They're pretending the films past Superman II don't exist
and carrying on from there basically.

No, but it still is embarassing. I honestly think that
Superman is one of the worst ideas in history of
pop-culture. What is interesting in a guy for whom there are
no limitations? He reminds me of a super-fast rocket-powered
armoured car with lasers that a child would draw.

Anyway, I'm glad to see that you agree on something with
tridenti

Britney Spears (pop culture wise) is far more embarassing.

More or less, pop culture is dum, but its what a majority of
the culture likes, or is told to like, via tv, the internet,
movies....whatever the media is

well, the preview looked really really bad.

couple things I noticed:
obviously puffed up costume
horrible CG, note the cape

maybe the plot is really really good though

I don't think Routh really has the chutzpah that Reeve
did... so much of the appeal of the first two Supermen was
because Reeve was such a presence as Superman and such a
great dork as Clark. The new Lois also doesn't have Margot
Kidder's spunk, and her forehead is too huge.

Kevin Spacey is a a worthy Luthor, though. Considering how
much emphasis gets put on villains in superhero movies, he
should be a feather in the movie's cap.

I dunno. I'm excited, I love Superman. On paper, it sounds
dumb to give one guy so much power, but in execution, it has
always worked.

Minor spoilers ahead...

I just finished viewing a midnight showing of the movie.

Well, I liked it…IT, in my humble opinion, caught a
bit—well, more than just a bit--a tremendous amount of the
magic of the first two Superman movies. This is a good
thing. But this movie isn’t in its soul a rehash of those
pictures. It uses their style and pacing to some extent
(sometimes unabashedly in excess), but breathes new life and
vigor into those same themes and ideas. It has a life of its
own. Although, the actor playing Superman does seemingly
attempt to channel Christopher Reeves in mannerism and
voice, but this, at least by me, is accepted very easily.
The guy, I think, did a decent job.
I did, though, at times, feel a bit awkward towards Kevin
Spacey’s Lex Luthor. The performance was, well, a bit, I
don’t know, effete. But whatever. I did however enjoy with
giggles, that Lex’s awesome criminal mind still leads him
to his crackpot scheme of real-estate! I thought that was
funny in a good non-lame way (I think it was intentional).

I also enjoyed the structure of the film, the pacing. It
flowed nicely, without strain to get to the action parts and
so on. It does not feel like a modern movie. It’s as
almost, for the most part, that labor was put in to the
movie making process, to create quality cinema like the
“old days”. I can’t say it enough, I really think that
Singer captured a bit of those early Superman movies.
Exquisitely so. The man can direct. And will probably be
able to direct what ever he wants after this, including the
sequels.

There is one thing that I didn’t like that I'd like to
point out: Making a character a Christ like figure in the
movies. I didn’t mind all the savior talk, but do we
really need to see another character take the
Christ-on-the-cross posture while in defeat again, sort of
like Neo did in the last Matrix and countless other
characters do. It’s just tiring. But anyway, I did enjoy
this movie. It makes up for a lackluster summer movie
experience so far.

4/5

Goodnight!
