My Question:Dear General ZOD,
I find myself wondering what your opinion is on gay marriages and abortion. I am sure that you will have the solution that Planet Houston has been searching for. You seem to come from a "Sexually liberated" planet, as demonstrated by your devotion to your sadistic, wild eyed girlfriend and furry, "monkey man" sidekick. Us on Planet Houston can only wonder what happens in the glorious bedroom of General ZOD, but since you never seem to have time to take off your pajamas, it must be exhausting. I await your superior advice on this confusing subject...
Zod's Response: What I do not understand is why matters such as marriage of any sexes would concern a slave who should be doing nothing but kneeling in tribute to me! It appears as though you will soon discover my opinion on abortion, however, for I have just decided to abort your life! DIE AS YOU DESERVE TO!

Totally different types of superheroes from totally different publishing houses? That might have something to do with it.

Granted I have no idea what he thinks of previous Superman films.

Bosworth is one of the worst alltime castings, ever. She's terrible and terrible for the role. Her kid is also dismal. The plot is miserable, a total Hollywood moneygrab with ZERO creativity. Parker Posey is okay, Spacey is fine. The fake Christopher Reeve is passable. The Daily Planet riffing is gawdawful and absymally tired.
The opening title sequence is the bomb, because that music will never cease to be awesome. It's the only thing they got right.

seriously, this film sucks. I wanted to like it, but in the face of both Spidermans and Batman Begins, this is unbelievably bad. ZERO dramatic tension in the script, zero chemistry between any of the actors. there is no soul to this one. Yes, some of the action scenes are well done, but any movie above $200M has the CGI firepower to do that. A by-the-book disaster.

I'm just over giving comic movies a pass because they blew a load on CGI. Anyone with a budget can do killer action scenes now, and the ground that Spidey/Batman plowed leaves a huge trench for Superman to fill. The storyline isn't compelling at all. The only suprise is the XXXXXXXX and that was so fumbled I can barely take it. Really, I want to root for this film but just can't in any way.

I think that Superman and Lois only ever did IT once, in the Fortress of Solitude, in Superman II, after he asked his mom to take away his powers so that he could be normal and get beat up in truck stops like anyone else.Also, the Smallville conceit is that the superpowers didn't really develop until puberty (something about accumulation of solar energy), so Krypto-fetus would be safe for human uterus.
Re: the whole movie

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Saturday, 1 July 2006 17:37 (nineteen years ago)
And is it just me, or was everything about Lois Lane just wrong? A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who can't spell "catastrophic," has to get her fiance to butter up her boss, and has a tantrum when she can't cover the story she wants? Lame. Also the "mommy should I stay in the car?" "NO OF COURSE NOT COME INTO THE MYSTERIOUS SHIP WITH ME" was pretty, um, hilarious.
The best thing about the whole movie was the Spider-Man 3 trailer.
― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Saturday, 1 July 2006 18:23 (nineteen years ago)
The spelling thing is a throwback to Margot Kidder's Lois, who was a poor speller (in times of stress, like when she was trapped under the elevator of the Eiffel Tower in Supes II, she welled spell words out loud). I know plenty of reporters/writers/journalists who can't spell. It's almost a common trait.
― Huk-L (Huk-L), Saturday, 1 July 2006 22:43 (nineteen years ago)
I didn't really fault her for wanting to cover the blackouts (esp. since it was actually an EMP, not just a blackout), she was just so damn whiney about it when she was told to cover Superman instead. I mean, it wasn't like she built her CAREER on him or anything. Also I really would have preferred it if Lois was truly "over" Superman instead of being a sulky vindictive bitch about it.

