OK, I'm just going to flat-out say it:




The new Superman looks more like Superman to me than any of the other actors that played Superman previously---I'm including all of them. This guy just looks like Superman in my mind.

And General Zod appears to be pretty good too, though I'm not sure if he beats the General Zod from SM2.

Casting is the main reason I despised all the Batman films of the 80s/90s, including Michael Keaton. With this new Superman film it looks like they got all the characters right. Except Lois Lane, still. That character just sucks and no actress will ever be able make her interesting.

The problem with Mr.s Lane is that she's supposed to be this independent tough willed reporter...very 'modern new york woman.', but really--she's written as an achiles heal, as most women were written.


Almost all females back then were supposed to stand around and scream during the action sequences so that they added more conflict for the male characters, and increased the risk in the situation. Sexism beyond measure.

But, these are superhero movies, so sexism and mysogony (just like Bond movies) are part of the teritory.

I guess I should also clarify:


When I say he looks more like Superman to me, I don't mean that he most closely resembles the drawings or costumes in the comic books. I mean, he looks more like the embodiment of 'Superman' when I think of what he should look like, based upon who he is.

None of the other ones look like impressive beings from other worlds, capable of acts of great strength. This guy does. I expect costume tweaking to take place, and I'm not crazy about the one they've chosen. But, the actor totally impresses me.

I love Amy Adams. I think she'll do a great job as Lois Lane. The little bit we get to see her in the trailer makes me think they're doing something interesting with the character.

As much as Christopher Reeve embodied Superman--and he really did--I also think Margot Kidder deserves credit for being an epic, great Lois Lane. Lois Lane has a decades-long tradition of being nowhere near the prettiest girl in the room. In fact, she's kind of seen as homely in the comics. And she's often just a total bitch to Clark Kent. So why would the most powerful man on earth, who's also one of the best looking men on earth, not only go for her, but fall hard for her in a courtly love kind of way?

Margot Kidder was sexy in a way that made you go, "OHHHH! So THAT'S it." Because she was crazy, and even if she wasn't supermodel hot, you knew she was totally DTF. All three inputs for sure. And you know Superman is way nasty like that.

So that's why I think Margot Kidder is the best Lois Lane and always will be.

I don't really get why superman needs an outfit upgrade. Sure, his costume is the worst of all superheroes, but he does not need any special composite material like batman does. He just needs blue and red with an S on the chest

Every Warner Bros. superhero seems to get their costume designed by Rubbermaid. I've never really understood why.

Review: The laden 'Man of Steel' doesn't soar

It has been a black eye to Hollywood that throughout this, the unending and increasingly repetitive age of the superhero blockbuster, the comics' most iconic son has eluded its grasp like a bird or, if you will, a plane.

New hopes of box-office riches and franchise serials rests on Zac Snyder's 3-D "Man of Steel," the latest attempt to put Supermanback into flight. But Snyder's joyless film, laden as if composed of the stuff of its hero's metallic nickname, has nothing soaring about it.

Flying men in capes is grave business in Snyder's solemn Superman. "Man of Steel," an origin tale of the DC Comics hero, goes more than two hours before the slightest joke or smirk.

This is not your Superman of red tights, phone booth changes, or fortresses of solitude, but one of Christ imagery, Krypton politics and spaceships. Who would want to have fun at the movies, anyway, when you could instead be taught a lesson about identity from a guy who can shoot laser beams out of his eyes?

If you read this review carefully, you can see that the writer wanted a more lighthearted, funny Superman. I sure don't... give me the brooding, the conflict. This writer missed the point.

we will see how it does at the box office - i dont want it to be bad ...

i am sorry - just think Superman has always been a boring charactor .
