Great. Even Superman is P.C.

[Peter W. Kessler]

How nice.

Another "Must Miss."

BLECH!!!

I was going to see this UNTIL I heard that the Hollywood producers decided to delete "and The American Way..." from Superman's motto (Truth, Justice and the American Way.)

It's added to the growing list...(starting with Jane Fonda) of actors, movies etc. whom I won't spend money to see.

[Lexington Green]

"truth, justice and all that stuff."

He ain't my Superman.

[PeterPrinciple]

"truth, justice and all that stuff."

Yep, that is a very motivational and memorable one liner.

[LanPB01]

The omission of "and the American way" is the least of this movies problems. It was awful.

[durasell]

Global audience needed for a $200 million investment. Global motto required.

[Brian Mosely]

Ever since artist Joe Shuster and writer Jerry Siegel created the granddaddy of all comic book icons in 1932...

Nope. Action Comics #1 was published in 1938..

[BenLurkin]

"He's an international superhero."

Download and watch if you must. Defund the left and the traitorcrat party.

[Roberts]

Funny, Superman has not only been stripped of his Americanism, but he's also lost his intelligence. He speaks like he's on MTV. "Truth, justice, and all that stuff". I guess we'll have to go back and rent the Christopher Reeve version.

"We were always hesitant to include the term 'American way' because the meaning of that today is somewhat uncertain," Ohio native Dougherty explains. "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."

What drivel. There's nothing uncertain about the term "American Way" except in your head Mr. Dougherty. No, "the American way" hasn't changed and it is just as noble and idealistic as it ever was. Something tells me Mr. Dougherty's confusion is a product of a Government education in the public schools.

Superman eschews...

Gesundheit!

[Huck]

Pathetic. But Superman always looked like a homo anway. Batman was way cooler, albeit a psycho.

[coconutt2000]

To be fair, Superman does not say that line. That is the line said by Perry, chief of the Daily Planet.

The movie is worth watching. It is entertaining, and while not as good as it could've been - it was worth the time spent in a crowded theater. The special effects are good, the actor playing Superman does an excellent job, and Superman is really a likable character.

oh well and I had free tickets to see it in IMax.. no thanks wont be going to see it now.

"So, you play the movie in a foreign country, and you say, 'What does he stand for? -- truth, justice and the American way.' I think a lot of people's opinions of what the American way means outside of this country are different from what the line actually means (in Superman lore) because they are not the same anymore," Harris says. "And (using that line) would taint the meaning of what he is saying."

And Hollywood wonders why they are losing touch with middle-America. What a load of PC crap.

What do you bet "the American way" would have been included if a Democrat was in the White House?

[Huck]

"We were always hesitant to include the term 'American way'

What a fag. "Hesitant." Can't even be certain about his squeamishness. Typical lefty. Not just unpatriotic, but ANTIpatriotic. And mostly because he's too squeamish and unsure to stand for anything.

"He's here for humanity," Dougherty says.

Well, isn't that special.

The "hate America crowd" instilling their anti-patriotism on everyone from the age of 8 to 80. I guess they would be happier if it was "the Chinese way". It's a movie that should be ignored but probably won't be.
