Man of Steel (SPOILERS)

Re: The Man of Steel

Routh was a great Super Girl.

What Brandon Routh did was excellent. But what he didn't do was play HIS version of Superman. He did an excellent Christopher Reeve impression, because the film was an overly heavy homage to the Donner movies - which sadly ended up playing against it...and him.

He would have been a brilliant Superman given a chance, but he was fighting that turgid script.

I have met Brandon a couple of times and his is a really decent young man, very much in the Reeve mold. It was no surprise the he beat Wentworth Miller (amongst others) for the part.

Routh hardly spoke as superman in that movie. Idk why, but you can infer that singer did not like his acting and did not want him speaking much. Seems like singer just wanted to stare at him in tights behind the camera while be had routh just stand there and stare back at him with strange body positioning and overt facial expressions. Almost seems like singer forgot he was making a movie (eg a photo shoot) anytime routh was in supes mode, and just stood their in awe of the dudes beauty. Hence routh goes down as the most feminine superman to date because of singers twisted mind and his unintentional homosexual overtones that were in the film. It should have been titled superman battles broke back mountain.


Rough should have ran for the hills during auditions when singer was most likely drooling over him and asking for extra time to see him in the suit

CR will forever be the best CK ever, none shall pass.

It was painful watching SR.

But what the hell, i'm willing to give him a chance.

That's why I'm glad they've decided to take it in a completely different direction, it seems.

Come on.. don't blame Routh - blame Singer!!!

Agreed. I think Routh could've been fine (albeit a little too "Reeve lite") had he been headlining a Superman movie that was his, rather than a two and a half hour fan film to what had come before.

Looks like a sequel for MOS is already being written/underway.

Re: The Man of Steel

Is that the jar from New Girl, or just a generic meme?

Man, that is one ****ing annoyingly-written article. I won't be upset if I don't read another from this "Caffeinated Clint."

Lol nk I linked the first one that popped up via Google search that had valid sources of the report. I was too lazy to filter thru the search results to link the original article I read.

Re: The Man of Steel

I actually kind of like that guy. He has good points; that being said, I think that Nolan has a lot more respect for the source material than Faraci gives him credit for. Even TDKR, the most divided of the three, has a certain level of reverence for the comics, albeit while telling a story that goes in a very different direction. From the Year One stuff in BB; hell, the inclusion of the obscure "Henri Ducard" character, and the way he integrated him into the tale; to the Long Halloween stuff in TDK, and all the way to the elements of Knightfall and The Dark Knight Returns in TDKR, I think it's a far cry to say that Nolan doesn't "care" for the source material. For the sake of this thread, let's leave it at that.

"It’s not nearly as dour and serious as the trailers suggest."

Just what I was hoping to hear!

Glad there's some action. Supes is in need of action.

Ya its slightly different report in terms of non warner screanings but writers these days copy and paste too much.

First time I heard of it, guess I forgot to look at the footnotes.

Saw the 2nd trailer in the theater for the first time (on Jack the Giant Slayer). Supes is my favorite comic character and I'm a fan of Snyder (sort of). I got chills at some parts. I like how they aren't afraid to steal ideas from other places - they use the crouch, build up power, launch into flight that was first on Smallville (and I thought it was really cool there too).
