I kind of expected more of a CGI-overkill movie, to be honest. I mean, he's muthafuckin' freakin' SupaMYAN! Man of Steel and whatnot - you'd think they'd come up with more action. After all, nobody went to see that movie because of its story, right? It's all been set from the beginning - he's the big superjerk, Lois is the supergroupie, Lex is superbald - let's rock! But nooooo...

What a let down, eh?

Found this stuff at Superhero Hype in one of the many threads debating the [non-existent] pros and [many] cons of Superman Returns, representing the deranged thought process of director Bryan Singer -

Damn.

Those are even worse and more nonsensical than your photo captions.

I actually enjoyed the movie and I still am baffled by how much attention the people that DIDN'T like it keep paying it.

That's true. I never get tired of hating your God-awful photo captions.

That's pretty harsh, FirePants. Have anything to back that up? I think his captions are hilarious, more often than not.

Hey all, guess who's back devil.gif

It's not that people necessarily like ripping this movie to shreds (although I do), but I think it's safe to say that the number of people that disliked this movie greatly outnumber those that do. Just look at the box office numbers. Sorry, but overall, this movie was poorly recieved. Let us just hope it dies, goes away, and we get the Superman movie we all deserved in the first place.

Oh, and did anyone else hear that Singer has said that "if" (although he said when) he gets to do the sequeal it will be an alien that Supes takes on... and now he has revealed this horrible alien threat...

Any guesses?

That's right! ZOD! How original! I'm sure he won't copy Donner's vision or anything like that at all. (<--sarcasm folks, I'm a big fan.)

Nice to be back! Not that anyone knew I was gone, let alone missed me. laugh.gif tongue.gif biggrin.gif

Oh, and Aquaman, I love the pics! Both the caption ones and these. Some people need to learn to laugh at themselves and the things they like. It's just a joke people, learn to take it. Life's too short. Later all.

JA! Good to see you again! Thanks for supporting my captions, but I think I'm gonna give it up.

Zod again? Oh for crying out loud... as much as I'd like to see someone who can actually take on Superman in a fist fight, using Zod again would be a waste.

I'd much rather wait another 20 years for a real cinematic Superman relaunch as opposed to the rehash Bryan Singer has given us.

Why the hell would he use Zod again? That's pretty lame, no matter how you look at it. If they want an "alien menace," what the hell is wrong with Brainiac?!?

I don't know. What *is* wrong with Brainiac?

Let's just talk about Superman for a moment, not SR, just Superman - what bothers you, the people, more - Superman having the many powers that he has, or Superman not utilizing those powers in a creative, productive manner when he's in a brawl?

The latter. In SR, were I Superman, the first thing I'd have done when I landed on that Kryptonite island, before I realized it was Kryptonite, or course, would have been to sear the bad guts right at the feet with my heat vision, and then to slap the living shit out of them, gently enough to cause only mild brain damage. So yeah, Superman tends to forget his awesome heat vision, for one, when stomping bozos.

LOL laugh.gif

Love that Civ2.

But, even in the comics, Supes holds back when fighting the baddies. Very rarely does he unleash all of his power on anyone. The only ones that I can think of being Darksied and Mongul. There's actually a great issue of, I think Action Comics, where Supes is fighting Mongul, and Mongul has him in a bear hug and is trying to crush him... Supes looks down at him... his eyes start to burn red... and he softly says, "Burn." And he just hits Mongul with all the heat vision he can muster! Great panel!

The honorable warrior, that's Superman. He never goes overboard unless he has to. And I assume everyone here knows that had SR been truly Superman, he would've felt the Kryptonite from miles away, not minutes after landing on said Kryptonite.

Here's hoping that Singer gets the sack and we get the relaunch I'm demanding. biggrin.gif

Later all.
