OT: Movies/TV Shows

New Superman movie is getting very good reviews so far.


I’m looking forward to it. Up until now, I don’t think anyone’s ever gotten Superman—or Lex Luthor—right on the big screen.

The Reeve movies were completely over the top with how campy, cartoonish & goofy they were. The one Brandon Routh movie was just a continuation/imitation of those Reeve movies.

And then while I think Henry Cavill was perfect casting, his movies were hampered by the fact that Zach Snyder’s a godawful storyteller, didn’t have a clue about the character & was obsessed with copying the dark & gritty aesthetic of Nolan’s Batman movies, which isn’t a fit at all for Superman.

Fingers crossed that Gunn finally hits the sweet spot.
