i disagree, i thought Superman Returns was excellent. i never thought anyone could replace Gene Hackman, but Kevin Spacey proved he was just as good, albeit different, as Lex Luthor.
the direction was superb, especially the action scenes, but we've come to expect that reliable level of excellence from the director, Bryan Singer. He's one of the best directors of our generation (AND HE GREW UP IN NEW FUCKING JERSEY).
you may have seen some of his other films... The Usual Suspects, Apt Pupil, X-Men, and X2: X-men United..
in fact, he traded X3 with Brett Ratner to do Superman Returns. Ratner, as you all know, is a shit director. the franchise killer. killed the Hannibal Lecter movies with Red Dragon, killed X-men with X3. he just sucks.
Singer, on the other hand, is brilliant, and i thought the direction they took the Superman story was very well done. hyping up the Christ imagery, which is really the best myth to use for Superman.
for Batman, Chris Nolan has been brilliant with his work... Begins and soon to come Dark Knight are playing on the best Batman story lines, with the gritty feel to the whole thing.
the biggest problem with Superman Returns was the guy they hired to play supes... he couldn't do Clark Kent to save his life.
the brilliance of Christopher Reeves as that he was really playing two separate roles, and made it believable that only glasses would conceal his identity, because his personality so, so much different.
laughing at Clark's antics, and then actually feeling a chill go up your spine, when he told Zod he'd had enough. you could feel the power in his voice.
a brilliant role.
and to be honest, i'm a little bitter. i actually tried out for the new superman movie (i was in tip top physical shape at the time) and i actually got a second call back.
i only tried out for the hell of it, cause i heard they were having open call auditions, before settling on that dumb underwear model they used.
but i would have been perfect. in many ways, my normal personality already IS clark kent, fucksakes. in fact, so many people call me "clark" as a nickname...
and i'm tall, broad shouldered, and can adopt a brooding enough look. dammit.
only real problem is my cleft chin. Batman has a cleft chin, Superman does not.

OK. First up. the worst movie I ever paid money to see in a cinema was "Vanilla Skies' with that twat Tom Cruise. The film really improved once I fell asleep in a really uncomfortable seat
Second. the Worst film I've ever seen, but was so bad is was awesome was 'Reefer Madness' - No wonder this has become a cult classic...
Third. Star Wars. Phantom menace was total shite. the second one was mildly watchable, the third one.... Well the opening sequence was what I wanted for 2 hours in every film. Proper Star Wars, but it was let down by having a more lethally protected main ship (thousands of those little flying droids that tore your fighter to shreds), than the Death Star.
Doing the first three episodes out of sync made it total bollox when it came to the space technology that GL was able to make.
I'm with Heavy Cola on his view of what a disappointment these films were, after such a long wait. I drove my Mum mad with watching Return of the Jedi over and over again. She always seemed to walk in as Han was talking to Leia on Ednor about the fact that luke was her brother.
"you love him don't you?"
"He's my brother"
She said that, in a sarcastic voice, every time she saw me watching it. Even with my mums sarcasm, nothing would stop me enjoying the final scene of x-wings and B-wings whizzing through the half finished Death star, being chased by a couple of Tie fighters.

Tim: Yes, one involves a lot of physical and psychological pain, and the other one's war.

the new one was phenomenal. everything Martin Campbell directs is great.
but you're right. the old one.. blech.
i wanna see more Bond movies -- if they're gonna actually start adapting the novels instead of making up bullshit, i'll be there opening night every single time.
i've read everything Ian Fleming ever wrote!

The Thermopolae travesty? Yes, i thougth it was going to be excellent but it turned out to be a pile of poo.
you're in Good rorm, Nap 
a "sensory feast". Yeah, it looked cool, but it there was no script. Would have been a cool silent film.OK, there were some cool quotes, but they were from Herodutus anyway-shame he didnt write the rest of it

Oh granted, no artistic or intellectual value whatsoever, but if you're up for a mindless spectacle of violence and ridiculous sex scenes...why not?suggs wrote:Napoleon Ier wrote:Really? On a purely superficial level, it was a cinematic sensory feast.suggs wrote:soka wrote:300
