But still better than MoS in my humble opinion.. Light hearted moments work in favour of Superman Returns. I think Routh did well, but suffered because he was the first one to play Superman after the great Chris reeves. Remember George Lazenby? No?... He was the one who first replaced Sean connery as James bond. He hasn't been heard of since, either. But now, people consider On her majesty's secret service one of the best bond films ever.. They wish Lazenby had continued.. Something similar is happening here.. May be 20 years later, Routh will be recognised as a potentially great Superman :)
[Off-topic] cnjax:
Have not seen that opinion about the bond movies here in the states. My favorite bonds are connery moore and Bronson. Just can't see any generation in the future liking superman returns:p

And I do agree Christopher Reeves was the best superman so far

What you talking about :what::confused::p

Parker posey was not Lois Lane. But she would have made a good Lois lane instead of the one that played her.

But your right normally Kevin Spacey is brilliant. He didnt get much chance to show that on this.

Check out , Swimming with Sharks and American Beauty some of my favourite Spacey films. ;)

Wrooooonggggg!

(famous Kevin Spacey line:D:p)

You are nuts. If you really think Superman Returns is better.:what::confused: Diffinatley in the minority on that. :D;)

I rewatched MOS again and it was a better experience 2nd time round now the hype was gone.

Henry Cavil has way more Carisma then Brandon. The 007 comparison just doesn't work here.

Lazenby did his own thing and wasnt trying to be like Sean.

Where Brandon was just doing a imitation of Reeves.

He didnt have great Screen presence. He was okay dont get me wrong but a bit wet and boring.

He might have improved in a sequel but we will never know and im glad they didn't. Bloody superman and son. :eek::rolleyes: WTF

The film was just trying to be the Donner series. Its time to get over it and move on. It just mimicked what Donner set up and didnt dare to experiment and take risks (well apart from that stupid little one which makes Sups kind of a date rapists because in Superman 2 he slept with Lois and then made her forget witj magic :rolleyes:kiss:D:p)

Imagine if Batman Begins was just trying to continue the Burton films. As much as I love them its dated and thank god they dared to try something new.

The one thing I agree on is there can be more lightness and humour but I dont agree with Jeetu saying there was no humour whats so ever its there in parts.

Remember we dont want to go into to much humor territory alas IM3 :rolleyes::D:p

But there could perhaps been slightly more then there was. But the Humour mainly comes from the Clark Kent reporter scenario which there was no opportunity in this movie to do. Hopefully in the sequel.

Chris Reeves is the best but only because he had the chance to play both Superman and CK (daily planet version)

Lets see what Henry Does. He looks the most like the Man of Steel out of the Comics then all of them.

This basically summerises best how I feel about the movie right now after 2nd viewing.

Red, I appreciate your opinion but I will still stick to my guns :) I know which film I liked better and that's superman returns.. Even if routh emulated reeves, he did well.. I am not saying cavill is bad. Just that he doesn't get much scope to prove how good he is. We hardly get to know him as a character. Batman and Superman are two very different characters and what worked for one won't necessarily work for the other.

Btw, speaking of soundtracks I like the score of inception.. :)

Watched World War Z last night.

First I didn't even understand why was this named a WORLDWAR movie. There is NO WAR. The story is about Zombies.

But If you like zombie movies, don't bother with this movie! It has nothing in common with zombie movies except that it happens that when the virus kills humans they start spreading the virus by biting.

So, for an avid zombie lover, the movie is an absolute disappointment. I hate zombie movies. In fact, I didn't want to go just because I was told it was a zombie movie. But I was seriously bored and I thought "Come on, cut Brad some slack. The guy is very careful with his choices". So I went mainly or the pop corn, but I was blown away by the movie.:p

Incredible camera work! Solid script. As usual with Hollywood for the past decade or more, scripts are not as good as used to be so I gave this one 8 out ten, missing two points as the some tiny bits in the script could have been better.

Watched Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter.

It was a fun, leave your brain at the door type film. Could have done with some more humour, and more of Henry as he was a much better charactor.

If you enjoyed Van Helsing or Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters then you're likely to enjoy this, although it's not as good as either of them.

Not one to buy, but one to watch for free when it comes on telly.

Hansel and Gretal was okay and quite gory Supprisingley .

Any one seen VHS 2?

