Some of my complaints are probably weird.

Spoiler for Hidden:
The movie feels weirdly segmented to me. <br><br>Like there&#39;s a whole montage of Superman helping people. And it makes it feel like Superman just randomly went on a spree of helping people, as opposed to it being something he just does.&nbsp;<br><br>There&#39;s also a few things that feel like weird jumps. Like it feels like Lois has love at first sight with Superman, which I&#39;m not sure that I like.<br><br>And Luthor just surmises that there was a meteor, and that there is a substance poisonous to Superman, based on completely nothing.&nbsp; <br><br>And there&#39;s no challenge for Superman, it feels kind of deus ex machina, with Luthor&#39;s assistant saving Superman. Like the only challenge for him, is the few moments before the assistant has a change in heart.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>

Last I saw it crashed and burned, still true?

Edt wowy fudger, $147 mil world wide.

Burned in hell and kept going lower.

Was just looking at that. 

Seems like a mid movie, but still surprising that it did so poorly.

I kind of feel like / maybe moreso hoping that I will enjoy Superman even more when I get to see it again.  

A lot of the Guy Gardner scenes are so great.

I watched this movie Detachment (2011). 

Imdb - 7.7

It's a bizarre movie. 

It feels like they set out to make a fake documentary about a rough school, but then liked Adrien Brody so much that 80% of the movie is centered on him.

I haven't seen it. For some reason it made me think of Splice though  :P



I watched Thunderbolts. Kinda hated it. Bob was cool until it all became standard no consequences Marvel.

I'm a big fan of the Emperor's New Groove.

The red underwear on supermans is suit is ridiculous and looks ridiculous. And what's more ludicrous is fans insisting on it just because it's in the comics. 

It's a bad design, and the movies shouldn't use a bad design just because it's in the comics. The comics aren't gospel.

Wrong thread ;)

They argued that the ridiculousness is intentional. Superman is basically a god who can destroy everything if he wanted to, and the underwear looks silly and disarming to contrast that.

Yeah I just saw that and that's why I posted this actually. It's still dumb and looks ridiculous, they could have done that in other ways. It's just a horrible looking suit

the-pi-guy

I don't have strong feelings about it (other than I think something needs to break up the blue).

Yeah weird justification.

Have yet to see the movie, if it looks good then great. But very silly to say that they purposefully made him look bad to contrast how powerful he is. Give him a clown nose too then.
