All I can think is LMAO. Please let this genre die unless Christopher Nolan picks it up again (he will never). I want to see how bad this film does. If it succeeds it will be because our society is completely brain dead.

This review from Forbes is scathing. He says positive things about a couple of films that I thought were trash, mainly Sinners. I saw a lil bit of it on Max recently and laughed at how bad it was.

So much money spent on everything but a good script.

That statement from this review seems to sum up 95% of the big budget movies these days...

The Christopher Reeve Superman movies were on last night and I watched the end of I and half of II. So dated and hokey yet still so fun to watch.

THAT is Superman to me, all the rest are Superman-ish

Christopher Reeve will always be Superman just as Michael Keaton will always be Batman to me.

Stopped watching after the Chris Reeve's ersion decades back.

I consider them to be legitimately good versions of the characters and loved seeing Keaton reprise the role in The Flash, but Cavill and Bale knocked the characters out of the park.

The only reason I'll end up seeing this movie when it comes out online is for Nathan Fillion's character.

These actors and directors can’t keep their mouths shut. You would think as the co-head of DC he would know better.

James Gunn Faces Backlash

It's possible Gunn thought the market was soft, and he triggered this to get some sort of controversy going so that one group would support his movie by buying tickets, even if they weren't originally interested in the subject matter. Better that a controversy contribute to the failure of his movie, than his movie failing just because it was more feminist propaganda.

I heard, once again, besides the movie being bloated with way too many storylines, and undercutting of it's serious scenes, the women are essentially faultless in the movie with the men being emotionally very weak.

Still watch those two, usually once a piece, every 12-24 months. Hokey, sure, but both stand the test of time. From Clark running along side the train in I as a high schooler, and Terence Stamp nailing General Zod in II. Excellent films in my book. Wholesome maybe hokey, but hokey can still be good. Rudy was hokey as fuck, but I still love the film. Rudy, Rudy, Rudy! Even Vince Vaughan “Lets get a score for Rudy!”.

And yes, Reeves will always be my Superman. Cavill’s first movie as the character wasn’t bad, and Diane Lane ain’t fooling me as no Grandma character. She has always been stunning. And I really liked Zod’s female #1 in that version. She was hardcore bitch, in a good way. Decent film, and a worthy successor. Fuck the rest of these things. This latest one, even from the trailers, looks, in Charles Barkley voice “aw-ful”.

If James Gunn wanted to do this right, he should have either adapted J. Michael Straczynski's Superman: Year One which is a "modern day" Superman origin story done right (with only 2 things grabbed for Man Of Steel), or if you're going to junk it up with multiple characters, then Joe Kelly's Superman vs The Elite/"What's So Funny About Truth, Justice, and the American Way?" is a much better starting point.

This was also the nice review I found, but for the most part without spoilers, it look like James Gunn adapted everything else EXCEPT Superman for his Superman movie.

I saw it today and thought it was a great Superman movie. Hope, love, determination, and above all else helping those in desperate need that can't help themselves were featured throughout. And if you're a dog guy like me, Krypto steals the whole damn movie.

I always wait until I have seen a movie to pass judgement but this looks good. I am easily entertained and don't look for reasons to piss all over it.
