Same.DanaS said:I enjoyed it, but it has a number of problems, I agree.
Not for the theme Singer was going for. If there were a new villain, (Darkseid, Zod or Mongul) dictating Earth, there would be a very real and large need for a Superman. The point of this story was to show a world that has moved on, and that thought that they did not need a Superman. This would be so that when he sacrificed himself, winning back their approval the "fall back to Earth" scene would be even more powerful. It was.This movie should of had a super villain that was in the first half of the movie.With Superman gone,this villain could of been a dictator making the planet hell on earth for everyone all those years.
It would of gave us a new villain,plus lots more & better action.Lex was awesome in the last half of the movie,but the first half of the movie felt like it was missing something,and this is where this new super villain could of been perfect for.
damn. why did you wrotte this? i tihnk this is the first time that i hope that hte haters would jump on someone and start to kick hes ass.Not for the theme Singer was going for.

I'm now considering to sell my DVD
Singer made it clear that there won't be a extended version or a Director's Cut because he believes that the movie he edited is the director's cut.Finally got the special edition with the fold out cover from Best Buy. The making of stuff is really good, it's a shame there's not more on effects, editing and music but the on the ground while they are shooting stuff is pretty good. Spacey - so are we going to talk about it all day are we going to shoot the ******* thing! The deleted scenes are really good, I would of included Clark reading all the newspapers with his x ray vision, I mean channel surfing? I can do that! I also would have left in are you two dating?
I'd like to watch this with the score only, to me every note of music is perfect, but disk one is pretty bare bones. I can't really compare color on the DVD to the cinema, I saw this at the cinema once, 6/28 in 3D Imax and was drunk out of my mind so any insight I could provide on color spectrums would be highly inaccurate. Maybe if I hated the movie I might of paid to see it 11 times, but I really liked it, dammit.
I noticed on the cover of the production design bible and the clapper boards for the film, they called the movie Red Son. I thought that was so ******* cool. I mean there are a billion rerefences they could of made to Superman and while they are shooting the movie they called it Red Son! **** yeah! I thought the shot of Kal-el in the silver suit walking on a piece of Krypton, or whatever it was looked awesome. I thought Perry White shaking Supe's hand so Jimmy can take their picture together was hilarious, they should have kept that in.
The shot of Daugherty or Harris reading The Making of Superman on the plane to Australia was awesome. I liked how Brandon's whole family saw him off at the airport and said all those nice things to the camera. It is so refreshing to see hearltand decency that's real, not scripted and being used to sell trucks.
No commentary from Singer, or anybody else, maybe on the extended DVD, whenever it gets here, Summer? 2008? 2009? I think TODAY would be good, but that's just me.
The cheat code for free roam Bizzaro in the SR game, first complete meteor madness and warworld, save and restart, at the main menu on the d pad its rapidly - up right down right up left down right up
If you watch after the credits of the last making of chapter there is a really cool bit of Brando footage that runs something like - to the virtuous spirit, there is no need for thanks or approval. All that is needed is the conviction that what has been done is right. Develop this conviction within yourself Kel-Al, or Kal-El, or Ralph, or whatever your name is. Then you can hear Donner cracking up.

Some good insights Armand and i agree with most of them. I have watched EVERYTHING on the DVD now and think its a nice little package, but i also hope a special edition comes out with more extra's and some more deleted scene's we know about.
BUT, the movie is awesome, and i simply cant stop watching it!!!!!
Me too! I can't stop watching the thing. I recently saw Fearless with Jet Li, very nice, the whole mind body and spirit matrix thing I'm into. I saw Crank, you'd love it; demented Englishman tears up Los Angeles. I watched the new epsiodes of 24 last night, thought it was great, as soon as Kal Penn came on I was like there is no escape! I just keep going back and watching SR, that's probably why I haven't posted in Final Thoughts, I haven't finished yet!
