Fatboy,

That's the other thing about these mini-reviews. The idea seems to work within the film. So, there must be something we're missing or because it's vague or implied in such a manner, that it works within the story.

But like you and I have stated, where does this place Superman II and again, how the heck does Clark not tell her the truth or how the heck does Lois not remember that Clark is Superman?

Unless, they're playing this idea very much like the idea of the Virgin Mary and Jesus...

 

[Asgard]

I was reading the discussion over at The Planet, and it seems that that particular spoiler was edited. The reviewer actually stated that the kid reveals his powers by doing exactly what Moriarty described in his review.

I might be reading the discussion wrong and misinterpreted things, so have a look for yourselves.

 

[MoreCowbell]

I think this is another bullsh^t AICN review. Im getting tired of this. What major spoilers were in it?

They didnt say anything new except their claim that Jason is Superman's son.

All the ppl who were screened this film were also told that they were required TO NOT reveal any spoilers from the film (all the 10-15 other reviewers complied with that)...

But AICN didnt?....

I dont buy this at all.

They have no credibility after all the questionable crap theyve pulled so far. That site needs to go down.

He mentions some details... I think it's real.

He mentions some details... I think it's real.

What details?

That scene about Richard thinking Clark may be Superman? How convienient....IESB released it yesterday.

Everything else from there is information/rumors we already know.

 

[J.Howlett]

Well, the reviewer states that the kid's powers are revealed in subtle ways. Throwing a piano to knock out a bad person isn't the most subtle way.

So again, it's going to be very implied and subtle to the point where if you blink, you might miss the hints....

I think I got it...

When Superman is in the ocean and Lois+Richard are looking maybe we see some X-ray vision to see under the water. We've all assumed that maybe he might have some telekinetic power, but what if he really DOES see him when no one else can...

What details?

I apologize... I just re-read what I was going to quote for you, and it's some things from the book. And he's vauge. You may be right, but I hope it's real because it sounds great (the preformances and such).

well there you have it. the twist.

 

[J.Howlett]

Well, in the novel, that part did stick out like a sore thumb when it happened.

Lois and Richard are desperately looking for Superman, then all of a sudden, Jason spots him in the middle of the ocean, many yards away.

That was the only, only moment in the novel where my opinion on Jason changed.

 

[Asgard]

The article was changed, the reviewer originally stated that the kid does throw a piano in the movie.

[Kane]

It ain't official. Not from AICN. Neither of their previous reviews were. Theres no reason to give this any validity.

I'd like to know how they managed to reveal supposed heavy spoilers from SR when the 10-15 other reviews that were screened the film were REQUIRED NOT to reveal anything.

I wana get Justin to confirm if this has any merit.

 

[J.Howlett]

The original AICN review did not state that the kid throws a piano.

All the other reviews already said the cast had great performances. AICN isnt really telling us anything we havent heard.

Something is fishy about this, just like all their other reviews.


They seem to highlight Luthor's Wigs, Throwing pianos (which was removed for some reason from their 'review' conviently) and Jason being Superman's son (all the crap from the first AICN review that the writers debunked).


Like seriously, just because theyre trying to make it look positive....doesnt make it anymore legit.

 

[#1DanteBlade]

I hope that's the twist. It would be interesting.

cause its a fan review. they wouldnt know who to sue.

 

[Asgard]

Are you sure?

Like I said, I might be wrong.

http://bluetights.net/theplanet/showpost.php?p=689028&postcount=57

I read that and from his previous comment on the thread assumed it was changed.

 

[J.Howlett]

Yeah. The AICN review never mentioned piano. What they are referring to over at bluetights is the Moriarty review of the script which stated that Jason threw the piano.

With this review confirming that Jason is Superman's, they naturally assumed that Jason is going to throw the piano since it was in an early, early version of the script. It was the budget script to be exact.

The AICN review says that Jason's powers are HINTED at in the film. Throwing a piano is not a hint.

 

[MoviesKickAss]

cause its a fan review. they wouldnt know who to sue.

If they REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted to they can find out who reviewed it

 

[Kane]

And how would an anonymous fan have even seen the film? I thought it was only screened that day to noted reviewers and known ppl connected to the in-crowd and who have ties with ppl involved with the film.

Not anonymous fans...

If this person was really invited to the screening, they should know who he is.

(Meaning he could get sued if those are REAL spoilers.....and not bullsh^t)

 

[Excel]

ainitcool would never give up their source. ever. and theres nothing w.b. can do it about, and i doubt they care because he gave an immensly positive review.

 

[Kane]

Man. It doesnt matter if it was positive or negative. You can easily take negative rumors and color them cheerful to make them sound positive. Thats why this review does I believe.

Look at his from this new AICN review:

"Its also alluded to the fact that Jimmy has a man-crush on Clark."



I remember one of the early FAKE reviews also alluded to Jimmy expressing homosexual behavior on Clark.

It was debunked.

Come June 27th, if AICN's been lying all this time....that site really needs to be removed. Its becoming quite an annoyance and definately not a reliable source of information.

 

[bsquad]

its a very positive review though, so I doubt WB or anyone woudl be mad

 

[LL2K2]

It's just an assumption--

Spoiler

"We know the kid is Superman's"

? Give me a break--as far as I'm concerned. This subplot does not concern me at all; if it's true, that's OK; if not, that's OK too.

Excel, dude, do you even CHECK the boards before you hit Post New Topic?

 

[Fatboy Roberts]

I'm with J. on this. I the story go up when it was all of 3 minutes old and there was still like 2 paragraphs missing. Nothing was cut out of it, there was never any mention of a piano.

People are apparently running around like chickens with their heads cut off over at BT if they're confusing this review with Moriarty's month's old post.
