You can't tell by my comment that I've seen it. 
I feel sad all of a sudden. Anyway, my favorite part would have to be him saving the plane with Lois in it. I think it's well-worth seeing. So there. |

| I saw it last night. Not at the I max like I wanted to... The movie was okay at best. The action was good, but then again it's hard to eff that up. I wasn't impressed with anything though. As I said I don't like super man. And this movie went ahead with everything I don't like about him. He's one dimensional. He had no character development what-so-ever. Super hero movies like batman begins, spiderman, even xmen had at least some. Hell, even Daredevil did. | |||

| Heh, it's funny you should voice your dislike for Superman. I was doing a little looking into Superman's shrinking popularity, and I've noticed that the more tortured, angst-ridden, dysfunctional the hero, the more people love him. Supes is just too perfect. Nothing hurts him (expect kryptonite, but hey he always seems to find a way around that).
It's like the arguments people had with Hellsing. OK, nothing hurts Alucard. Booooooring. Just look at the old Superman cartoons: There's trouble. Lois finds said trouble. Superman saves Lois and subsequently the world along with her. Everyone says, "Thank you, Superman!" It's all the same and people don't like that. People don't like that the man of steel just isn't human enough. Then again, there are always those people who'll back a winner. |

| It's not the angst i'm attracted too....(I hate Sasuke so that can't be it.) It's more of the substance. I want to see more than one side of a super hero. Especially if they're overpowered and have virtually no weakness except a slight allergy to an obscure crystal.
My friend and I got in an argument over him. (Haha, mature right?) She said he's unique. I said he's the poster boy of all superheroes, he's far from unique. She's like "Well, his disguise is Clark Kent. He really is superman. Unlike Batman who wears a disguise to be a superhero. Superman is unique." So I say: "Oh...yeah. That makes him unique. Even though mos t of the Xmen have to disguise themselves to fit in." And we keep it going from there. (Last edited by Machiavellism on 07-13-06 07:42 PM) |

| I don't know, I mean ... I like 500 Superhero's more than Superman. But like you said, he is somewhat the poster boy of superhero's. And that's kind of the reason why I like him a bit.
It's just like "Well, I kind of have to like him. He's the original, he's been around for longer than others. And just an example of a classic simple hero." My opinion still stands on this movie however, I thought it rocked. I don't worship Superman, but looking at it as just another movie, it was solid. More enjoyable than X3 is you ask me ... But Batman Begins? Nothing has even come close to beating that movie out in my opinion. But, we will see if that remains true when Spiderman 3 comes out ... (I can't put into words how excited I am). |

Originally posted by Machiavellism She stole her argument from Kill Bill Volume 2. 
It's what Bill said to explain why Beattrix Kiddo shouldn't hide who she is. Anyway, yeah, the X-Men have to hide who they are too. Supes is nothing special on that front. But back to my previous argument, it's not necessarily the angst that I was saying made a character more interesting, but it's one of many reasons why people prefer heroes who aren't perfect or completely invincible. We like to see someone fight to the finish, fighting tooth and nail with every breath. But with Superman, hell... he can just stand there, yawn and then maybe take out the bad guy when he feels like it. How interesting is that. It's like watching a baseball game where the pitcher threw nothing but no-hitters. There's no fun in that. Then again, not many people are into baseball any more. |

| Her sn is Beattrixxx Kiddo. I shoulda known....
Yeah, that's the way I am. I like to see some conflict, whether it be internal or physical that troubles the hero. |

well, I didnt get to see superman in Imax 
my mom drove me and my friend all the way to SF, which took almost 2 hours, then something went wrong with her brakes, so we had to go back. Then she said to make it up to us she would rent us a game, but then she changed her mind. I felt so toyed with that day... O and then later that day I returned a game I had bought the previous day, Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows, because we beat it in one fucking night. I got Star Wars Jedi Academy, and Deus Ex: Invisible war. When I popped in Star Wars, it didn't work, because there was tons of shit on the disc. I felt so toyed with again. I felt like a toy that had broken, so they threw it away, then while I was at the dump, a hobo found me and used me as a sex toy. Thats right, I felt like a hobo's love toy... And back on subject, there is an Imax here in L.A. (im visiting my grandparents) so I'll prolly see it there. |

| Wow... uhm... that's unfortunate.
There are several IMAX theaters here. One of the more frequented is the Irvine Spectrum. One of the best noted theaters is the Arclight in Hollywood. They have a sound system that could beat any other theater and is the most ideal place to see any blockbuster. Superman is visually stunning enough that I think it would be worth it to see it at the Arclight. |
