Tomorrow I believe.
What a sad bunch of people lol.
Other than Rises, we're spot on for everything.
Yeah, he had the same issue as some of the reviewers did. Not mah Superman. He said he went in with this vision in his head, the Reeve's Superman. When it didn't, he was like, what the hell is this.
He's gone on record to say everytime he watches it, he likes it more and more. Something that I've heard quite a few people say.

Tomorrow.
For its time it was amazing but nowadays I don't think it holds up. That interpretation anyway. The first 2 movies are still quality but I find II to be super corny. The Donner cut was much better.

Those films haven't aged super well at all in terms of action and such. But they really did do some great character stuff, and Reeves is great.
Well I don't think there is much to pick from as far as Superman movies go. And Reeves was the first a lot of us were introduced to. I would say Reeves was the idealized view of Superman.

iconic as hell, and equally dated. none of those movies have aged well at all.

The first one is really good, still one of the best superhero films in my opinion but some elements are probably not going to hold up if you watch it for the first time in 2016. Still worth it for Reeves, Margot Kidder, Gene Hackman and the John Williams score.
Not necessarily a popular opinion but even though it's still very beloved, you should skip Superman 2, it doesn't have the charm of the original and the fight scenes will put you to sleep.

It's Christopher Reeve, no "S" at the end. The only Reeves Superman is George Reeves. Just sayin'.
Also, if you ask me, Superman I and Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut are excellent films. Superman II theatrical version is okay, III, and IV...not so much. Superman Returns is good.
I love Man of Steel more and more every time I watch it. I always liked it, though.

Superman 1 is great until the ending.
Even seeing it as an 8 year old, I thought "That's fucking bullshit" when Superman saves the day by spinning the world backwards and reversing time.

True story, I don't think Superman III is terrible. I wouldn't put it on any Top 10 or even 20 (possibly 30) lists but I can sit through it just fine. It has some good moments.

Superman III has its moments, but a lot of the movie doesn't make much sense, including the timeline of events. It also felt more like it was about Richard Pryor than Superman throughout a lot of it.
How does Richard Pryor go from knowing nothing about computers, to becoming a master hacker, to designing the world's most powerful super computer, in just a few days?

Lol, yea the story is chock full of really dumbass shit like that.

The original idea that Donner had for a third Superman movie was to bring in Brainiac and Supergirl.
Instead we got Richard Pryor becoming a computer genius out of nowhere, and a bad Supergirl movie.
I remember her being creepy as a kid, but...she just looks goofy now.

Same here. The transformation scene was frightening. Her zombie walk was scary too. It's been years since I've watched it, but I liked the scene where the cherry slurpee boils over and melts the ground. I thought it looked cool.

To those who plan to watch Man of Steel again, if you don't mind the guys at Collider, I would suggest having their commentary on in the background. I did it last week and it was a pretty good experience.
Lol I've been sending those Majoras Mask stills to my friend who went with me last year to get the ticket this entire weekend
I should've stayed home from work today
I watched it without having the movie on because I'm a weirdo.
Does it sync up well?
They give a countdown then screw it up but you'd only be off like half a second.
Just found it...thought it was going to be an audio commentary, not having a camera pointed at them.
I liked it because Harloff spends the whole time looking super uncomfortable with having his every move recorded.
If it was the GAF members who saw it already would have said it. They love hating on things.

I liked being behind half a second cause it allowed me to hear what they were talking about right before it popped up on the screen.
I'll say this. People who already hate this film and have formed an opinion of it before seeing it will still probably hate it after seeing it or won't see it regardless but still parrot around someone else's impressions.
But I do think WOM will be good for the most part. Of course people will have their issues with certain aspects of the movie but I think overall people will be pretty positive of this movie.
Well you've put in plenty of time defending the movie already. Some people just don't like these types of movies or don't like this particular approach to these movies or just don't like the color blue for whatever reason. Leave it be, lol. If you enjoy the movie when you see it that is literally all that matters. I've been in more BvS arguments than I can count but I've never once defended its quality. Only corrected misinformation. It's pointless to do anything else. Hell, it's kind of pointless to argue about it at all but it's natural.

any spoilers?
None.
I mean, probably most critics won't recieve the movie like he did, even I have lower expectations, but he loved it, he's almost in shock.

Dude some of us haven't watched the movie yet.

Damn, the dude loved it. He said it's "The best comic book movie to date." I definetly think this is just the rantings of a fanboy and I'm sure he is being a bit hyperbolic but dang... The Hype rises!First official review!

If Guggenhiem had his way this is exactly how it would go down.
If you guys want to deflate your hype and read a incoherently written pile of crap, here you go: (the comments are typical GAF stuff too)

Yea saying stuff like that is probably going above and beyond, but even still we've heard enough positive impressions for like a week or so now. Some negative ones, but overall consensus I think will be to go see the movie.
Telling a person to shut up, some nice journalism there. Gawker gonna Gawker,
What is this shit?
We judging people personally now? Get the fuck out of here.
It's jezebel man
He'd probably give her relationship advice >.>
I didn't find anything he said particularly offensive. I have seen people get mad during the MoS press tour when he said he acts for the money instead of the craft. I doubt that logic is uncommon in Hollywood just maybe not said very much.
I've quickly starting to learn just how terribly written that website is... RIP Gawker though, can't get Kotaku away from that garbage fast enough.
Comment sections:
Blah blah blah, movie will suck, Cavill has no talent, this movie will be worse than F4... can't believe there are idiots like this on this planet that really honestly believe this movie is trending in the direction of worse than F4.
