Donner = Prog Rock

For me this is the definitive edit of MOS. Always cracks me up watching it. “Are you effin’ stupid?!” “I grew up in Kansas, General.”

Given that he delivered the best Superman film in 45 years, I disagree that he was wrong for Superman. He nailed the characterization. However, I can agree that Gunn’s actually more suitable doing anti-heroes like THE SUICIDE SQUAD and PEACEMAKER…

Superman has not traditionally been as big of a draw as other superheroes in the international market. So far the film has legs, even internationally it’s not seeing a big drop off on its second week. We won’t really know what that means for Superma…

My only quibble is that it easily could have been shorter, and it likely would have been anyway in 2017. The 4 hour version has a ton of fat in it that easily could have been trimmed out. This is only my second viewing because four hours is kind of …

Which version of JL? I’m currently in the middle of the Snyder cut, and frankly I think I’d rank it over both MOS and BVS.

Krypto is definitely for the kids and will probably be seen as one of the best things to happen to the Superman franchise. When you engage a new generation of fans like this, it’s all the more worth it.

When he does dialogue free montages those are genuinely great. That main title sequence of WATCHMEN? Amazing. The dialogue free opening of SUCKER PUNCH? I really thought I was in for something amazing (before the rest of the film played). That sa…

Mankiewicz sensibilities as far as humor go are very different. Like I said, most of the humor in the first film is verbal while the humor in II and III tends to be much more slapstick visuals. But there’s also different priorities when it comes to …

I agree, though I’d say that its humor is both verbal like Donner’s and visual like Lester’s. Sort of the best of both worlds. I’d even say it’s a lot more successful with its visual humor than Lester generally was. There’s one gag in SUPERMAN II wh…

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.