i watched 2 1/2 minutes of larry king live yesterday (more than enough, thank you) and there was a moment when larry complemented spacey on his "understated performance" and spacey looked sort of flabbergasted and said, "really? i thought you could see my mugging from outer space" and larry--clearly not used to being contradicted on such a fine point--sort of stumbled around saying "oh, but such a fine performance" while spacey and singer shot glances at each other that clearly translated to "can you believe this idiot?"
also: larry asks singer "what do you think about the whole 'superman is gay' thing?" singer: "he's not." larry: "yes, but what do you THINK about it?"
it's amazing that larry keeps this up day after day and still somehow manages to pull the most high-profile guests of pretty much anyone.
anyway, the movie was pretty good, i was moved in spots, but that was partly because parts of the score (not the john williams parts) resembled copland's score to "the heiress." also because the basic lois/superman setup is touching, although i'm not sure where it was supposed to be by the end. she clearly still loves him, she bore his child--has he simply exiled himself from romance?

The first half of the movie is really good (basically up until they decided to faff about spending all of their time with Luthor's nonsensical, visually-unappealling plot and Lois meandering around aimlessly)! But anyway the plane crash! The shootout! Brandon Routh and whoever played Jimmy Olsen are awesomely, awesomely casted; Routh is terrific. And I think this is the first time Marsden has been even remotely sympathetic in a film, ever.
But the second half :(
THERE IS NOT EVEN A SUPERVILLIAN MONOLOGUE! How do any of you enjoy the villiains in this movie :(

The strange concept that seems to exist in Hollywood that all comic books are liked by the same people (you know, "comic book fans") and can all receive the same treatment is going to wear itself out eventually. The treatment you give the X-Men or Spiderman is not the same treatment that will work with Superman. He's a completely different entity. That is probably why I enjoyed the first half sooooooooo much more, it had all the makings of turning into a totally fun, awesome Superman movie and instead turned into a Bryan Singer film.

Superman Meets Brainiac a treatment by Huk-L
CHAPTER ONE: THE SEARCH FOR KRYPTON!Following the events of Superman II, astronomer Milton Fine (WINK WINK) discovers radio waves emanating from deep space in what appears to be KRYPTONIAN. Superman, feeling more alone in the universe than ever before (thanks to Phantom Zone villains dust-up and the Rho-Kryp-nolisation of Lois) sets out to discover if there might be more survivors.After some seemingly random encounters with Space Princesses and Vartox, Superman arrives in the asteroid field created by the decimation of Krypton. Weakened by the massive Kryptonite radiation, he drifts, nearly comatose, through the cosmos.CHAPTER TWO: THE BOTTLE CITY!Then, his SUPER-HEARING picks up a faint trace of KRYPTONIAN radio signals. Following them, he discovers BRANIAC, who has captured the former Kryptonian capital city of Kandor and reduced it in size and placed it in a bottle.After a shocking battle with Braniac and his SPACE MONKEY WITH KRYPTONITE VISION (WINK WINK), Superman is shrunk and confined to Kandor. Though Jor-El's crystals have given Superman knowledge of Kryptonian language and culture, he persecuted for his EARTHLINESS by the Kandorians, who, in light of being CITYNAPPED AND SHRUNK, have become understandably xenophobic. He is held as a political prisoner.CHAPTER THREE: SUPER STIR CRAZYAfter Superman and several FREEDOM-LOVING prisoners outwit the corrupt prison officials in a bizarre rodeo hoodwink (featuring the digitally manipulated ghost of Richard Pryor, WINK WINK), Superman rallies the Kandorians to rise up against Braniac!CHAPTER FOUR: TINY TITANS TRIUMPHANT!Superman leads an army of miniaturized Super Soldiers against Braniac. SPACEMONKEY kills a bunch of them, but eventually they win. However, in the battle, the shrink-ray-reversal-device is destroyed. The tiny Kandorians set up to create New Krypton on a baseball discovered floating through space, which is not only proportionally the size of a decent planet, but is ONE OF THE BASEBALLS YOUNG SUPERMAN THREW INTO SPACE AS A KID. They ask Superman to stay and be their leader. He declines and they build him a tiny spaceship to go back to Earth.THE END
Then, in SUPERMANT RETURNS, Superman gets to all the things he did in the current movie, only first he has to go get unshrunk by Prof. Ray Palmer, WINK WiNK.

