Zod who looked like a member of ABBA? No thanks.

Except this is based around Ultimate Spider-man generally, and that's not really the case with that version of Mary Jane. For what it's worth, I think Woodley is hotter than Emma Stone, more in my wheelhouse anyway.

Re: Mark Waid, my point exactly…this is the same writer who threw a fit at DC because they wouldn't make his (frankly shitty) origin for Superman the canon origin. I like his work sometimes (esp right now with Daredevil), but one massive Silver Age comics collection does not make you the all powerful arbiter of

It's the best Superman movie we've ever gotten, far better than the Donner slop.

To be fair, my recent bowel movement is better realized than the Amazing Spider-Man

All of this. Perfect. Thank you sir.

But…Birthright sucks.

I enjoyed Man of Steel more than This Is The End, but neither held a candle to Before Midnight. But this complaining that "its not my Superman" starts to sound suspiciously like "get off my lawn!" It's a character that changes with the times, any of you ever read the way he treated criminals in the Golden Age?

Crazy, movie-weekend.
We watched in successive days, This Is The End, Man of Steel, and Before Midnight. Obviously Before Midnight was the winner, but I found myself enjoying Man of Steel far more than the reviews were to give it credit. I liked it about a notch below Batman Begins, but they're about on par for me.

Star Trek into Darkness is many things, but fun…??

@sdelmonte:disqus I do not, but that obviously goes without saying….but I'll say it anyway :-)

I've read it already, if I have to hear about Mark Waid's opinion about Man of Steel one more time I'm going to scream. The whole thing reeks of self-importance.

I didn't love it, but I liked it a good sight better than most. I feel like Iron Man 3 and Man of Steel have opposite problems. Man of Steel has a really cool plot but tone-deaf dialogue (like all Goyer scripts), while Iron Man 3 has sharp banter but an unmemorable story. They're about the same in my eyes, I think the

I dunno, I thought it was true to the spirit of *this* Superman, which is a reinvention on a theme and a pretty clever one at that. But, I guess it isn't for everybody which is funny because it's totally aiming as general as possible.

I think Alan Moore did it even better with Supreme: Story of the Year.

I'll be catching this tonight at midnight, but I have to say…it'll need to go a long way to be worse than the original Superman films in my eyes. I watched them as a kid and enjoyed them, but I always felt they were missing the grander cosmic scale that a Superman film requires. They also weren't helped by the jokey

That's the trouble with having multiple reviewers sometimes…

Your other choice is far worse and I don't mean the porn.

So, I actually thought this episode was pretty bad, maybe one of the worst of the series…right up there with the Bobbie Barrett and/or Peggy is pregnant but doesn't know it stuff. Everything about the draft dodging plot felt so unsubtle and contrived in order to get Sally in place to see her dad cheating. And despite

I don't think I laughed once, it was a free screening, but it was time I could never get back. I'd say it was the worst movie I saw this year, but that would mean it was worse than Jack the Giant Slayer or Disconnect, which I'm just not sure I can say. It's certainly a giant turd.
