The Official Kevin Costner IS Pa Kent Thread

[moviefreak]

Tom Welling will be playing against Kevin Costner in 'Draft Day'. Frank Langella will also be in it.

So now we have MOS Clark's father Pa Kent and Superman Returns' Perry in the same film as Smallville's Clark.LOL.

They really lucked out when Costner signed on for this. He's friggin perfect for this role in every way.

 

[Naite22]

^ agreed.

 

[Jim-El]

Costner this generations Glen Ford?...

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

^ I liked Glen Ford. I think his role was way too short. Hopefully we will all have a closeness with Costner's Kent

Spoiler

and be gutted when he dies.

He's probably the best man who ever lived for this role. t:

 

[The Caped Knight]

The live action actors for Pa Kent have been perfectly casted

Glenn Ford did a heartwarming portrayal in Superman: The Movie.

Eddie Jones was good in Lois and Clark: The New Adventures Of Superman

John Schneider was magnificent as Jonathan Kent in "Smallville"

And Now Kevin Costner is just going to elevate this character to a whole new level in "Man Of Steel". I can't wait to see what he brings to the role, I was totally on board as soon as he and Diana Lane were casted as Pa & Ma Kent.

 

[The Caped Knight]

Costner's Pa Kent is quite different as he's loving to Clark but very protective. I like it and every scene with him I felt the emotion Pa felt in wanting the best for his son, but also making sure that he safe.

 

[Two-Face]

Costner was great as Pa Kent and one of the best actors.

 

[The Guard]

Perfect modern casting for Pa Kent. Costner gave a fantastic performance despite his minimal screentime.

Spoiler

His last moments...powerful stuff.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Costner made me believe totally that he was a man that lived and died by the courage of his convictions. His part in the story is what emotionally grounds this biblically grand scifi epic.

 

[The Guard]

I absolutely loved that last sequence with Pa Kent and young Clark trying on the towel as a cape. Incredible moment in the film.

 

[Nicko-Ray]

Costner sold it for me when he stuck out his hand to simply signal Clark, "no, I know you can, but don't."
Loved Costner as Pa Kent and hope we somehow see more of him.

One of my favorite moments in the film.

 

[Lencho01]

He was like Uncle Ben (including have his "son" be a *****e to him before he dies), but the opposite.

I liked EVERYTHING in his scenes (even the suggestion to hide his powers until he is ready,) EXCEPT for the tornado scene. His performance was FINE, it just was a strangely plotted scene. Is Clark THAT much of a daddy's boy that he can't break commands to save his own life?

It's a weak moment in a good movie.

 

[Smashlilman]

He was like Uncle Ben (including have his "son" be a *****e to him before he dies), but the opposite.

Uncle Ben = With Great power comes great responsibility.
Pa Kent = With Great power comes great temperance.

 

[Lencho01]

Uncle Ben = With Great power comes great responsibility.
Pa Kent = With Great power comes great temperance.

And maybe letting people die.

I was thinking the same thing about seeing more of Costner. I would not be surprised to see more Pa Kent flashbacks in MOS 2.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

Costner was great, but I can't help but feel his scenes would have had more of an impact if they aired in linear order. In particular, the tornado scene would have had far more impact if they didn't just tell us his fate right before that. And he isn't someone that needs to be killed off for the character to work like Uncle Ben or Thomas Wayne either.

 

[Tra-El]

Pa Kent was just as big of a hero as Clark was. Not only a protective father, but one who gives him the best of advice when it comes to the right and wrong choices and he never wavers or shows frustration, especially when Clark is lashing out at times.

Spoiler

Every good father would of done what Pa did in his last scene. He made sure Clark got the people, and especially his mother, to safety FIRST. Costner and Lane were as close to perfect casting calls for Ma and Pa as it gets.

Ok, these made me laugh...

"I'd rather die than see you become a hero."

Well that puts it into perspective. XD
