Haven't seen this movie, but Super-man 2 is the best superhero movie I've ever seen,

You mean Spiderman 2?

[AmishDude]

One of the things I noticed is that people actually die. Not only do they refer to the long list of dead superheroes, but the henchmen don't jump out at the last minute. The comic villain is much less comic with such death. Still I very much liked it. I'd say the target was probably greater than 8 years old.

Teh Incredibles is better than both movies combined! First movie that actually took me back to the good old days of comics.

[Preech1]

I think he MEANT "Superman 2"...and my favorite part in that movie was when Kirk clenched his fist and screamed "KHAAAAAAANNNNNN!!!!!"

#24...good points!
I agree!

[AF_Blue]

The only complaint I have is the short about the sheep that was played prior to the movie. STUPID !!!

Even the original Pixar short about the lamps (Toy Story short titled "Luxor" IIRC) was better, not to mention the one of the birds on the telephone wire.

Great. The second best laugh of the day.

Took the kids to see it. We all loved it!

Hubby and I took our 10-year old son last weekend to see the movie. We all loved it. The storyline was great--lots of stuff to interest kids AND adults. The animation was absolutely amazing! You think Pixar can't top themselves, and then they do. Some of the scenes, especially looking out over a long distance--you had to keep reminding yourself it was animation. The little short lady who made their costumes reminded me of my old boss from many years ago--I just lost it when I saw her.

I was amazed that this movie with its deeply-conservative themes got made. It's terrific, and the animation is way beyond incredible.

Saw it last night. What a fun film for the whole family!

#29..I disagree vehemently!!!!

The sheep/jackalope storyline was adorable and had a good meaning....

...it was sweet and easy to understand for the kids!!!

[Guenevere]

#13...No, she said...They will kill you!!!

[Cicero]

Sounds good to me. There was a liberal movie review saying that it was a great movie except that it put too much emphasis on nature vs. nurture, so the reviewer gave it a B. In other words, it isn't politically correct--which is fine with me.

[Nataku X]

Vigilantism would be more closely associated with conservatives than liberals, I think. Modern comic book writers really have to jump through hoops to try to force their characters into their desired liberal mold.

Entirely wrong approach to take--when I create characters, I create them, and their politic leanings come from their personality and beliefs; I don't force them into my political leanings. Superman would be one of the very few liberal superheroes out there, but that's because he essentially believes that only he should have the power.

Nothing is too over the top for Shatner ;)

My 6yo daughter and me both enjoyed the movie. Definetly worth the price of a matinee show.

[Stringfellow Hawke]

Doh! Yes, I meant Spider-man 2. I don't know what I was thinking, perhaps subconsciously I was thinking Superman, since he's always been my biggest hero.
