Like any good comic book-movie fan who hated it, I'm seeing it for a third time tomorrow!
To be far, I don't love this movie. I don't think it's a genuinely good or satisfying movie on any level and as a Superman fan, I hate how ultimately bleak its message is. But I thought it had some a'ight aspects, and was well cast. Enough for me to go again with a friend who hasn't seen it before (and because it's funner to talk **** with people who've actually seen it.)
Well, to be fair Oscorp did say "most of em". That doesn't mean all.
You really think that the "blatantly obvious" explanation for a tanker truck impaled by poles is to assume that one man did it with his bare hands?
I noticed Lois took pics herself, I thought that was odd.
You can only defeat space terrorists by punching them until your problems go away.
And it's okay to tell the government to eat a **** when you want their trust.
Recently read an article about Jenny. Her full name is Jenny Jurwich as it turns out.
I don't think they handled the trust subplot all that well. They did show clearly that Superman was willing to act benevolently toward humans, but the way the humans responded after he brought down that surveillance drone made it seem as if all was good since it was such a light, easy-going scene. But really, at that point Superman should just be beginning to earn trust, and future films would need to better explore it. I thought a more appropriate response from the humans still should have been extreme caution and skepticism, considering they just have to take his word for it, and one series of actions helping to defeat Zod's force. But I guess they were trying to end the movie on a light note across the board.
By the way, was a good explanation given for why Jor-El merged that genetic coding into his son, apart from creating a plot device for Zod to want to seek him out for reasons other than revenge? I thought Jor-El thought the "old Krypton" needed to die? And it seems like he didn't explain to Kal-El that he did it or why he did it. So. . .what was he trying to do? He went to a lot of effort and took a lot of risks to do it. Seems like allowing Zod to have it would have been a better option if he really wanted to allow Krypton to continue on in some capacity. He may have wanted to be a dictator, but dictatorships come and go. The core of their society was not replaceable. . .but again, I thought Jor-El thought it needed to die, so. . . I just didn't understand what was going on there.
I was also confused.
One second the natural birth is important, trying to get away from genetic engineering and manipulation and the next second Jor-el is engineering and manipulating his son's body, wut.
Natural birth right out the window.