Its this generations equivalent of a horror anthology.

I saw it the other day. It was alright. Had some few decent stories.

I would say its slightly better then the first one but not by much.

All the stories are wrapped around a rather weak main story.

Still nothing comes close to 80s horror like creepshow. For those that remember :D;)

Also saw World War Z the other day. It was a solid film for what it was. For a pg13 film it did have a lot of tension and a few typical jump moments but a good film nevertheless :):thumbup:

I still would have preferred to have seen a hbo 13 part series based off the book with The Walking Dead type zombies with blood and gore. But that will not happen now thanks to this film :rolleyes:

I watched that on the commute today.

About an hour into it I looked at my watch and saw only 5 minutes had passed.

For those of you who haven't had the insomnia curing displeasure of this film, Kirsten Stewert plays a human sized gormless emaciated rabbit (I think they had used the special effects up on other things in the film and only managed to make her look gaunt and stupid with big teeth but no flopsy ears) who is mistaken for the fairest woman in the land (we never get to find out who really is the fairest woman in the land) while "stuff" happens around her and she shows us her great acting skills (please ignore the frequent dropping of her accent) by giving a "rousing" speech, and we know it's meant to be "rousing" because she randomly shouts/shrieks some of the words in it.

Yeah just saw Evil Dead as well and... Not really sure what to think. Pretty much the whole movie I kept going why the hell am I still watching this? I skipped parts after about and hour and 15 or so in. I mean.. The CGI and props were awesome, just the satanic cult usage was pretty interesting. Characters were dull as hell like most movies these days. Hmm again I just don't know what to think.. It was okay but like Red said nothing special. The CGI and Props were holding this movie together honestly.

Lol to make matters worse as I was watching this at 3am finally after its finished I remove my headset and then get on and turn Netflix on.

After about a minute in this horrible noise spewed from my laptop, a loud very loud beep that went on and off for about two minutes and a crackling noise. Scared me more than the movie :o

Only God Forgives. From Nicolas Winding Refn, the Director that made Drive. It has the same dark and moody feel and is maybe even more prone to bouts of intense violence than Drive. There's a surreal, nightmare quality about the movie that's reminiscent of David Lynch films. Maybe not to everyone's tastes, but i liked it. 7/10.

I finally started watching Firefly. Great story. Reminds me a lot of what the setting would be in a live action Cowboy Bebop. But I had two questions. Does the movie Serenity have the same sh#tty production value? And did y'all get as tired of the Captain character as I am?

Side note to Adam Baldwin. Please for the love of god go live on the streets of Detroit and get a lil toughened up. All you ever play is muscled up meat head. I never believe your character. In Chuck I finally got used to it and got over it. But please for your next role, act a lil meaner.

Oblivion? Seriously? I have heard nothing but crappy reviews about it
[Off-topic] Dirk:
I tried watching Firefly through again recently and couldn't make it past the first couple of episodes. I don't really know why it's remembered so fondly by people or why there was such an outcry over it's cancellation. It's a bit naff!

Adam Baldwin does faux hard really well though, but in reality i could take him. :D

It was demoted. :D

I was thinking 8 but then decided Drive was an 8, and that was maybe the better movie overall.

I'm there. Oblivion was 5/10 at best. Watch it if you're bored and have seen everything else ever made.

I've been waiting with great anticipation to see Mud though. I've got it at home and will be watching it tonight. I've become a fan of Jeff Nichols after seeing Take Shelter and Shotgun Stories, both movies that i've really enjoyed. From what i hear, Mud doesn't disappoint either.

For Korean cinema fans, New World is a good movie that was released this year. I liked it. 8/10.

A couple of random ones. Margaret i quite liked. I've seen the theatrical release although i hear the extended version is better. I have that at home but haven't watched it yet. 7/10. Also, The Virgin Suicides. Sofia Coppola's beautifully shot drama. It has one of James Woods better performances. 8/10

The Last Ocean and Chasing Ice are two documentary films that will appeal to fans of that genre. The latter particularly has some epic cinematography. 7/10 and 9/10 respectively.

Edit: Almost forgot both the Danny Boyle films i watched recently, Trance and Sunshine. Aside from the awful score, Trance was interesting and full of twists and turns that pay off in the final act. Sunshine was better than i thought it would be too and visually stunning. 8/10 for both.
