Yeah if you lived next door to a mediocre redhead who overacts every seen. [/quote]
WOW…

You people obviously do not get as horny over redheads as I do.[/quote]

You are still dead to me or did you forget? You’re last statement only furthers it.

In hollywood always beware if they arent a ginger. Most daywalkers are fake.

Superman is able to shave by using his heat vision. I imagine that he could attempt to do the same to cut his hair, or possibly use Kryptonian metal, as I believe that would suffice. Materials from Krypton take on a completely different nature whilst on Earth. I think that explains why the suit was able to survive when normal clothes wouldn’t have. There is some inherent quality that the suit possesses that accounts for the durability. Or, it could just be the “force-field” that Superman emits encompassing his suit, although they didn’t even touch on that in the movie.

You think missiles are stronger than Super powered Kryptonian steroid heat vision?

Please.

By “girl next door” I meant “completely average looking”.

It was good, but I think they should have cast someone else to play Zod. The guy who did play him just looks weird for some reason.

Also, if anyone wants to see some his Superman’s training, take a look here…

The Daily Mail is a joke.

I agree. I think Amy Adams is hot. Much better looking than that chick from Superman Returns who plays Lois Lane.

I had such high hopes for this movie, being a Zach Snyder and Christopher Nolan project I really thought they would nail this and establish this as a great franchise along the lines of the latest Batman trilogy. Sadly, this will most certainly not be the case.

I thought the movie was pretty bad from a story/script perspective. Terrible actually. Visually it was about as a good as CGI-Porn gets, but this was greatly overshadowed by the lackluster story for me. I walked out of the theater wishing I could have gotten my money back.

The plot was as cliche and predictable as could possibly be, and the acting, story, and dialogue for Zod was terrible the entire way through. Distractingly bad.

I didn’t think there was any depth to any of the characters except Clark’s dad, who we see for all of 5 minutes in the movie. I felt that they really missed a great opportunity here to delve further into the relationship between Clark, his dad, and the whole “if people find out who you are they will reject you” idea. Instead… As soon as they find out who he is, they embrace him right away. So that entire plot element, which was built up to be the MAIN idea of the movie, vanishes in a second.

The fight scenes were beyond boring because they established early on that punching and hitting Superman and Zod does nothing to them… and then they

proceed to have them punch and hit each other for 10 minutes at a time. Again, it LOOKED amazing, but there was no sense that Superman had anything to lose. Ever.

In fact, There was NO sense of urgency or danger the entire length of the film. You know EXACTLY what is going to happen, when it is going to happen, and how they are going to deal with it.

Wait for it to hit your local dollar theater, See a Matinee, or rent it when it comes out later. I wouldn’t recommend paying full price for this movie.[/quote]

I agree with you.

The amount of punching through buildings was to me way too much. Including the fight with the new Non and Ursa in the streets of Smallville then you get a good 30 minutes of Transformers-level mind-numbing fighting. I guess people that play video games will be used to this sort of thing, but I needed more variety, and even then, the fight doesn’t need to be that long.

I never would have imagined there’d be a Superman movie where’d I’d enjoy all the parts where he’s Clark more than the parts where he’s Superman.
And there’s not one single funny thing in the whole movie.[/quote]

:slight_smile:
Hey Nards, what Was the name of that movie that had the Longest Fight Scene in Movie History? For the life of me I can’t seem to remember :slight_smile:

[/quote]

Ha! Well it used to be They Live…but not anymore!

Also I’ve heard that thing about “there were no funny parts” a bunch of places. I never even thought about that until other people started mentioning it. Who says there have to be funny parts? I dunno it just never bothered me I guess. I didn’t go to that movie for yucks.[/quote]

Cant argue with you there :wink:

I dont know what it was about this movie, as I have heard many valid points about my critiques and now agree with them. For some reason, for me, the sum was worse than the whole of the parts.

I really enjoyed Star Trek so I’m not immune the Summer Blockbuster type of stuff, this movie was just a swing and a miss for me.[/quote]

I agree again.
Though I may have liked the Clark bits more than you did.

I got a little choked up when the fat redhead kid helped him up after the football players bullied Clark.

Oh, and I didn’t say the movie had to be a laff fest…but the only part that provided a chuckle was what he did to that trucker’s truck…even thogh I saw it coming and thought it would be funnier if the guy came outside and his truck was crumpled into a ball.

To me Michael Shannon (Zod) looks like the perfect farmer. I can see him with a piece of hay sticking out of the corner of his mouth.

Not Emma Stone too… Oh God…

SPOILER

The last fight scene

76

I would like to get a timing on the last fight scene (not including the fight with the female Kryptonian in Smallville) as I keep thinking it was 20 minutes but that can’t be right.

77

So nobody here thought the two female baddies were hot?

Basically the entire last half of the movie was “that fight scene”.

The biggest laughs in the showing I sat through were from that female captain/ amateur comedienne who said that supes is “kinda hot” - which isn’t funny at all, really, but the audience was still rolling in the aisles. It annoyed me, but characters who heckle their own movies seem to stop the audience from doing it, so I’m willing to put up with anti-humor if the running commentary is left for the DVD.

I loved the movie, made a character I (as a comic fan) don’t usually care about interesting to me, and has convinced me to read some more DC stuff other then just Batman.

SPOILER

What do ya’ll think about the ‘open’ pod that was on the Kryptonian craft Clark found? There was the one dead body, but one pod was open. Supergirl?
