Guys, Dean Caine is loopy. His is not a voice to trust. |
Exactly. |
Well, I disagree. Henry Cavill is better looking than Reeves, whose lips were too thin, and eyes too small to be really good looking. Cavill has a much more chiseled defined face. Reeves features were to pointy. -54 yr old woman And yes, I realize that I am objectifying a dead man. |
WSJ liked it. See today's WSJ..reviewed by Be.Fritz@wsj.com |
The hero being beat up on and then winning in the end is actually very American, or used to be. Everyone likes the story of the underdog. Americans are obsessed with "we are the best, and can beat up anyone". That's not interesting, or a good look. Even in the Avengers movie, they get beat up on in the beginning. That's the whole point of movies. A superhero always winning is a boring movie. The midwest parents being mocked is a stereotype, to be sure, but doesn't MAGA stereotype all Californians as uber liberals or Hollyood types, even though the vast majority of Californians are not Hollywood types, and a significant number of them voted R? Superman is an immigrant. You do realize that he was not born in the US, and he didn't have papers, right? So, he was a actually an illegal alien. |
Pass.
Sick of animated figures sci fi non-action action movies. Would rather watch F1 or mission impossible again. And the lead actors do their own stunts not CGI. |
He is a Princeton Grad and also a prdduxter/acgor. He is not loopy. |
They took truth justice and the American way out. That is woke. Very Woke. The producer is super liberal and there is no denying that. Hollywood has to stop treating public like naughty kids. Sheesh. |
We have different preferences. Which is fine. There is just something about HC that doesn’t appeal to me. I can’t explain it. Just like I’m not into Pedro Pascal lookswise (although I do like a lot of other stuff about him). We’re all allowed our preferences |
You're an old fart. They haven't used that line in years. |
This PP gets it. Part of the problem with Superman is that he has gotten so powerful over the years, that is hard to make interesting stories. He’s essentially a god. Superman Man of Steel addresses this by making the villain other kryptonians, bvs makes the bizarro/doomesday, and then JL he’s mostly dead until he fights a New God. So if you are making a Superman movie, it’s all about the villain. I think they also de powered him a bit here, for narrative effect. Lex is always entertaining when given the right tools — but even then they pull in an Ultraman/Bizarro super powered individual (the black suited guy). The story is very boring if he flys in and wins in act I. You need stakes and tension. |
Yep. Not woke. Not even in the original comic. They changed it when these superhero movies reached global markets . that's not woke. That's capitalism. |
I loved Lois and Clark and I'm sure he was very intelligent and talented, but look up his recent statements. Loopy. |
+1 Seriously if you find yourself thinking the Empire has some good points, you may be the bad guy. |
Awwww... Did you just duck duck go that so you can participate in the discussion? I know you misunderstood. "According to Rotten Tomatoes, Superman is sporting a "fresh" rating as of this writing, with 82% of critics giving it a positive review. 231 critics have rated it "fresh," while 51 consider it "rotten."" https://www.mensjournal.com/entertainment/early-rotten-tomatoes-scores-superman-movie-are-in |
