without him. This was the first film that had the potential to really show what Superman could on film, but was bogged down with its overly emotional story telling.
Man Of Steel was the first film to fully show the world that Superman on film can be a totally bad arse BOSS of a character, and presented the kind of action that we'd been waiting for since Chris Reeve put on the costume in the 70s. And as I said before, it only needs a few, a very few, little tweaks to the sequel to make it a brilliant SM movie that will please the unquestionably vast majority, which this one clearly has not.
But it's not far off. I guess the thing that you can universally say about the filmed versions of Superman is...that they are all good in certain ways, but they are certainly all flawed.

I am 5 hours ahead of you then, it's a shade off midnight here.
