Spidey what the HELL have I told you about doing that?! :argh:

Gall, I leave you people for ONE WEEK and this is what happens. :nono:



:hehe::awesome:

See what happens when you neglect your duties to the people?!? :argh:
 
What. The. Hell. Did I just walk into? :shock
 
You can't stop it, for every horny comment you combat a million more will take it's place.

I am a Sentinel. That is the purpose for which I registered with the Hype. And every action I take, no matter how violent, or cruel, is for the greater GOOD, of my posts. And now *lip quivers in rage* I have no posts.... My soul... THAT is what has been taken from me!!!! :argh:

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

Agreed. If I were to nitpick, I honestly didn't like Superman's hair in MOS. It looked a little too... 70's.
 
I guess the big question is this: How does Henry Cavill's performance as Superman compare to Christopher Reeve?
 
A lot of the negative reviews I've seen from mainstream film critics seem based on the fact that Henry just can't compare to Christopher Reeve. I'm not going to deny that Reeve's performance remains the standard - but it's time to move on. This is a Superman for a new generation.

I will say that Reeve absolutely nailed the traditional concept of Superman better than any other actor, in terms of being this wholesome throwback to '50s authority figures. Cavill didn't have that as much, but that's because the entire nature of his Superman was more angsty and self-doubting - and I would argue that that is in fact one of the strengths of his performance, since it clearly differentiates this Superman from previous interpretations.

I thought Henry was great. He had such authority, charm, likeability, and he was a badass. He's the Superman for the 21st century , just as Daniel Craig is the Bond for the 21st century. If one is looking for a Chris Reeve type Superman in MOS, then they're going to be disappointed because we're not in 1978 anymore.