If I was to make a Superman flick, I'd make the villain Mr. Mxyzptlk and go for a wacky comedy feel. Remember how much you laughed when you first saw the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man rampaging through Manhattan? That's the vibe. Luthor can come in for a bit to be truly evil and menacing, just to raise the stakes enough for a big finale. Super can't muscle his way out, so plays them against each other and wins because he's gooder and nicer than the mean bullies, smiles and winks at the screen, then flies away. THE END
Never happen, of course.

1. Routh practically perfect in the main role. I was astonished at how well he came out of this, I went in expecting something ok and he was decidedly better than that - a real feel for the Clark/Supes split and some very elegant physicality to the flying/landing/lifting impossibly heavy stuff.
2. Supporting cast also OTM. Spacey was mean as fuck and I know he was just doing his thesp thing, but I thought it was fine. Cannot understand the Posey flack here, she was spot on and tremendously costumed throughout. Even Bosworth cut the mustard.
3. Given the length I almost wished it was longer - not a dull moment, compared to the repeated yawnfest I got in POTC2. There was probably too little of Luthor's plot and I really wondered how they'd resolve the "huge landmass off the coast" issue, so when they did in the most obvious way possible I was delighted.
4. The whole thing looked *gorgeous* - impeccable FX work and the cinematography was stunning at times - particularly liked the repeated framing to make Superman appear tiny in relation to his surroundings. These new Genesis cameras be da bomb.
5. The big set pieces were SO good. The plane/shuttle crash, the yacht rescue and the final Atlas lift - fuckin' A all round. And like a chump, when Superman fell back to earth after his final endeavour and started to glow on re-entry I felt strangely choked up. Wish there had been more of young Supes, but oh well.
Bottom line, it was huge fun and I'd watch it again tomorrow.

apart from bryan singer who is obv useless i also blame alex ross, the major inspiration for lots of the images in this flick

Just saw this. I refused to see it when it came out because to me the original Superman movies are what the Star Wars movies seem to be to everyone else, and I couldn't stand them ruining it.But, it was pretty awesome in the first half, I loved all the references to previous films and the plane crash etc. Then right after they did the crowbarred-in 'flying Lois over USA' scene it went completely downhill. The Lex-continent should have been amazing but no-one really batted an eyelid. Kate Bosworth pretty much made this film 10000 times worse, she looked like a 9-year-old playing dress-ups (reminded me of Jodie Foster in Bugsy). Superman looked and sounded the part but got hardly any lines or character or anything. :(

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman_(film_series)#Future
Warner Bros. is currently planning to reboot the film series. With the financial and critical success of The Dark Knight, Warners said of the reboot Superman film, "We're going to try to go dark to the extent that the character allows it."[57] Legendary Pictures president Thomas Tull said "Superman needs a powerful antagonist, a worthy opponent".[58] Tull also wants to evoke Superman as an "angry God".[59]

Routh was fine, though hardly great. Problem was the film around him: script, direction, tone, cast, etc. "Reboot go dark" seems like a moron's response to The Dark Knight's success, but the character's durable, and I don't see how they could do any worse than Singer.

Well, if they're doing more of them they need to sort out exactly what's happening in the 'current' Superman world. What's up with the Kryptonite - in the first one if it was in a box near him it made him weak as a baby. Now a whole continent of Kryptonite doesn't affect him til he tries to use his powers and he can still fly around etc unless he has it stabbed into him. Also why didn't he lock the back door of his crystal palace if it was so bad for Luthor to nick the crystals.
Pretty sure Lois had cottoned on to the Clark/Superman thing at least once per film, although my memory is failing and I think he managed to cunningly trick her each time. Clark needs to actually do some stuff as Clark that should include making ludicrous excuses for rushing off and ripping his shirt off.
All superhero films are 'going dark', they should resist it with Superman.
