I concur, Superman shouldn't have trouble carrying 10 ton objects and ect..

Yeah, I thought Routh was great. I'd read comments about him in several reviews, and I guess I just don't know what the reviewers were looking for. To me, he was Superman and Clark Kent both, but I've followed the comic and cartoons for years, and he gave me what I expected. And any people who were concerned that he was too small or not buff enough for the role can relax now. I'm sure it was in part due to construction of the suit, but he appreared to be way, way more muscular than Reeve ever was.

And I loved Spacey's Lex. He seemed...diabolical. Not campy, not comical, just out for himself, everyone else be damned, with a little dash of insanity on the side.

That's an insult to Ottoman; it wasn't a Williams remix or sample at all. I actually loved that they used the themes they did the way that they did, because, to me, it helped tie to film to the Donner version, which was exactly what Singer was going for. It enhanced the film I thought.

Save Darkseid or Doomsday for the end of the trilogy.

And can we please have Batman vs. Superman?

it wasn't totally original that's all I'm saying, because one can't get away from the original John Williams score. Singer even admitted to that

SPOILER

I thought that was a really nice touch in the sequence where Superman is "back", flying all over the world saving people. In one of the news reports, you hear them say he was in Gotham. Real nice touch. Hint toward something in the future maybe? At least a nod to the DC universe.

-----------

I thought Singer put all kinds of little subtle touches in the movie like that. Very well thought out. But you have to be paying attention.

I noticed that, too, tk.

This could be an introduction to the Justice League too.

Yeah I heard that. The crowd did, too. I was all like, sup, Batman?

Im not much of a Superman fan at all but this is definitly sounding like one that may be worth the stiff price of seeing it in IMAX.

Chiefs_Fan_n_64081 06-28-2006 03:05 AM

I guess I am a little more critical than most, but I will also point out some strengths as well.
Personally I thought the main plot device was sluggish in it's pacing, and lazy to connect the dots as to how things are workable with the plot in question.
I also felt that there was not nearly enough details about his attempt to journey home, and it might have helped to have a few seconds of flashback footage of what he experienced.
I am thrilled with the care that went into the CGI shots. If there's one thing that grates my nerves, it's CGI that is obvious. This film had virtually none of those glitches.
Brian Singer did a fantastic job making this film look beautiful.

I highly reccomend this film for viewing at the theater, as it was made to be experienced on the big screen.

I'd definitely agree with that last point above all else. I'm usually content to just wait for movies to come to DVD. But this movie is definitely a reminder about why you go to the movie theater.
