Quick decision: X3 or Superman Returns?

[nogap87]

Then I don't see whay you wouldn't hate the X-movies.

The X-movies never had a smart ass six-year-old as a prominent character.

 

[Chris Wallace]

What Smart-@$$ 6 Year Old?

 

[nogap87]

What Smart-@$$ 6 Year Old?

Lois' kid.

 

[Chris Wallace]

Oh. I Didn't Know He Was Supposed To Be A Smart @$$.

 

[nogap87]

He's probably not as bad as I'm making him out to be. The only evidence I have is that he called LL bald. Its just that when he said that, he reminded me of that jerk wad kid from "Married with Children". I really hated that kid. I think his name was Seven.

 

[Superman \S/]

Sr!

 

[Capt. Jack]

X3 was more dissapointing that Batman & Robin not a worse film just more dissapointing cause at least with B&R you expected horrible things but X3 seemed to have a chance and then complete **** i have great faith in singer and i feel really good about Superman Returns being amazing so heres hope-ing

Please.

Batman & Robin is the crown of the crap about comicbook movies.

And because I need more words for this post, Bryan Singer sucks.

 

[jusblaze21]

^they were both completley dissapointing in my opinion. but X3 was the better film. I can't choose until i've seen SR. The Singer sucks comment was not needed by the way.

 

[GreenKToo]

supes,all the way.

 

[spideymusprime]

Superman Returns

 

[GL's Light]

 

[kedrell]

X3

Supes has always been too corny & ridiculous of a character for me to ever like. I swear that everyone in Metropolis must have brain damage not to realize the Clark is Superman. Glasses as a disguise? Yeah right.

 

[The Batman]

And you completely miss the point of why the disguise works. But thats ok! You're not the only person ignorant of the supes universe at SHH....

 

[Secret_Riddle]

well i think x3 sucked but even from before i saw x3 i wuda still chosen superman.

 

[CrypticOne]

X3. I like both, but X3 all the way.

 

[britrogue]

The Last Stand all the way

I'm about to really piss off some Supes fans.
Ths things I've seen lately, they look cool on the surface but they also look kinda stupid. The hail of bullets bouncing off Superman's chest. Ok-nice effect. But knowing that's what's going to happen-AS IS A LONG KNOWN & WELL-DOCUMENTED FACT-why shoot him? Why KEEP shooting him? Why not just surrender, since you can't win anyway? Supes flying in to save the day. Nice effect, but so what? Superman has been seen doing his thing 1,000,000 times & it's all pretty much the same. "Superman Returns" is a fitting title because it's just that; bringing back something we've all seen before. A hero with no physical limitations, confronting a villain who just can't bear his existence. It's redundant. You can't even feel that sense of "Is he gonna make it?" because barring the use of Kryptonite, there's no possibility of failure. The thrill of seeing superheroes in action is seeing them defy seemingly insurmountable odds & triumph. Where's the triumph when nothing can hurt you? The X-Men are fighting for survival, facing foes who can easily match, if not overcome their powers. The excitement level is exponentially higher.

 

[The Batman]

its nice to see that you've seen the film already, chris.

but whatever stupidity Sr has cant compare to the stupidity of X3.

Such as the gaping plothole of how warren got to alcatraz island so fast

such as letting a known terroist such as magneto walk

such as having wolverine, who needed five mintutes to heal from a bullet wound, suddenly heal rapidly when his ass is getting atomized

Such as having the dark freaking phoenix stand around and do nothing for most of the movie

Such as Storm talking about how theres nothing wrong with mutants, when theres a freaking blue guy and a girl who cant touch anyone in the room with her.

Such as saying Storm's the leader of the team, but having wolverine do most, if not all, of the leading

I know your immense bias for marvel will allow you to try and dispel these examples, because you think marvel can do no wrong, but anyone who can look at things objectively knows that stupidity was quite rampant in X3, so we cant fault SR for doing the same

 

[Cyclops]

There are two films this summer that have me excited. One is Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. The other is Superman Returns.

Even before X-Men came out, I was dreading the film more than anticipating it. Perhaps that influenced my dislike of the film, perhaps it didn't. I can't really say. But my Beatlemaniac sister said it best.

"I loved X-Men 3, but I can understand why you didn't. I'd be pissed off if I had to sit through a bastardized version of the Beatles."

And that's it. The X-Men were totally bastardized. A Dark Phoenix who was neither Dark nor Phoenix. A Storm who was nothing more than Halle Berry in a wig and did not exude any of the presence or power that Storm should exude. A Wolverine who breaks down and cries. Twice. A Cyclops who disappears and then unceremoniously dies offscreen. A Magneto who hams it up and devolves from the supervillain who cares about his people to a supervillain who will sacrifice whatever he can to get what he wants. A lame Juggernaut joke stolen from an Internet cartoon. A Colossus who was neither Piotr nor Rasputin. Sloppily written story with weak dialogue and clumsy pacing.

So what if Superman's doing the same stuff we've seen? At least then you can know that they'll be getting the character right, with special effects worthy of the powers they're representing. Plus... Kevin Spacey. Kevin mother****ing Spacey.

That last paragraph proves you know nothing about me. I have slammed Marvel repeatedly for their misdeeds & continue to do so.
I won't touch on most of your comments, because many of them fall under the header of discussion board nitpicking, right up there with "If the Jedi have been dead for 20 years, why does the Rebel Commander tell the fleet 'May The Force Be With You' before the assault on the Death Star?"
Plus, you're likely to dismiss just about any defense I can offer, except:
I don't think anyone LET Magneto go anywhere; it seemed to me that when all hell broke loose everybody was just trying to get out of there alive. Who's got time to handcuff an old man?

 

[The Batman]

And your attempt at bashing SR isnt nitpicking?

EVERY comic film has pretty much the same old stuff, yet i dont see you complaining about those films.

I assume you're just talking of the SR movie-verse here...but still, I'd like to point out that Superman can still fail even without the use of Kryptonite...he's not invulnerable...he's just very, very durable...I mean, he was beaten to death in the early 90's. So it's not fair to say that nothing can hurt him...it just takes a lot.

And from what I've heard of the last part of the movie, and Superman's confrontation with Lex, that feeling of "Is he gonna make it?" should be well intact.

 

[The Batman]

dont you understand? He's already seen the movie!

X3

Supes has always been too corny & ridiculous of a character for me to ever like. I swear that everyone in Metropolis must have brain damage not to realize the Clark is Superman. Glasses as a disguise? Yeah right.

It's more of a psychological disguise than a physical one. With no mask to hide behind (as opposed to say, Spider-Man) you have no reason to believe that he's leading a double life...When a mask is involved, you know that there's a person behind it, who could be anyone, with any face. But when Superman is out and about, you see him, not hiding in any way. So the whole concept of a secret identity is not an idea that would occur to most. And besides, this is a hero who shows up for everything from terrorists to cats stuck in trees...why would they think that this powerful, god-like figure is walking and living among them?
