This revisionist superman is a product of a group of creators who hate the USA.
Superman IS a representation that the AMERICAN way is the BEST way for the world. The BS is that they are trying to appeal to an international audience. Superman is about right and wrong. American Way is the right way, the socialist/communist/facist ways were wrong. The left is trying to say American Way is not international.
This is a lie from the left, they are trying to promote the antiamerican attidues by re-envisioning an anti american superman. This will appeal to the parts of the arab world which routinely use Mein Kamf as a guide for their vision of supermen.
Saying "Truth, Justice, and the American Way" IS international.
I special effects are super. For that alone, it is worth seeing.
script is online.
movie is online.
reviews have been revialing enough.
Advertising speaks volumes.
No "american way"
Lois Lane is a slut and an unwed mother.
Jimmy Olsen was supposed to be a homosexual but that hit the cutting room floor because of public outcry (this time)
The fact the trailers are emphasising the special effects points out this is a PC turkey. They have to HIDE the story. Two dimentional acting, just more pretty posing scenes.
There is no reason to allow children to be indoctrinated even a little with this left winger superman.
it is not worth seeing just for special effects. They pumped up the special effects to create "sound bytes" for commercials.
Wait for the free TV release.
The fewer people who see it in the theater the faster it will hit the free tv.
that should read- THE special effects are super. For that alone, it is worth seeing.
we must have paid viral promoters hitting FR.
(aka schills paid to lurk on websites to promote a movie.)
I think oreily had a paid expert on superman to promote the movie last week.
If you haven't seen any of them... watch Michael Keatons first, then Batman Begins. Skip the rest.
I have not seen any of the commericals on television but have seen the movie.
I take it you have seen the movie and are not basing your comments soley on the commercials you happen to catch.
Superman is a promoter of the American Way to the world. He took on the mantle of saying "american way" because the american way is BETTER than any other way.
The people who made this movie do not have the mental capacity to understand that, they only grasp the culture of personal failure that embodies the governance of the EU and promoted by the UN.
If they made a pro american superman, it would be an instant classic (ala patriot)
This is just another overbudgeted special efects sound byte that will be forgotten by the next movie. Look at what this is coupled with, a disfunctional "my ex girlfriend is a superhero" man hating movie.
Holyweird could not shout horray for the american way because they are still mourning the fall of the USSR.
Superman Returns is a PRODUCT
The promotion and advertising is to entice people to see this PRODUCT
Spending $$$$ on a product to decide to buy the product is absurd.
Lois is a slut and unwed mother
Superman no longer stands for the american way
Superman is now a PC wimp
THAT is what is being used to entice people to see this PRODUCT.
You can be a sucker to PAY $$ to decide if this PRODUCT is propaganda for the left or not. However, that does not change the fact this is just another Hollyweird left wing hit piece on america. Saying I shout PAY MONEY to see a PRODUCT in order to pass judgement on such a hit piece is illogical.
Please talk to your viral promotion boss.
Amen! Fortunately our Inet enables people to discover the fugly truth about a movie before actually wasting money and precious time in one of those brick and mortar churches that Hollyweird calls theaters.
(s) How dare you show an image of the twin towers with superman. Don't you know the twin towers are a symbol of "american way" imperialism! EVIL EVIL EVIL!
Superman is a internationalist hero of the antiamericans! Conservatives are trying to steal superman the way they have stollen the american flag.
In fact Superman and the American Flag are also forbidden!!!
(/s)
There's lots of negative adjectives I'd apply to the character of Lois Lane, but sleeping with two men in five years doesn't qualify a contemporary female for the term 'slut'. And who left who anyways?
As far as the politics go, given the absurdly left wing no-nukes slant that the old Superman movies started to take, this one is a nice step in the right direction. I thought that the movie was a little slow at times, and way to focused in on Lois's feelings, but my liberalometer only went off when, surprise!, the jaded liberal character of Perry White was speaking.
a step in the right direction does not chang the fact the Superman movies CONTINUE to be left wing propaganda tools.
That is insufficient to take money out of my wallet.
I have seen the script and there are more than enough spoiler sites on the internet that have provided an attack by attack play of this turkey.
Those who say "pay money and then judge" just prove that this movies word of mouth is 100% accurate. Those are the same people who wanted the public to see the homosexual sheepherder movie and then judge it was a homosexual sheepherder movie.
no thanks.
PC superman returns wimpification is D.O.A.
Yeah, it's not four stars by any means, but as a summer movie it is definitely worth the price of admission. The special effects are finally at a point where they can simply tell whatever story they want. I wondered what a remake of Superman II with current technology would look like. As it was, there were a few scenes that were very memorable, and Superman finally flies like you always imagined he would.
Kevin Spacey did a fine job as Lex Luthor, as well. I thoroughly enjoyed disliking him.
I would feel free to zone out anytime Lois is speaking, however. She's become the female equivalent of Kryponite. About halfway through the movie, it dawns on you that her character is so completely self absorbed, whiny and irritating, the only reason you were ever interested in her in the first place was because you were expecting her to be the old Lois Lane. She's not.
Now, I just question Supe's taste in women. He's a good kid, and has so much going for him. Why waste his time on such an enervating, man-hating harpy? It truly boggles the mind.
Agreed. Most movies are.
The promotion and advertising is to entice people to see this PRODUCT
Agreed. Most movies do that. Though in this case, I have not seen any of the commericals, but because I am/was a fan of Superman and like movies with special effects, I chose to see this film.
Spending $$$$ on a product to decide to buy the product is absurd.
Something about the way that sentence is constructed is absurd.
Lois is a slut and unwed mother
Lois was a slut when she slept with Superman in the previous films. What's new? Superman no longer stands for the american way
Agreed. Whatever he seemed to stand for in this film, it wasn't the American way. Superman is now a PC wimp
Agreed.
THAT is what is being used to entice people to see this PRODUCT.
What enticed me was that I had time to myself that particular night, I liked the character, and I dig special effects.
You can be a sucker to PAY $$ to decide if this PRODUCT is propaganda for the left or not. However, that does not change the fact this is just another Hollyweird left wing hit piece on america. Saying I shout PAY MONEY to see a PRODUCT in order to pass judgement on such a hit piece is illogical.
Thank you for allowing me to spend my money the way I see fit. I agree, it is yet another left wing hit piece on America. But its one with really super special effects! : )
Please talk to your viral promotion boss.
I am my viral promotion boss. Nifty term there by the way.
I see - I was too quick to jump at the bait myself. Wish I could blame it on a lack of coffee, but I had plenty of that.
Anyway, the movie's pretty good. If there's any doubters out there, go see it. At least, this time of year, most of us could appreciate the two plus hours of free air-conditioning.
I am glad I'm important enough that gays would want to appropriate my prestige as part of their agenda. I'm not saying I'm Superman or Socrates good, but I might be up there with one of the shabbier X-Men.
Dammit. I hate when one of you guys figures it out.
(said quietly but hopefully) Your mom is a lesbian....?
