The action itself I didn't have a problem with. It's Superman, of course it's going to be over the top. My problem is that the action showed no regard for human life, which basically goes against everything that Superman stands for. Also, I hated the over-use of shaky-cam. That's one film trope that seriously needs to die.

A Superman movie should not be this hard to make. Seriously.

There goes my last bit of interest in the film.

At least we'll always have Superman I and II. True classics.

Also, I just saw this on Yahoo, and figured that with the Man of Steel talk, it's a decent time to post this.

And here is a direct link to the image of Ben Affleck's Batman (image is a little too big to post here). https://s.yimg.com/os/publish-images/movies/2014-05-13/e7eb52c0-dabd-11e3-928d-790595b088b3_batmobile.jpg

It's interesting that the suit looks more like classic Batman, rather than the more armored suit in the Nolan movies. But the ears are kind of small. Better when they are just a little bit longer.

I hate how he is hunched over. He looks chubby like that.

I think the costume designers had Gloomy Sunday playing nonstop while working on the suit.

Watched Serenity again (after revisiting Firefly, of course) for the first time in maybe 5 years. I think it's still my favorite sci-fi action/adventure movie. :joy:

It's a great genre film if you haven't seen the series, but it's a masterpiece to anyone who has seen the show. For a series that was cut down way too short, this film was the perfect send-off for it. I'd like to point out that I still feel the same concept applies to The Avengers, though, which was also directed by Whedon.

I support this notion 100%. :D

I am sloooowly working my way through the MCU films in release order right now. (A lot more slowly than I'd like to.) I'm sure I'll appreciate The Avengers a lot more upon doing so. That, and I'm less depressed and more jovial now, so I'd probably like it more during a re-watch regardless.

I wonder if Netflix has Iron Man 3 yet. except for Winter Soldier, IM3 is still the only MCU film I've yet to see

Heads up- the recent Bill Watterson documentary, Dear Mr. Watterson, is available for both streaming and rental on Netflix come Sunday. :thumbup:

So what's with people suddenly praising Michael Bay as an auteur? I've seen people unironically claim that Transformers 2 was a satire on modern racism, while also saying that Bay's films are more emotionally honest than any Marvel flick.

So, X-Men DOFP has gotten really good reviews so far. I haven't been this pumped to see an X-Men film since the second film.

I sure hope it's good. First Class gave me new hope for the franchise.

I loved First Class and the first 2 X-Men films. It seems that this movie combines the best elements (and cast) of those movies, while simultaneously writing the shifty ones out of continuity.
