Henry Cavill IS Superman: - - - - - Part 14

[Lily Adler]

The whole oil rig scene was awesome, but the gratuitous, lingering shots of shirtless Cavill were on a whole 'nother level of epicness.

What did you ladies think of Cavill as Reporter Clark in the little glimpse that we got?

 

[ArmsHeldOut]

I was just thinking.. there are kind of interesting parallels between Henry Cavill and Hayley Atwell:
Both are British actors
Their names are kind of similar: Henry/Hayley Cavill/Atwell
Both are perceived by many as sex symbols
Both were teased as children for their weight with similar nicknames: "Fat Cavill" "Hayley Fatwell"
Both are in superhero movies centering on a heroic protagonist clad in red and blue garb

Even during my second viewing it was just too brief for me to judge. All I can judge is his look and the look was fine to me. He looks different enough with the glasses on.

Gawd at least Hayley's tormentors were much more clever.

I had a thought what if Joe had the role.

Tristan and Isolde was such a boring nothing of a movie. I watched it years ago because I thought Franco was hot and of course I didn't even notice or care about Cavill at the time. I like Franco and I agree with him about TASM and it's cute he liked MOS but MOS isn't about him, he needs to tone down the ego a little. He is a great actor when he tries though.

It's funny, but by the time I saw Tristan and Isolde, even though he hadn't been cast as Supes yet, Cavill still took all of my attention away from Franco in that movie. Even with that awful hair. I loved Franco in 127 Hours, but I thought he was extremely miscast in T&I.

I had a thought what if Joe had the role.

He was probably my #2 choice behind Cavill, but now having seen the movie, it's clear he was 100% wrong for this version/script.

Franco is mostly miscast period. But yes he was amazing in 127 Hours. I'm sure I noted Cavill attractiveness at the time but until Franco brought it up I didn't remember he and Cavill were co-stars. Cavill was not on my radar until someone started pimping him for Superman on these boards.

He was probably my #2 choice behind Cavill, but now having seen the movie, it's clear he was 100% wrong for this version/script.

I have nothing against Joe, maybe he would've been great for all I know but yeah Cavill deserved the role. Cavill brings a regality to Superman that I love.

Yeah, he can play nice but he's a little too beastly for my taste. I don't know about Supes having that much of an edge.

This haircut for the sequel, please:

Not a huge difference, but it's way better imo

 

[WarriorDreamer]

I wonder what the people who teased him are doing now. Probably very minimal wage jobs.

It's one of my favourite Superman scenes. And he looks great unkempt & it's cool to see him doing all the Superman stuff while looking nothing like Superman. I liked that this guy is more worried about saving people than concealing his identity. His face is out there right from the start of the film.

Not being hot, for one?

Haha, his school need to do a Before & After, Where are they now? documentary on Cavill & his bullies. Hahaha

Word.

 

[Andreth]

Oh man, I dislike Joe so much. I almost cried when I heard he was one of the finalists for Superman.
That was like my worst nightmare, but then Henry was cast and it was a wonderful day!

 

[Sawyer]

That sounds rational.

Though, granted, he's no Supes. Too savage looking, too animal. He could be a fantastic Sabretooth, though.

The casting directors had Superman in the room, Joe didn't stand a chance.

 

[MydnightPhoenix]

I am not yet convinced that Henry was indeed bigger than Christian. Please provide more visual evidence to convince me.

You people and your selfish desires.....

Um, can y'all hurry with the pictures please.
