I’ll pass...
i am completely sick of these superhero movies.
Actually I was sick of superheroes back when i was 16.

Thanks for the excellent review. I'm also fed up with the "gratuitis length" of fight scenes. I've gotten to the point where I won't go to a movie that's rated R for violence.

Want the complete opposite of the movie you described? That would be "The Internship". It's the ultimate culture clash played out with Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn at their having-a-good-time best.

Thank you! And “The Internship” was on my list of movies to see, but now I’m going to put it at the top and either go see it before the weekend is over, or next weekend at the latest. Thank you for the tip!

versus

Payne/Powell looks more the part.

Hated the new “suit.” What’s wrong with the outside underwear?

[longtermmemmory]

It was LOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooong and disjointed.

The writing might have succeeded if they had not been lost in a world of krypton rewrite.

In the end it it just an ancient greek mythology ripoff of heracles.

I would say wait for cable/netflix or whatever costs least.

you could check you emails and look for any interesting FR postings DURING the movie and not mis a single relivent point.

It was ok, not ooooh ahhh good.

not a lazy pathetic pseudo rewrite like the Star Trek II reboot.

the illegal alien lobby is pushing this as an example of being illegal.

they forget clark kent was “a” adopted and “b” represented as the product of martha and johnathan kent depending on which incarnation.
