BvS Henry Cavill IS Superman - Part 11

[SlamAdams]

I really don't see a big difference either way in Henry's size.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

You have to hold back a lot, don't you

Yes, yes I do.

 

[Daywalker89]

He is bigger but not by much.Still looks great though and am impressed with his dedication. He just fits everything i want in " my " Superman. Those pics with ramdom fans just highlights that type of " Everythings ok " presence. I just feel at ease when i look at him lol weird to explain, i just hope they brush up on superman's dialouge in this film. It was abit hit and mis in MOS.

When I was a kid watching superheroes, they didnt need muscle suits. But the suit looks good - I am glad they listened to all the criticisms and have made it more colorful. Also that they have covered up Cavill's chest more so we dont see the chest hair.

You're not making any sense here. First of all, many actors wore muscle suits back in the day. Even Christopher Reeve's costume was slightly padded in certain areas whether people choose to believe so or not. Secondly, are you being deliberately obtuse in suggesting that Cavill "needs" a muscle suit? Seriously? Very few would argue that his physique is more impressive than that of his predecessors in the role. Moreover, the use of muscle/definition suits in Snyder's films is clearly just a creative decision on the part of the director.

Cavill's hair, height, size and costume look great. Pay no attention to the detractors.

"Epic?" I have another word for that post but I'll get in trouble if I write it.

I was being sarcastic.

 

[KillerWolf]

I noticed that Cavill has 7% to 10% less chest hair than in MOS. This Superman sucks!

 

[Raelis Shae]

Also, the parting on that head is harsh

95% of what zryson says is intended to deride MOS, Cavill or anything to do with this production. He's just doing what he usually does, trying to get under people's skin. Of course, now that I've called him on it, I'm sure he'll give us one of those "Why are MOS fans always picking on me? Can't they see that the movie was universally hated?" posts.

From the fresh set pics...

What I like:
-Blue is clearly brighter. MoS' blue was kinda dull (still looked great in film)
-He looks significantly thicker all over. Wow, Superman is a tank.

What I don't like:
-The hair. Don't understand why they like it slicked back so much...MoS was bad enough and they went even farther with it.
-Smaller S shield
-Muscles look painted on...probably won't be a problem in film but the legs in particular look blech.


Overall....put this Superman next to Batfleck and visual ecstasy is already assured. Here's hoping the thrill of this movie goes deeper than just the visuals.

Love the sleeker looking hair. Makes him look more clean cut. Which I prefer.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I like that the hair is shorter but I agree, it doesn't need to be slicked back so much.

This Superman is AUTOMATIC
He's SYSTEMATIC
He's HYDROMATIC
Why he's GREASED LIGHTNING!!!!

Old HC is cutting a pretty imposing figure as the Man of Steel.

I reckon he'll be even better in the sequel, Andrew Garfield was better
as PP/SM in TASM 2, as he was more comfortable with the character.
I think Cavill will up his game (he was definitely good in MOS) but I
reckon that this film will put the doubters to rest.

I mean, he totally has the look (when he walked out in the suit for the first time in MOS I was like "yup, THAT's Superman." ) but hopefully this new story will allow him to develop the character a bit more.

cheers.

He is bigger but not by much.

I looked up a picture of him in the middle of filming MOS (Nov 2011) and a recent picture from the middle of filming BvS, and the difference seems kinda noticeable.

What doubters? Most people seem to have enjoyed his performance. He is the exact opposite of an underdog, despite what a (frankly) curiously high number of people would have you believe.

Actually I don't think Henry has been given his proper due for the performance he delivered as Superman. He does a lot of subtle non verbal acting and character moments while also having a regal commanding presence when needed. He also delivered lines like "Don't play games with me General" without a hint of self awareness or camp. He had a sternness and authority in his voice and when he spoke he seemed to demand respect while also conveying a warmth and compassion when he needed. He was very believable in terms of physicality as Superman and also played his emotions well. Particularly after he kills Zod you can feel his pain anguish and regret with that primal scream. He was fantastic. I'm hoping Dawn of Justice will really give him more to work with and am excited to see the interplay in his relationship with the Batman.

Not being given enough praise and appreciation is not the same as being given none at all.

 

[DaJanksta]

Hands down the best thing about MOS was Henry. He played the role flawless. I look forward to seeing him expand and become full fledged Superman as well as Daily Planet Clark Kent.

A summary of what I think of Henry in the BvS suit:

I want to do STUFF, THIIIIIINGS to that man.

Seriously those tree trunk thighs are stirring things inside.

 

[ArmsHeldOut]

Holy ****! Loca lives!

 

[Mrs. Wayne]

Dat bod though...it is mesmerizing.

 

[Lily Adler]

I've been here in spirit or ya know lurking. Seriously that man is delicious and I would do things to him that many would deem uncouth in this forum.

Control your thirst, LL.


Because he's mine.
