I certainly hope so, but I was FAR more interested in what he did with The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker than his Superman movie (though I'm seeing it on Thursday).

Just read a little bit about the Snyderverse fan backlash (that I didn’t really know existed) over the new film. I can’t even fathom how much of an absolute loser you’d have to be to get mad, like really MAD about something as inconsequential as a Superman movie.

Why is he wearing a thermal underwear sweater? Is he cold?
And why does the actor look so un-Superman-like? He looks more like the kind of thug who would bully Clark Kent at Smallville High. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...aa62d3ed49.jpg |
Re: Superman (2025, D: Gunn)
Pretty sure that's an edit and not the official poster.

Re: Superman (2025, D: Gunn)
I have my tickets for Friday afternoon. Can’t wait.
I’ve tried to avoid everything but the trailers. I think it will be good. |

Going out with friends tonight. Got the tickets through that Amazon Prime access. Looking forward to it.

Re: Superman (2025, D: Gunn)
85% at RT so far. Reviews say its fun, colorful, action packed, plenty of heart. Online reviews are skewering very positive. Seeing it tonight. CANNOT WAIT. :up:

1 more hour to go!

Re: Superman (2025, D: Gunn)
I've lost all interest in this well before the hypno-glasses scene was released. I'll still watch it when I remember to, it just looks so bad to me now.

Re: Superman (2025, D: Gunn)
Jeremy Jahns didn't care for it. He hated the James Gunn misplaced humor. Emotional points don't get to settle because here comes James Gunn with his stupid misplaced humor! Also bad CGI in some spots.

I haven't seen it, so didn't want to go into the spoiler thread. Good looking out, though. :thumbsup:

Re: Superman (2025, D: Gunn)
Slither is the only James Gunn film I like. It’s the only
film I’ve enjoyed his “humor” in as well. Alas positive reviews and Superman will still get me to the cinema to see this. |
Re: Superman (2025, D: Gunn)
Loved it. LOVED it. Not a perfect movie, but a fucking great one. 4/5 easy. As I've said before, Gunn understood the assignment. This had heart, humor, action, developed characters, emotional payoffs, everything you want from a Superman movie. I thought some of the violence was a bit much (not dark or evil or awful but maybe over-the-top at times) and at times I felt the story felt a bit meandering, but only to the point where I was thinking "OK but where is this going" but no worries; Gunn managed to tie it all in and make it work in a massively satisfying and summer popcorn movie fashion.
Every character was outstanding. Gunn made Jimmy Olsen not just cool, but fun, funny, and useful. Lois was fantastic. Perry too, even in a small role. Guy Gardner was top notch, Hawkgirl was kickass, and GIVE ME A MR. TERRIFIC MOVIE RIGHT NOW. Oh and Supes? Best since Reeves. Believable, likeable, relatable, fun, funny, noble, heroic, and everything. As an old-school Superman fan, I'm extremely happy right now. This was great. Bring on the rest of the DCU |
Re: Superman (2025, D: Gunn)
Seeing it on Friday in IMAX. Looking forward to it as Supes is my favorite superhero.

Really great start to the New DCU Just nuts that people are still in thread complaining about a movie before and probably might never see it for ... reasons |

It was great pretty much from start to finish and he had his hands all over that. Happy to see all the positive reviews for Superman so far. Though people here seem to give high praise to a lot of movies I personally don't end up liking so I will have to temper my expectations. But all the praise has at least made me want to see it in the theater now instead of waiting. |

Re: Superman (2025, D: Gunn)
And on social media and YouTube, anyone who keeps posting positive reviews for this movie is being labeled as a paid off shill. And the actual film critics are pretty pissed off.
"And any journalist who got to interview Gunn and the cast is also being called out as a "Shill" because they got "special access" |
Re: Superman (2025, D: Gunn)
Oh, and don't bother with the mid and post-credit sequences. They're cute but not essential (or revelatory) by any means.

Oh, and for the record: Metropolis is officially in a US State! (Seen multiple times in the movie, but confirmed by Gunn). The great state of

Local AMC has interesting showings …
2:45 IMAX 3D 6:00 IMAX Opening Night 9:00 Filmed for IMAX Any idea if that last one is anything special? |

Alright fair enough. If it’s just fluff, then I’ll bail. |

People didn't hate his universe because it was Snyder. They hated it because it sucked, and they were massively disappointed. And it just kept getting worse. I have zero doubt if it had been good, the Snyderverse would still be going strong. Everyone I knew LOVED 300. They didn't hate it because Snyder did it. It was loved because it was good. It was enjoyable. It was well made. The same can't be said for most all of his DC output. And this is coming from someone who will freely admit he likes most of Sucker Punch. And everyone seems to resoundingly hate that movie. :lol: |
