Guys, I’ve just seen Superman

He's extremely cute, but what the hell is that accent, I have such difficulty pinning it down?

Here's a more verbose clip for further analysis.

Cute. But a PAID SHILL. His opinion is meaningless. Call me when his dick pix drop.

He is in a video with CORENSWET and FemSupermans purple suit.. Corey looks like crap with his shaved head. Not exactly unbiassed.

[quote]And I’m still alive. I’m breathing.

"But I'm also shaking and crying and pissing and shitting and puking and cumming..."

What makes you think he’s a paid shill? Maybe he just loves David Cornsweat.

None of these early reactions are unbiased, like r2 has mentioned. They're all sent in first to try and fire up the base and soften up the critical opposition to it. Change the conversation, so to speak.

Better title?= [bold]Pocket Gay drooling over his DC Paycheck[/bold]....

R5 = He got an EXCLUSIVE preview over a week ago. Movie studios do that to counter BAD reviews. Nobody is getting this much of a hardon over Krypto and Metamorpho.

[bold] Superficial and Silly [/bold]------->>SUPERMAN First Review Calls DCU Reboot "Superficial And Silly" And Bemoans "Terrible," "Overstuffed" Movie

I like the pink eye shadow on David. It’s very fetching. He sure knows how to do a smoky eye.

All aggregated up to Rotten Tomatoes coming in at 86% from 103 reviews.

Hollywood likes it - it must be woke.

[bold] James Gunn continues to say stupid shit and piss off people...[/bold]

He called Superman an Immigrant.----which is true but that's a political dog whistle. People go to movies for escapism, not your views on Republicans.

He announced "Truth, Justice, and the AMERICAN way" will not be in the movie. MAGA parents are NOT letting their kids buys tickets to this movie, which must thrill WB.

LINK------>> NOW he's pissing off kids in India. Not kidding. Boycott talk.

Is Superman not an immigrant from Krypton??

[bold] James Gunn Says Ezra Miller's 'The Flash' Is 'Probably One of the Greatest Superhero Movies Ever Made'[/bold].................

When someone shows you they are a boldface liar, don't believe anything else they say because they are possibly just lying.

Lois looks kinda dykey in this.

Supes is definitely “prettier” than her.

This film apparently brings up the hypnotizing glasses he wears as Clark Kent that disguise his true face. I wonder if they’ll show how others see Clark.

They’ll see him as Brandon Routh.

Lois looks like every pissed off lesbian in line at the gay club.

[quote]This film apparently brings up the hypnotizing glasses he wears as Clark Kent that disguise his true face. I wonder if they’ll show how others see Clark.

I’ve honestly never heard of this before. Are these glasses a new detail they’ve added to the comics over the last few years?

Throwback. Gay lisp. Different teeth. Bad hair. You go, girl...

[quote] I'm also shaking and crying and pissing and shitting and puking and cumming

Pics please.

I'm so fucking sick of this movie and it hasn't even been released yet.

Is this our Superman in bed with another dude?

Why are people determined to hate this one? I assume our resident rightwinger is all over these threads dumping on it because Gunn is a Midwestern liberal and the movie frames Superman as an immigrant (which is funny).

But what about the human beings amongst us? Maybe you dislike it because it doesn’t have that super-dark, brooding, serious attitude all fantasy characters have to have to appeal to millennials/Zs/As? It’s like they’re afraid they’ll be seen as children if they’re seen watching ANYTHING that’s less that super-depressing.

That’s actually why I LOVE the look of this picture — that, and Gunn is the only director who doesn’t make comic book movies/TV that suck. For me anyway, GotG and his suicide squad are the only watchable comic movies, and Peacemaker was really fun. The show opening is deliriously entertaining.

Pre-Makeover. The black socks are certainly a fashion choice.

Black socks? Nasty! Does he ever go barefoot?

OP- I did too. I really like Christopher Reeve as Superman and Margot Kidder as Lois Lane.

r29 r30 r32

Hasn't Lois Lane always been a bit butch? In every incarnation starting with the TV series, you can picture Lois on her way to Mitchfest after work

The NYT film critic loves the movie.

NYT deemed it a “Critics Pick”.

You can tell all the SnyderBros just found out about Datalounge.

This looks like a ton of fun and the early reviews are backing that up. These posts remind me of the 10,000 Barbie threads we weathered in 2023 that were 90% negative and continued to call the film a flop even as it broke box office records for months.

[quote]The black socks are certainly a fashion choice.

Do you know anyone under 30? Have you left the house in the past decade?

That’s it $200M?

I love how James Gunn thinks HE's a "star". The internet is pushing back.

[quote]Is this our Superman in bed with another dude?

That was clearly during his experimental phase at Smallville U. Do you not see how young he looks there? Everyone at SU experimented.

R40, why are linking to a MAGA YouTube channel?

Your meltdown throughout your many posts on this thread is hilarious, R40. Almost as entertaining as the film sounds, based on all the positive reviews coming out from mainstream outlets like Variety and the NYT right now..

R39, $200M for an opening weekend is pretty impressive.

R40 is a MAGA. He's upset in one of his other three dozen posts on this thread because Superman is described as an immigrant and doesn't say "...the AMERICAN way!" He bemoans that MAGAs won't being their kids to see it, as if anyone cares. Laughable trolling.

This is an interview with David about getting cast as Superman. He talks about the phone call he got from James Gunn at timemark 6:00.

If you listen to a few minutes of this, you understand why they cast him.

James Gunn says fuck you to MAGA and that their opinions don’t count. The team behind “Superman” is responding to the backlash after director James Gunn said the DC tentpole is the story of “an immigrant that came from other places.”

