Superman just might suck!!

i hate it when critics give bad reviews to a good movie, so thats what i'm attributing this to. though there's always that chance that it will suck...
 
its not really a review review, its just one of his daily articles/blog things. so no, u aren't going to get a clever little essay on it.
 
dude, its not a review article of superman alone, thats why it goes into other things. its an industry blog, so he gets into other issues besides the single film in question. and yes he tends to hold back if its the films not out for general audience yet.
 
i actually think the new superman looks pretty dumb. he looks like such a homo too

(no i didnt read the article)

I never accept nor respect the opinion of anyone who writes a "blog". He's just someone who can't hack it as a real movie critic and a "blog" gives him the illusion of having an opinion that matters or counts.

Bloggers can suck my @ss.
 
I have become increasingly convinced that the closer a person is to this industry the more jaded or self-delusional they become.

Not every movie is fvcking Casablanca, ET, Citizen Kane, or the Godfather. People who have been doing this stuff for a while tend to lose sight of the actual aim which is to entertain or tell a story to the general population not have a bunch of film students wanking off to the film because it is so great.

That is not to say that some horrendously bad films aren't made. The studios manage to green light some stuff that would make me jump up on the table and strangle the person responsible by their $300 tie if I was a major shareholder. Stealth comes to mind as one of the worst ideas of recent years. I mean did anyone at Sony actually read that tired, used up, badly clichéd and woefully predictable script before spending a few hundred million on it? Gah.

ugh, he's involved in film festivals and stuff i have no idea. anyways we'll see how it turns out in a week. and no, he's not a pretentious twat with hifalutin tastes or whatever. he likes good fun movies that don't involve oscar bait performances so don't think he's like that.

 
I still don't see Superman when I look at this Routh guy. I could look at Reeves in Superman I & II and see Superman. I can even look at what's his face in Smallville and see a young Superman. I just don't see Routh as Superman.

Now I can definitely see Spacey as Lex Luthor though.
 
When the teaser came out, I was enthralled. When the trailer came out, I was devastated. This is yet another tongue-and-cheek superhero movie. Is it that difficult to make a serious superhero film? The cartoon versions of these characters are more enlightening than the recent silver screen incarnations. I suppose the brain-dead can?t take on anything more than overtly good guy versus total evil. And there were so many chances to make modern-day allusions.
 
What I don't understand is why so many people seem in awe of the original Superman and Superman II. Those movies weren't great by any means and if anyone was ever a stiffer actor than Reeve, I can't think of who that might be. They were popcorn flicks, very corny, and I expect this one will be much the same; I just hope it's not much worse than the original Superman movies.
 
I use this simple test:

Q: Is the movie based upon a comic book hero?
If yes: The movie will be sh!t.
If no: there's a chance it won't be sh!t.

I have to agree with you. People are are film critics are soooo out of touch with audiences. It's impossible for them to not be. They've watched so many films that their standards have become impossibly high. They've seen so many premises that they become novelty seeking and don't realize that what's a rehash for them is original for most people.

Maybe it was just the filters of originally seeing the movie as a kid. I enjoyed Superman I & II (with II clearly being the best). No, they weren't the best films ever made but they were enjoyable to watch.

III & IV can DIAF as far as I'm concerned....those were just awful.
 
I don't even know why anyone is excited about this movie in the first place. Its a standard, late to the game cash-in-on-whats-so-hot-right-now that also happens to be yet another sequel. That and superman totally sucks ass. He's the most boring super hero ever. He's invincible, super fast, can fly, can go into outer space, has x ray vision, ice breath and can shoot lasers out his god damn eyes. Am I the only one who isn't the least bit excited about about watching a guy who only has to roll out of god damn bed to save the world? His only weakness is an extremely scarce green space rock that some how plot devices its way into the movies, and his arch nemesis is some spoiled rich guy with a bad case of male pattern baldness and no super powers whatsoever.

The movie would be better if it featured superman tossing the whitehouse into the sun, raping louis lane and brain melting anyone who tried to stop him. At least it'd be some new material.

And buy a god damn suit that some one besides a color blind ice skater would wear.
