At least we have our title I guess (presuming they do settle for Justice League).
No, this next film won't be a JLA film, the following one will. MoS2 will someway set up the adventure that we'll see in the actual JL film, whenever that comes. There's news that Snyder may be directing MoS2 and the projected JL film back-to-back, so maybe we'll see it sooner rather than later.
If they were shooting back-to-back that would have been decided on and announced by now.
I completely bloody misread it! Thanks for pointing it out @0Brady. To be fair, with all the characters in the upcoming sequel, it may as well just be Justice League!
One film was bad enough but three?! I wish him all the luck in the world. I think he'll need it.
I liked it too. I'm going to revisit it very soon, in fact.
"Spend two-and-a-half hours watching a guy mope around, then put on a stupid outfit, after you watch his father kick ass for ten minutes."
Seriously, badass Jor-El was the best part of the movie.
MOS heeded the call of complaints received from Superman Returns, and that earned it a ton of brownie points from me right off the bat.
Thought it was great. Genuinely underrated. Good story, consistent, coherent, well told. Yeah, the finale was a little indulgent, but on the whole I thought it presented a decent vision of a character whose humanity is difficult to convey on screen.
Plus, the moment at the end when Superman is faced with either killing Zod or letting him live on and make earth the new Krypton is excellent. How Superman sacrifices any chance of a future Krypton by snapping Zod's neck and therefore killing the last remnant of his planet and choosing earth instead is poetic in epic proportions. I also love how Zod was born and bred to be a warrior, and his fight to create a new Krypton on earth is interesting, because you understand why he is doing what he is doing; it's what he was created for. Then you have Superman as the foil of him, who defies the laws of his planet and as Jor-El says, becomes something else other than what was envisioned for him. On top of that you have Superman with his two dads, one biological and the other a surrogate of sorts, and his fight to fit in on earth despite the fact that he feels like he is just pretending to be John's son and nothing more. I hope they continue this theme in MoS2, as Batman/Bruce has a similar situation. He also lost his biological parents but found guardianship with the same amount of love in Alfred, as Superman found in Martha and John Kent. I like MoS for these reasons alone, and appreciate the depth of storytelling.
However, Lois "Pulitzer Prize" Lane saying the word "tinkle" cannot be forgiven.
So, what JLA members do you all want to see on the big screen? Flash, Martian Manhunter, a Green Lantern, Hawkman, Hawkgirl?
I guess it would be nice to see Darkseid or Mongul come to Earth and threaten a tulip. It'd be refreshing.
*planet. :))
And as excited as I am for this movie, it's a shame they never did a 'Batman vs Superman' in the late 80's or early 90's
:(( G*ddamnit, why couldn't this have happened?!?!?!
Not sure that's fair. DC allowed Nolan to craft 'the' comic book trilogy of this generation. I think what Marvel have done is, on the whole, awesome. But in terms of relevance, longevity, impact - Nolan's Bat trilogy destroys Marvel. As for DC's impending JL universe, who knows? I'm imagining DC aren't too fussed given that Supes and Bats are the most famous comic characters of all time, period.
I don't think the public opinion is as drastic as you convey. I certainly enjoyed the film more than any other Superman film I've seen.
You'd be surprised. Most of my friends disliked it, myself included. But I'd say 75% of the online community disliked it.
I don't think it's that high at all, but I also don't expect anything less from the internet sect of the world. These are the same people that tweet about eating a sandwich or making coffee and expect others to give a flying crap, so I wouldn't be shocked if they couldn't wrap their heads around a thematic storyline about being an outcast in an unfamiliar land, and the struggles of finding identity.
Yeah I liked it, all my friends liked it- even my one friend who hated Superman likes him now after seeing it.
I can't wait to see him tango with Bats
The 1978 Richard Donner film did it waaaaaaaaaaay better. And MOS was the first ever Superman flick I saw.
I feel like I saw that movie in my CRIB, lol
