Superman Returns Would Superman Returns be suitable for the average movie goer?

Dude what the hell are you on.. this is a superman movie site?

Precisely... the Superman boards are the only place where I've ended up discussing about politics. Superman is a too political character to ignore that...

I think it's very revealing that during the tsunamis in 2004, we pledged over a billion in aid to the devastated region, yet when we went through Katrina, we were offered pocket change in return. Not only that, but a lot of big-mouths took the opportunity to once again declare open season for bashing

Now I loathe our admin as well, but it's ridiculous, close-minded, and plain ignorant to dismiss a country for a time of bad leadership. It's not just people that have bad times in their life.

Again I agree with all of the above. But I will say this. In 08, Hillary Clinton is not the answer please don't cast your vote for her.

Very nice.

Dude we threw a campus wide beach party last night and my buddy's frat had a few kegs so we partied there but there was so much hott a$$ walking around. It was off the hook. I still got a hangover.

I think X3 will be more for the average movie goers than supes because they will go into the cinema knowing what to expect due to the previous films. Can't say the same for SR.

America is no Empire. Except for Iraq, we do not run countries in the Middle East, Asia, or Africa ala the former British Empire. THATS and empire.

Methinks you need to expand your idea of Empire. One doesn't need to colonize to be an empire. We have economic and culturial imperialism, not colonialism.

Are cheap labor keeps that countires economies alive mind you, tough ***** that the gotta work a little for it and not be handed money like citizens on welfare.

Keeps it alive? How? They get paid less for their work and the profits of the company don't go back into their economy. They go into the pockets of people in the US not back into the economy of some third world country.

And I really think American propoganda about how are way of life is better than living under some authoritarian leader is better than the lives those people live everyday so YES they should want to be like us because we have freedom damnit.

LOL. Keep going. You're a laugh-a-minute.

And I think that it's just ridiculous, close-minded, and plain ignorant to praise a country for cases of good leadership. It's not just people that have good times in their life.

The US does have its problems. Many of them. It's not the perfect place some people seem to think it to be. Is it better than a lot of places in the world? Sure. But that's not saying much.

Only difference is that I'm not praising it. I am however defending it from your baseless and ceaseless bashing, not to mention your paranoia about great machines of propaganda and imperialism. What we do is no different from what any other nation does. That doesn't mean it's good or bad, it's simply the way of life.

No one thinks its perfect, but given we have one of the highest immigration rates on the planet, that certainly says something about our way of life. We do not have to deal with wars within our coasts, invasions, genocides, huge outbreaks of disease, biblical-scale famine, violent government changes, and many other things that plague other places. We have one of the greatest art cultures in the world, and our music, movies, television, and many other things are recieved warmly the world over.

I'm pretty happy here. If you're not, do something about it or move. Simply posting on messageboards does nothing in the grand scheme of things.

I think this movie is suitable for the average moviegoer. To some they may like it even more than some of the fanboys that continuously complain. I think it will definately be a movie that parents take their kids too. A lot about this movie, will be able to appeal to such a broad audience. The love story, the action, the hero, the humor, and just all around fun that Superman is.

Skruloos is a smart man. All i have to say to tabLengle is that if he is studying to be politician or historian, he needs to study more. I`m from a third world country(Brazil), lived in South America 22 years of my life, know the history of my continent and now i live in a first world country, in North America, in Canada. I`m lucky because i had the chance to know both sides of the stories. And i can say a lot of things that USA has done to make my country a better and worse place at the same time.
For example, we export a lot of products to USA and this helps our country economy. I wish we were as hardworker and patriotic as north americans are. My country wouldn`t be in the situation it is today if we fought more instead of waiting for it to happen, my self included. I love the organization of North America, taxes and all. If my country was like this there wouldn`t be a lot of corruption. However, there are bad things too. like for example, during the capitalism vs socialism era of the post WW II period till the fall of Soviet Union, the USA helped to put a dicatorship in my country in the 60`s/70`s and i guess you guys can have an idea of how bad that was for a lot of people. Another problem is The traffic of weapons. Weapons that are made in USA and first world countries. One problem leads to another. We are all connected in the world, somehow. Our actions, all of them, affect people directly or idirectly in the world. And to know our responsibilty, dont think of ourselves better than other, and do our part not as citznes of a country but as citzes of Earth is to be a hero. Thats where Superman is an inspiration. To me, at least.

Athens, OH

OHIO UNIVERSITY REPRESENT

Know wonder your such a tard!!! MIAMI UNIVERSITY REPRESENT!!! And yes its the college in Oxford, Ohio for you people out there!!!!!!!

I noticed all the politics and I just felt like adding my feelings in there. True Im an Accounting major, and I honestly don't care about any country other than my own, but I just want to say that a part of me wishes I lived in the 40's and 50's, pre-vietnam. The U.S. just had so much more grit and tenacity back then. We were as tough as we were free. Now are own citizens b*tch, moan, and complain everyday about there own country. I look at it from the point of view as Id rather be here than under the control of some dictator, because then I would just have to kill myself or die fighting. Im just trying to say, toughen up people, we need to rember where we came from!!!!!

And tabLengle, see ya in oxford next year while were kicking OU's a$$ all over the field!!!!!!!!

And Im not even gonna get started on the illegals in this country, but I want them gone!!!!!!!!

And yes, the movie IS suitable for everyday movie-goers!!!!!!!

yet when we went through Katrina, we were offered pocket change in return.

Don't wanna get TOO into this (wow is this off topic) but I'd like to clarify the above. There WAS a considerable amount of money and goods pledged from other countries to go towards Katrina/Rita recovery. The United States, by and large, turned them all down. Some got in. The ones that DID get in, as was just revealed by an oversight committee, were very horribly mishandled in a lot of cases. The official reasoning was that our bureaucracy wasn't used to handling that many donations and wasn't well equipped to keep track of what went where, and actually, at one point, REQUESTED that next time, not to donate or help so much.

People DID want to help. The government mostly refused that help and then didn't know what to do when it got there anyway.

Know wonder your such a tard!!! MIAMI UNIVERSITY REPRESENT!!!

And that's a pretty good representation of Miami University, actually.

Ceaseless bashing? No. I only bring up the faults of the US when others are bragging about the US, such as what tabLengle was doing.

And who says that I don't? You assume that my political activities are relegated to message boards? I happen to volunteer for different activist groups.

Also, it's always funny to me that people who have problems with people criticizing the US recommend that I move.

Yes, but it wasn't close to the billion we've given to the tsunami victims. That was all I meant.

The largest came from Kuwait and Qatar (which were both substantial), then the rest was in the single digit millions.

Ceaseless bashing? No. I only bring up the faults of the US when others are bragging about the US, such as what tabLengle was doing.

So you're the self-designated bubble-burster? You like to rain on people's parades maybe?

And who says that I don't? You assume that my political activities are relegated to message boards? I happen to volunteer for different activist groups.

What kind of activist groups?

Dude I just strait up don't like you at all. You really should move to like Russia or something if you don't like it here, and then see if putting up with telling other worthless f-ing countries what to do is ok or not. How about that *******. Im done being political.
