  • I don’t think they changed much of the script. It was written and ready for a large budget production. For example, the screenwriter on the commentary talked about how on his script he set up a far more elaborate subway chase that involved Superm…
  • I do wonder what’s up with RETURNS. It’s my least favorite Superman film, but it’s interesting how they’re just neglecting it at this point. Even back when the blu-ray collection came out they included it in the set. Granted, it’s only mastered a…

  • How bout… “Now we know what C stands for.”
  • Other characters refer to him as C, IIRC. Mallory was the only one that spoke with Denbigh on a first name basis.

  • It’s a purely money-making decision by Cannon Films that had nothing to do with art. By cutting out 30 mins of footage, that allowed more showtimes at a theater. Cannon Films was notoriously cheap. Fun fact, the little girl in the tornado scene i…

  • There’s a better SUPERMAN II between the films. A hybrid cut really brings out the best of both.
  • I liked TFA, TLJ, Mando, and Obi-Wan. That’s about it. To be fair, I’m not really interested in the other shows.
  • Can lightning strike thrice? Will he be able to live up to expectations set by films he made so long ago? Imagine the crushing disappointment.
  • Gunn is probably the most right guy for Superman that we have gotten since Donner. Him posting that cover of ALL STAR SUPERMAN to represent what he’s aiming for gives me hope.
  • I don’t think JJ will ever come back after TROS. He ended up making a movie everyone can agree was below par. I personally enjoyed it in theaters, but I do agree that it ranks among the weakest of the saga.

  • He has one more to go with Netflix. After three Benoit Blanc murder mysteries and POKER FACE, I’d welcome him to have a crack at another Star Wars film.
  • This is actually Phase 5. Phase 4 ended with WAKANDA FOREVER.

  • At most Lex Luthor should only be a side character like he is in TAS while Superman has to fight a much bigger bad.
