Looked at the still. All my issues still apply.

Well, it's DEFINITELY more Romita Sr. than Ditko. No web armpits, for one…
On one hand, I wish the movie was a bit more colorful— between this and Avengers: Age of Ultron, Marvel is making a bad habit of teal- or grey-tinting Avengers-centric movies, which just robs them off all their joy and vibrancy. The first Avengers is still my favorite of all the Marvel films, and one of the big…
I am… pretty darn disappointed with Spider-Man.
It doesn't matter how much more they spent on Man of Steel than Batman Begins— the point was that they're both origin stories, the first films in their respective franchises. They don't have the luxury of following earlier movies that built up things like audience interest, goodwill, and excitement— things that I was…
I feel like Johns got screwed over with Green Lantern.
"It's basically perfectly formatted as a comic book. The best a movie adaptation could hope to be is like adequate."
Yeah, I'll give you that. But it doesn't make ANY sense that Superman being in the presence of a different atmospheric composition would make his skin penetrable. It could make him WEAKER, sure, but it shouldn't eliminate his invulnerability— which comes from his skin cells absorbing yellow solar radiation for…
Actually, it's a little worse than that: the female Kryptonian is kicking all kinds of ass with the superpowers she shouldn't even have. During her entire battle throughout Smallville, she's breathing a Kryptonian atmosphere in her suit— and the movie clearly explains that Kryptonian atmospherics completely nullify…
Also, in the trailer we really only see one character get possessed. That's still better than the original film, which featured TWO characters getting possessed: Dana Barrett and Louis Tulley.
… Except for Ivo Shandor, the whack-job who built a skyscraper that acted like a lightning rod for ghosts and paparnormal activity.
For all its faults, my biggest problem with Ghostbusters II was that it screwed up the central conceit of the first film. The Ghostbusters are not supposed to be superheroes; they're supposed to be glorified pest control workers. Yet the second movie undercut the comedy of the premise by playing them as heroic…
I just have one thing to say about this trailer:
I actually really appreciated that short, quiet moment between Cat and Jimmy when Cat realizes just what almost happened with the rocket.
I've honestly never wanted to see that omni-powerful Superman. My favorite run on the character was John Byrne's (following Crisis on Infinite Earths), where Superman's powers were defined and explored, and he had definite limits in terms of what he could do.
Those factors could have contributed a bit of a disparity… but not enough to cover the difference between the wind sheer and propulsion from a single rocket, and a million tons of inert matter.
Yeah. I know. I was refering to the "key under the mat" bit, not the very existence of a Fortress key.
Actually, considering that the writers stole the Fortress "key under the mat" bit from Grant Morrison's All-Star Superman— in which the dwarf-star key was the size and shape of a typical car key, yet still weighed a million tons— it was a heck of a lot larger than it could have been.
Non was totally using an Omegahedron in that last scene. Of all the cheesy references to Supergirl's other pop culture ventures, this struck me as the most ridiculously obscure one to date. So of course, I LOVED it!
Tonight, Lucy Lane finally won the Lana Lang Award for Excellence in the Field of Being a Deluded, Self-Absorbed Drama Queen. No matter what was happening, or how IMPORTANT the things Jimmy was trying to do or to tell her, she just kept coming back to the same jealous lashing out about Jimmy working with Supergirl.
