Man, that looks so freaking great. That looks more like the superman i want. Is Supergirl ever coming to Netflix or what? It's impossible to watch that series here in Sweden.

There is a big chance it will. Flash is on Netflix in the US. I don't know. If you have Flash, then there is a huge likelihood of Supergirl also being on Netflix in SE.

Next week, she's racing The Flash!

This isn't going to change your argument any but it's implied the priest is the same kid that bullied him in the flashback just before.

But that just creates more questions! Why wouldn't he be recognized, Clark didn't leave Smallville until high school. Why would Clark risk revealing his identity and therefore endanger his mother? Is it just assumed toffee entire town knows but plays dumb? It's like I'm freaking crazy pills!! WARGHLBLRGHL

I love Batman. I love Arnold. I was like 5 when I saw it. I got mad love for the 90s Batman movies. Nolan films were legit awesome.

Don't fuck it up Snyder. DON'T YOU FUCK UP BATS

For everyone who doesn't like MoS.
You should check out super girl. The show captures that superfeel perfectly.

In the previous episode she helpes young kid who was being bullied. And that's how the show just opens.
Man of Steel superman would have beat up the kid and joined the bullies. Then went to his parents house and shat on his mother's front porch.

This is the best DC show to me. Better than current Arrow (of course lol) and Flash.

Whaa? The flying in MOS was awesome. Felt like there was power behind it.

Haha, that was good, too. Music, timing, and all.

Slightly OT:

I never understood Superman's flying ability.

How did he propell himself? He was bound to Earth's gravity like anyone else, so it's impossible for him to fly without some sort of propulsion or aerodynamic mechanism.

He had no wings. He had no internal anti-gravitational, uh...thing.

So, he just WILLS himself to leave the ground and remain airborne for as long as he wants.

It's so stupid.

Sorry, just felt like sharing.
 
The flying in MoS was one of the most disappointing parts of the film. Apart from a few shots (his first take off, flying past the camera in space) it's just a tiny blurry CGI guy flying across a CGI background. I wasn't flying with Superman, I was watching some computer animation move across the screen in blurry, shakey cam fashion. Iron Man 1's flight with the jet does it so much better. This doesn't include Han Zimmers score, which is goosebump inducing.
 
This is probably the billionth time it's been said but god damn TDK changed the fucking game for me. That movie is so consistent and the cast is so well-performed it fucking hurts. Saw it 4 times during it's theatrical release and many other times since then but I literally only saw TDKR twice since it came out. And I like TDKR.

Thats just one scene,

Has anything Marvel made you care as much as this one scene? ( I like cinematic Marvel by the way, just not a lot of their stuff)
Click to expand...

Lol I don't think that scene is very charismatic.

But even if that scene was a supposed to be a very powerful moment, it feels TOTALLY out of place compared to what happened before. That scene might have worked if they spent a good chunk of time establishing that Clark feels very strongly against killing, but they never did that afaik. Or you know he could have superpushed him out of the building :P

Wait, really? I've seen that movie 3 times and never made that connection. Are you sure?
Click to expand...

Yea, I'm sure. It's not directly said but that's sort of Snyder's issue most times is he puts something in that's fine and makes sense but no one really gets it.

A prime example of this is Lois falling while the singularity is sucking everything else up. There's a reason for that but Snyder or Goyer whoever the hell you want to blame never directly tells you what that reason is.

Clark actually doesn't care about his secret identity until the end of the movie. After the Smallville fight Lois shows up at his house (where Martha is). She yells out "Clark!" while he is in costume and the cop that brought her there is standing right behind her out of his car. I believe Snyder mentioned at some point that Clark's "secret" was kind of a town secret. He'd helped so many of them at some point that they have protected his identity.

Superman's strong enough to snap Zod's neck but not strong enough to just move his head away from the people in danger.

The Dark Knight trilogy in general.

It's the reason why this film is going to be so successful at the box office (it's going to clear a billion with ease), but also people are going to hold this film to very high standards. Snyder has a lot to live up to following Nolan.

It looks like he can generate an anti-gravitational field, when he takes off in MoS rocks fly around his fist.

If you're looking an actual explanation, that's part of the fantasy and is futile.

TDK is just an okay movie. heath ledger's joker performance elevates the whole thing

Despite some people's middling reactions the one constant seems to be that batman is great in this so I doubt he fucked him up.

Need that batsolo asap

I liked parts like you show, but they are different than the Supergirl gif, or old school movies. I think the reboot even had some of this, where you feel like your flying with him. I don't know, I'm explaining it shitty. I don't hate the flying in MoS, but there's something off about it at times.

Donner's Superman is shit. Sorry.

He can fly because he's Superman
 
Well the reviews at least seem to indicate they think it's better than Man of Steel. I'd never been so bored during a superhero movie before.

The spectacle alone should at least make it more appealing. But yeah, seems like it might be yet another divisive Snyder movie.

Why did we give him the DCU again?
 
The Dark Knight is a great movie that did have a game changing effect on comic book movies, but in reality Ledger's performance and his character's writing carry the movie and help cover up that the plot gets a bit weak in the second act and a bunch of characters do some really puzzling things that just magically happen to all work together because plot magic.

pretty typical of Nolan films honestly

Exactly, but the other performances, as solid as they are, don't really bring the film down at all for me just because they don't reach Ledger's standard. It's a great movie because of the conflict surrounding Joker and how it challenges everyone else in the film.

I was convinced he wasn't strong enough to stop Zod strength from doing that, Zod knew it and also knew that Kal-el only real option was to snap his neck, I never had a problem with this scene logic wise (is like movie scenes with two people struggling with a handgun were the only outcome is one of the two getting shot).

Wasn't it because he's a fellow Kryptonian over anything else? No matter how shotty he was, he's one of the last of his kind.

I find it hilarious that feeling bad about killing someone has to be established. That's a pretty standard human reaction.
 
Reeve is superman. No one else will ever be superman.
That being said...
Turning back time by rotating the earth back, that's wack.
Superman having fillings in his mouth, that's wack.
I wish Reeve was around to be superman in these new movies. And that Donner made another one with him. With current tech, he'd have made an even greater superman.

That is if he didn't make Superman throw his S again. Y'all acting like this never happened:

I still can't put a finger on it to this day, but I remember walking out of TDK thinking it was good but not life changing like some thought. I like almost everything in that movie, but for some reason I don't like it as much as Batman Begins. Over the years, it's grown on me, but I really think the ferry scene grinds that movie to a halt in the worst way possible.

I felt exactly the same. It felt cold to me or something? Now I love it for Ledger alone.

The ending of Begins gives me chills every damn time.

Joker was the movie pretty much. With a performance as great as that I could not care less about plot holes or whatever you call it.
