I can't think of a single good movie under 1:40hrs right now... Maybe 12 angry men, but recent movies? None.

My top 10 movies list is entirely made of movies 2hrs+

Maybe I'm a special case, because I'm a total TV series freak. I'm used to "live" with characters for DOZENS of hours. I can't feel emotionally invested in a movie that lasts less than 2 episodes of my shows.

I can understand why the typical movie hero is big and strong, but in the case of Superman it has never made sense. I mean the guy can pick up a mountain in one hand and carry it over to a volcano and gently drop it in the top with meticulous precision. What kind of excersise could he possibly do to build muscle. If anything I would think his muscles would have atrophied.

Yeah, and to fly? Where are his jet engines? In his ass?

I once saw a gif of Henry Cavill's ass. It was glorious.

1) I trust you, given your current icon.

2) You are not answering the question at all. Were there flames coming out of it, or something ?




(Edit: i would be extremely disappointed if pictures of superman's naked ass only showed a little propeller)

I'm just going to take you word for it.




As to how Superman flies, I'm going with localized ionic thrust. Have you seen those fans that have no fan blades? It's just a big empty loop yet air gets forced through it? It's the same concept. The planet Krypton had a red sun which has a different spectrum of radiation flowing from it than our yellow sun. Superman's body soaks up the ionic radiation from our sun and can then force it back out causing thrust. It explains why his cape flutters around while in space. It could also be the reason why bullets can bounce off his chest without damaging the cloth of his suit. The bullet is not stopped by his tough skin but by a charged ionic bubble surrounding him and permeating his clothing. Although I have no explanation for how he can pull the S off of his chest, throw it at someone and have it grow and capture that person in something like giant shrink wrap.


I'm sorry, that came out way nerdier that I intended.

So basically, his anus is that kind of engine without the fan blades. But it's perfectly profiled to focus the stream of... air so he can fly.

Sounds good...

1) DC movies don't work out, unless they are Batman movies directed by Christopher Nolan that have Liam Neeson in them.

2) If Warner has no faith in the last reboot, why should we have faith in this one?

3) Superman is an inherently uninsteresting character. A protagonist needs flaws, weaknesses, and to be relatable. Superman is none of these.

Just curious if don't mind telling, where in the US do you live that you have to drive 50 miles to go to a movie theater?

You imply Dark Knight Rises was a good film? It was utter shit.

You ever seen Hills have eyes? Pretty much there :D

#3 tells me you barely know anything about Superman. He has plenty of flaws and weaknesses. And he's every bit as relatable as Batman. I have the same of chance of getting godlike powers from the sun as I do gaining billions of dollars to fund my crime fighting.

Yeah, apparently a person who knows every martial art ever created aka Batman is more relatable.

BUT, if we go back to early Superman comics, they were pretty lame in my opinion, because Superman indeed was way, way stronger than any of his foes, so he defeated them easily.

On the other hand, Spider-man got beaten by pretty much everybody, before he fought back.

I just saw it yesterday. It's a decent movie, but don't expect anything great. Then again, I didn't think Batman Begins was amazing either (which lots of people did), although Dark Knight was a high point in superhero movies for me, so I'm hoping the second Superman movie could be a similar case. In short: it's ok.

How is Michael Shannon/Zod? A good baddie can make or break a movie.
