Man of Steel (SPOILERS)

[thenammagazine]

Dunno if I'd even bother watching a download. I'm sure I'll see it again at some point but sadly I feel no particular rush, so underwhelming was this film. I didn't go into it wanting to feel this way. The film did that all on its own.

That's where I was. I went in based on the hype, expecting to see the Superman movie I'd always wanted to see... to get Hopeman callously slaughtering thousands in his attempt to beat Zod and his faction into submission.

Again, last night, I was reminded of his stupid decision to take on the terraformer isolated in the middle of the ocean first, leaving the US army to take on the one in Metropolis while fighting off the Kryptonians as thousands die in the collateral damage. It made zero ****ing sense as any reasonable choice for Superman.

I tried to convince myself that he allowed millions to die to save billions.

Nah, the movie just sucks.

Superman would make a good FBI Agent in Die Hard.

"You destroy the terraforming machine, then come back and destroy half the city. We lose five, ten million civilians tops."

"I can live with that..."

Bluper-man.

MOS Superman would be a good Joker, all he needs is face paint and a personality.

Depends. Nolan just needed a crackwhore with acting chops.

 

[DiFabio]

MoS Superman had a higher body count and damage to the city than Nicholson and Ledger Joker combined.

.....a crackwhore with acting chops.

You don't think that that's a little....harsh? I mean, the poor fella's dead and not here/able to defend himself.

 

[EVILFACE]

Chip count shows how honest Superman is.

I don't think Nam meant Ledger was a crack whore. I think he meant that the Joker in Dark Knight looked like one.

True, he was a regular board member prior to his passing and no doubt would have taken the time to post a thing or two to nam if he still had the chance.

 

[GasparZizou]

he did look like Wendy from Breaking Bad, but he was one hell of a Joker.

 

[Rorywan]

I was thinking that too. Do they have to extract it from millions of cells? Are there only a small of kryptonians in his blood? Dunno.

I don't think the writer and director actually knew what DNA is, but they were too embarrassed to ask someone.

 

[DiFabio]

Joker didn't drink root beer, he ate shrimp.

If the performance was all his, I might agree. But make-up aside, physically and verbally, he basically impersonated Tom Waits, which diluted any real performance.

[Sachiel]

Yeah well Jack Nicholson impersonated Jack Nicholson in Joker make-up.

 

[CelticPredator]

But he was so awesome at doing it.

 

[GasparZizou]

So was Ledger.
