OK, I won't be going to this movie now.
How stupid. The United States is still the only country on earth people are willing to risk their lives to get to. "The American way" still means something to the rest of the world, even if it means nothing to Hollyweird. This is another movie I won't see, even though I was a fan of Christopher Reeves' "Superman."
Thanks for posting, you just saved me about $30.00.

Yeah, it's a place I won't be going to see your movie in.
We were more noble and idealistic before communists and socialists took over hollywood.
I've heard that the new Batwoman comic will portray her as a lesbian.
American patriots need to take the entertainment media back over. As of now, it is an active propoganda campaign against America, and this "Superman" movie is just one more example.
KMA as in Kiss My A##
That's why I"ll save on popcorn over the 4th of July weekend.
They will get the people that would see anything... however they won't get the dollars that are generated by those of us with "discretionary" income that I can choose to use in multiple ways.
I love it..."all that stuff"....like we wouldn't notice.
asshats.
This one is direct sequel, with Superman now having a kid out of wedlock and, from what I've been told from those who've seen it, it's BORING. Superman doesn't have any combat scenes, he's just flying around lifting stuff, basically, though there's one very good action scene.
I have no interest in "reimaginings" which don't even stay true to the essence of the original. And Superman is a not-very-interesting character--too powerful, too bland. And I don't need anymore of this director's special pleading for the gay agenda, which diluted the first two X-Men movies.
That one line doesn't seem to fit the rest of what this guy is saying.
"The ideal hasn't changed. I think when people say 'American way,' they're actually talking about what the 'American way' meant back in the '40s and '50s, which was something more noble and idealistic."
Idiot!
As if the America of the 1940s was so much more noble.
Nope. What's changed is that Hollywood has become so much more *ig*noble.
So Stuperman will now behead the infidels, because that is an international way of truth and justice?
Eff hollyweird and the commie whorse they rode in on!!!
Good reason not to see the movie.
Well, I liked it. Even if the writers had an anti-American agenda, you couldn't really tell it from this quotation. It was a throwaway line by the newspaper editor and was meant to be funny.
However, the moviemakers did go out of their way to show that Superman was an international superhero. It showed him saving folks in Germany as well as in the USA. Also, he traveled to space to contemplate the Earth as a whole.
I despise when they alter a great American icon. Ping!
Superman is an Illegal Alien and should be Deported.
I'm a big Superman fan. Just this past week i purchased dvds of Seasons #3 & 4 of the TV show starring George Reeves. Enclosed was a free pass for this movie. I just may use that free pass and make a show of walking out when this line is spoken.
That's completely incorrect. Superman never vows anything in this movie. The 'all that stuff' line was uttered by the Metropolis version of the New York Times editor, Perry White, about Superman.
If you can imagine an NYT editor saying the words 'truth, justice and the American way' without choking violently on the words, I guess you have a much more active imagination than I do. As it is, the line made perfect sense in context.

This Man of Steel could use some mettle

"....The American icon is no longer an American. He's not proud of the American way.
It says so in The Hollywood Reporter, in a story by Tatiana Siegel, about the movie that other reviewers insisted was so, so iconic.
The real Superman, the pre-Kyoto, pre-Guantanamo Bay Superman, understood who he was. He fought for "truth, justice and the American way." That was his credo--even while threatening terrorists into giving up important information in time to save the day.
But in the new movie, the Man of Steel can't even bring himself to say it. Instead, a supporting character, played by Frank Langella, says Superman stands for "truth, justice and all that stuff."
All that stuff? Why didn't he just say "truth, justice and, you know, like, whatever?"

Wow, I was actually planning on going to this movie today. Now I won't be going.
In other words, in dropping "the American way" was a marketing decision.
