Superman Returns Official Rate and Review Superman Returns thread!!!

[kal-el2006]

"And when, at the end of the screening, the audience began to cheer, they were not just cheering Mr. Singer's fine film, but the legend itself, made up of their memories, their nostalgia, the stories they grew up with, the well-thumbed comic books, the courage of Reeve, that heartland ideal, and so, so much more, not least the fact that, at the conclusion of this movie, Superman promises that he'll "always" be around."

gotta love that

 

[Naite22]

Naite, looks like you are becoming hater, aren't you?

Oh no, I'm just, well sad, cause a lot of reviews are now saying some really irritating ****.. and by that I mean that it does get to me, even though I dont want it too.. It seemed that in the begining, the reviews were over the top positive!... now, the closer we get to the official release, more and more who's seen advanced/special screenings of this film, are saying stuff that brings me down! And I truely dont want it to, believe me, but I can't help but to let it get to me... I've been a suporter for this film from the get-go, I was so exited (and still am), yet these negative reviews are saying stuff that looks to hurt the movie in many aspects... for instence, they say that the film rushes very very quickly forwards from the get-go, and that we hardly get to see how Clark really feels lost, ones he comes back to the farm.. they also say that the films pacing is off in points, and that it's too long (of course others say it's too short)... and then this thing about the last 20 minutes that's surposedly dragging it quite a bit. and some say that Clark doesn't have that much screen time etc...

Just 4 days ago, I was sooooo HYPED to see this film. I had never been that hyped for a movie in my entire life, and I still WANT to feel that way.. And it's ****ing killing me that I read all of this ****, on-line now!!! I really feel sad, cause I'm more afraid to watch the film now, than I was nervous, like before.. I want this film to succeed on every aspect, but now I feel kind of a sadness building up inside.. and you all may find me a dweep, and an idiot for letting all of this get to me, but I just can't help it

Way too emotional. Maybe you should join Kryptonsite.

 

[J.Howlett]

Naite,

You do remember that all of those reviews are just opinions. Yours is just as valid as theirs. When you see the film, you might actually think that all these negative aspects others see are actually wrong in your eyes.

Everything is subjective. Remain hyped for the film. I know I am and I have a very critical eye....

 

[Kane]

And Naite, you should take a look at some of the dumb statements and failures in logic made in some of these negative reviews. Some of them are almost laughable that you shouldnt even take them seriously.

 

[LadyVader]

Besides, if the movie is bad, then it was bad before you read the reviews and it's still bad now. The movie hasn't and won't change. Only your feelings are subject to change, and you are the only one in control of your feelings so
BE A MAN!!!

(or woman, as the case may be)

The speroforum review is made probably by a nazist.

Of course, Singer doesn’t seem to direct men and heroes any differently than so many other current Hollywood auteurs do, so that any implication that his sexual deviancy produces weak and weepy male characters does not stand up to scrutiny given the feminization of the Los Angeles male in general.

Honestly, this Sperforum review is just disgusting and this is a commonality over all the negative reviews: they take jabs at the director's sexuality, seuxality in general.

lol Ya I'm starting to believe the later about him.


I dont understand the issue with the Cuts, its all on the 3 hour DVD version and I consider that the definative version of the film.

The movie is already very long as is, it needed to be trimmed down in order to fly with mainstream audiences.

Ya Ive noticed the majority of negative reviews are from some really messed up extremist individuals. They make alot of stupid statements like that.

It makes me think the critera to be a reviewer must not be too complex nowadays.

 

[Captain Truder]

May i ask what scenes do you guys think will be in 3D, the plane scene has got to be in 3D now there are 3 more

 

[Milkman95]

I'm seeing it in IMAX 3-D on opening day, this Wednesday evening, we'll see how good it is.

To have an over 80% at RT and the majority of the fans liking it, I still don't have any doubts that this will be a good re-introduction to the character. Putting Supervillains in his "Return" flick just wasn't the right way to go IMO, but in the sequel, it's the right thing to do and I'm sure we'll be seeing that in 2009.

I am sure you will like SR, dont worry, everything will be good.

Well im almost willing to bet one of the 3d scenes will be him lifting NK.

Spoiler

i mean it would be very plausible because you see him struggling very badly, and the krypotonite is coming out of the bottom towards him. ITs very emotional. I dont think i breathed through that whole scene well until he started falling. And that was only to hold my breath again

 

[Cinemaman]

So what happened with Official Review thread????

Spoiler

That to me is a much more powerful scene then the airplane one. He's lifting a whole island crying out loud. I suppose there could be questions like how could he do that if there was kryptonite around but I would say that at first he got supercharged with sunlight and when he began falling it was because he pretty much wasted it all, like that time he fought Doomsday.

 

[Captain Truder]

yeh but how does that scene look, i mean i would never imagine even superman lifting up a continent. do you think movie goers will look at it on screen and say thats stupid. I dont know its just i cant picture even superman lifting a huge thing like the new krypton

 

[Captain Truder]

i would like see doomsday in a superman movie cause he was like the only one to kill superman i think

 

[LadyVader]

Spoiler

I'd say it looks pretty good. It's a scene straight out of a comic book. I don't think people would say it's stupid. To me it reminds me of Spidey's train scene in Spiderman 2. Of course it is impossible for that to happen, but it looks so cool you believe it anyway.

spectacular. And hes superman i had no problem believing it. The raw determination. and of course he was supercharged b the sun.

 

[GarudA]

Why do most of the negative reviews attack the simple things like this ""Superman is such a paragon, how come he wants to save a species so universally dumb that not a single member of it recognizes him when he puts on a pair of glasses? "" and ""Whats more duller then a hero without flaws"

Do they not understand who superman is? if you take away these simple things like his powers, then you do not have Superman, you will end up with a totally different superhero. I just do not understand most of the reviewers, its like they are going in to see the movie and they have no idea of Supermans background, so they use the things they don't like about Superman to justify their negativity.

 

[LadyVader]

And I object. Humans are no dumber then kryptonians who didn't even realise their world was in danger... until their sun blew up.

"Supercharged by the sun" sounds ****ING AWESOME I LOVE YOU GUYS SUPERMAN HAS RETURNED

 

[RAMORE]

cool

 

[Captain Truder]

ok but something else is bothering me, the scene at the beginning where kal-el returns to the farm, he crashes in a ship, how does the average viewing audience view this, wont they say he whats going on here? didnt he already crash land in the first movie?
