The new Superman ?

[maxpayne2409]

they only brush lightly on smallville Gem, i guess that's because it's newer so more people are likely to know about it? don't get me wrong it does get mentioned, just not mucheven the 1980s Superboy series gets a mention (it's out on dvd now btw)

It was a nice documentary.

I got laid too

[maxpayne2409]

u got laid because of a documentay?

[dinky]

he finally found that kryptonite condom.

[maxpayne2409]

that would be a counteragent for kryptonian viagra if i ever saw one

[dinky]

yes, but it keeps lois relatively safe. although she may not shit right for a week.

[maxpayne2409]

and then she wonders why Clark's impotent

anyway.... watched Subject Two last night, it was too dramay for my liking, the imdb plot outline makes it sound a lot better then it really is

Took my 5 yr old son to see the new superman yesterday. OVerall the film was ok, and that has nothing to do with it not being reeve etc.

The film was just too long, a typical hollywood problem nowadays with remade or remimagined films is that they spend half the film, re introducing the characters etc and then eventually give you a film.

The set pieces and effects were great, the plane rescue was eye watering.

But the film could have done with 40 minutes cut from it to speed it up and it would have been a lot better

I was surprised to look up and see how LONG the movie was too. but tbh, that's a compliment (I take it you were saying the opposite). but you did make me think of PotC2. that movie was long and action packed and I really felt like it was dragging on and going nowhere in particular.

[maxpayne2409]

well to be fair dinky the only place PotC2 is going is towards number 3, it serves no other real purpose

[dinky]

indeed. it feels like one fairly long movie (e.g., kill bill) that was bloated into 2 movies. but you can say the same about any superhero franchise. especially a reboot of the franchise.

I saw the new film the other day with my little brother and I was very pleasantly surprised. I watched Superman 1 and 2 last week.

I was even happy with the length, cause that meant I got to watch more of a film that I was enjoying.

I even thought the new guy did a good 'reeve'

I even thought the new guy did a good 'reeve'

true,for being a new guy he didn't do bad at all

personally I liked it very much that they had kept the original opening & music almost intact.That opening really brought back memories,since my dad took me to see the originals when i was a kid

[spudthedestroyer]

any news on dvd release date? I kinda want to see it but knowing its superman won't be paying anytime soon

[Jynks]

forget it, wait for the next one.... he is superman for fucks sake and he dosn't even punch anything in thsi movie!!

[dinky]

erm...the superman actually being superman stuff starts pretty early in the movie, actually.

[maxpayne2409]

but does he use his ace heat vision (or cheesey reeves red laser vision )

[wargand]

I got the comic version and now I have absolutely no interest in the movie itself. I could not even read the comic properly from cover to cover. The most interesting stuff in it were the ads, which made it almost bearable. (we need a vomiting emoticon here)

[dinky]

but does he use his ace heat vision (or cheesey reeves red laser vision )

I thought it was heat, but I don't recall. it's part of the first action scene. I though lasers were focused heat waves anyway.

[maxpayne2409]

lol what i was meaning is the way in smallville etc they actually look like proper flame, but in chris reeves movies they just look like red laser beams, same as they do for dean cain
