I’m concerned of F4. On paper I love the idea of a1960s futurism Fantastic Four adventure. But all the trailers and clips I’ve seen kind of leave me cold, and there seems to be a lack of chemistry between the leads, including Pascal and Kirby. Even …

My only quibble about Lex’s portrayal is that I would have liked to have more CEO Lex before he’s sent to prison, with the first film with Lex to have him actually weasel his way out, but Superman knows Lex was behind it yet can’t implicate him. “I …

It was a way of demonstrating how the world has other heroes that can take care of things without needing Superman’s help. “They’ve got it handled” he says with genuine confidence. It’s a clever way of allowing future movies to show heroes face thre…

Gotta disagree about the gag with the dog. That scene got a BIG response from both screenings I went to, especially from the kids. Seeing the first fight before Superman’s defeat might have felt repetitive because even in the rematch Superman get…

Snyder’s vision is one thing, but I think what hurt the films more than simply a choice of tone was really the writing. Snyder seems like a nice guy, but in so many interviews I see with him he’s really terrible at trying to articulate his thoughts.…

It’s why when I think of what a hypothetical third Donner film might have been that it wouldn’t have likely pushed anything forward, because he was working off of comics that still adhered to a formula. Lois learning Clark and Superman are the same …

In a different and better timeline, SUPERMAN IV’s budget would have been $51m, with Chris Reeve playing Supes and Nuclear Man as originally envisioned.

Here’s David Corenswet geeking out about CASINO ROYALE. https://www.reddit.com/r/JamesBond/s/bVJmxtOClB Candidate for Felix Leiter, perhaps?

Maybe the woke mind virus got Aston.

Aston would have accused you have having succumbed to the woke mind virus for using a neutral pronoun!

It would be cool to see Cruise play more of the veteran/mentor role like Connery banked on starting with THE UNTOUCHABLES. He was essentially in that part already in MAVERICK, only he was still the star. Hell, have him in a sequel to THE COLOR OF…

Just came back from a screening. That was a lot of fun. I should give a fair warning: If your knowledge of Superman only extends as far as the films, be prepared for what is THE most comic booky Superman film of all time where it feels like nothing …

I also think Cruise just isn’t as big of a draw as many thought. MAVERICK came at the perfect climate, and it helps it was a much better film than the two films that came after.

I had no idea until seeing this that Linkin Park actually sampled a cue from Barry’s FRWL score. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLtWTj-sMYZ/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

It’s definitely going for a different approach with the theme, I’m okay with that. I didn’t need it to be the same style as the Donner film.
