5th biggest trailer views in history for 24 hours.
Brilliant animated film.
Great call back in this scene.
The Justice League fight and fight between Supes and Doomsday is insane.
Great movie one of the best Superman films.
Diana 'Take him down Clark don't hold back , or he will kill everyone'
Good luck with that request.
I am a fan of it but I'd say those criticisms are fair, especially when it comes to Pa Kent. I like the idea of a more cynical and protective version of the character - especially as the film fully commits to similar ideas across the board - but that still doesn't excuse the way his death was handled. If there was ever a perfect scenario to use your powers to save someone and for it to not be noticed, a damn tornado was it. A conceptual misstep. Unfortunate too, as Costner was great casting.
Christopher Reeve greatest Superman.
Yes, I feel that WB (and Zack Snyder and his team also deserve some blame) really messed up what should have been a stronger emotional moment. Doomsday also deserved a better treatment. Doomsday is the one villain I'd expect Zack Snyder not to screw up.
I agree with you as well. It is a generally well cast movie. The writing needed another rewrite, I agree. I also DON'T agree with David S. Goyer that the only villain(s) that they could have used were Zod and the Kryptonians. Brainiac could have easily been used. Michael Shannon still could have played him. It is strange how many filmmakers have wanted to use Brainiac as a villain in a Superman movie, but it would get cancelled. Big examples: Superman vs Superman, Superman Lives, Superman Returns 2, and lately, Man of Steel 2. It's like people want to use him, but he's as cursed as Superman is.
It truly is greatness. People say Marlon Brando was phoning it in as Jor-El. These and other scenes in the Fortress of Solitude prove otherwise. When I visited the Superman Museum in Metropolis, Illinois in the summer of 2023, the Christopher Reeve was the true goldmine of the place. As @peter will tell you, when I was there, I was a kid on Christmas.
I agree, about too much (important, at least) Superman lore into BVS.
I got II in 4K, but they don't make the 3hr TV version of the first in 4K, so I didn't get the theatrical in 4K.... II looks amazing.
I still haven't seen the longer versions of the original movie, but someday I'll get around to it. I have seen a few scenes of it at least. I look forward to seeing them all in 4K!
I also just watched Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story. As I expected to be, I was misty-eyed throughout it, and I'm really glad I got around to seeing it. For me, there just could never be a greater Superman than Reeve.
Did you get the Fortress of Solitude Steel book 4K Boxset? You will be impressed with how good the 3rd and 4th films look.
No, I’m not a big steelbook person. The prices are already high as is for standard 4Ks, and honestly I don’t care a lot for steelbook packaging, so I only get them when it’s the only available option (there’s only like 3 steelbooks in my collection of 200+). Regardless, I’m very excited to experience everything again in the highest quality, even 3 and 4 haha.