When asked about the reaction to his comments, James Gunn explained that the movie is for “everyone” and that he doesn’t have “anything to say to anybody” spreading negativity around “Superman.”

“I’m not here to judge people,” he told Variety at Monday night’s “Superman” premiere at Hollywood’s TCL Chinese Theatre. “I think this is a movie about kindness and I think that’s something everyone can relate to.”

Nathan Fillion, who plays Guy Gardner, aka Green Lantern, laughed off the negativity and kept his response brief.

“Aw, somebody needs a hug,” Fillion said. “Just a movie, guys.”

Sean Gunn, who plays Maxwell Lord in the film, stood up for his brother and emphasized that immigrants are integral to the fabric of America.

“My reaction to [the backlash] is that it is exactly what the movie is about,” he said. “We support our people, you know? We love our immigrants. Yes, Superman is an immigrant, and yes, the people that we support in this country are immigrants and if you don’t like that, you’re not American. People who say no to immigrants are against the American way.”

James Gunn made waves with his Sunday profile in The Times of London after he explained some of the themes and ideals embedded in “Superman.” He said that the film encompassed “the story of America,” and on a fundamental level, is about a man looking for a new life away from his homeland.

“I mean, ‘Superman’ is the story of America,” James Gunn said. “An immigrant that came from other places and populated the country, but for me it is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost.”

The quote enflamed backlash from commentators online and drew the attention of conservative media outlets like Fox News, which deemed “Superman” “Superwoke.” Network anchor Kellyanne Conway said of the film, “We don’t go to the movie theater to be lectured to and to have somebody throw their ideology onto us.” Jesse Watters added, “You know what it says on his cape? MS13.”

R45 = How sad. Every person you disagree with is MAGA. Or Russian. LoL

I don’t think you’re MAGA but when you link to a MAGA account, it’s kinda sus.

[quote]If you listen to a few minutes of this, you understand why they cast him.

You mean he wasn’t casted based on his looks but on his voice?

If the assholes on Fox have their panties in a wad over this movie, then it must be really good.

[quote]R45 = How sad. Every person you disagree with is MAGA. Or Russian. LoL

MAGA for sure.

R51 r52

R52 = Manless. Never had a relationship that lasted over 9 months. Mother was his best friend until she kicked the bucket. His brothers hate him. His sisters pity him. He goes to the gay park. But only to "hike".

^^^You need a hobby, hon.

Almost half of the posts in this thread are from posters whom I've blocked, and I can't see any negative comments. The only people I block are MAGAts, bigots, and transphobes, so that tells you where the criticism is coming from.

87% on Rotten Tomatoes. All the naysayers were WRONG.

Proof yet again that MAGA is a mental illness.

[quote] You mean he wasn’t casted

Supes has huge hands.

r1 I saw a vid from five years ago and he had a Hispanic? Mexican? accent so maybe you're detecting him covering that up now.

His hands don’t look that big here. Rachel’s hands dwarf his.

[quote] he had a Hispanic? Mexican? accent

Speaking of whatever happened to the Mexican-looking Superman?

R56 it's all one troll, the one who whined that MAGAs won't see the film because it's too woke, then posted a MAGA youtube link about some boycott in India, then mocked people for calling him a MAGA.

Believe me, you aren't missing anything.

r62 no they're definitely bigger than usual. His arms are longer, too.

Nicholas Hoult said he realized he wasn't going to be cast as Superman when he met Corenswet at the audition, mentioning his hands…

“And I walked over to say hello, and he stood up, and I was like, ‘Goddamn, he’s about an inch taller than me. Look at his hair. Look at his jawline.’ And then he started speaking, and I shook his hand, and I was like, ‘His hands are a bit bigger than me.’ And then he spoke, and I was like, ‘Oh, his voice is a little bit deeper too.’"

Super fabulous!!

“And then he put his penis inside me, and I realized that’s bigger than me too.”

You know what they say, "big hands...

Super Man Spreader. Possibly freeballing situation?

[Quote] [R40], why are linking to a MAGA YouTube channel?

We all know who r40 is.

R71 I don't. Fill us in. My block list only shows his 20 posts in this thread.

It's so obvious when a troll tries to sink a thread by bombarding it with dumb links and even dumber comments.

This thread has been infected like an asshole in a Parisian bathhouse by the I Hate Emily Blunt/Matt Bomer and David Corenswet Should Follow My Career Advice Troll. All his repressed, lonely and very ugly energy has been boiling for two years waiting for this moment.

And his defeat is delicious. 😋

Sorry, you sad, lonely, unloved loser. It looks like it’s going to be a huge hit! All your stalker-like image searches and arcane and frightening observations have proven as useless as your penis.

If only David and Matt had listened to you they’d be begging for a regional Frosted Flake commercial right about now.

Poor troll. He’s too pathetic to even mock in his moment of utter defeat and misery.

He can now go back to jerking off while eating Popeye’s, wearing his mother’s torn girdle and crying himself to sleep. As always.

😘

Another pose.

I'm going into *clench my eyes shut to avoid any spoilers* mode for the next week or so until I go

I'm a bit worried about how spoilerific all the trailers I watched were tbh

r61 Yeah, a suppressed Mexican accent makes sense, I totally hear it now.

Oh, I just wanna EAT him UP!

That guy looks like Joel Hodgson’s younger brother (or kid).

What makes me really laugh is how the marvel movies toned down the look of the superheroes so the movies would be taken more seriously and the characters would look less preposterous compared to non-superhero characters.

For fucks sake, the whole thing is preposterous, whether you neutral-out Captain America’s suit or not! GET A GRIP.

Same thing goes for the fairlytale movies. How desperate they tried to make sleeping beauty “adult” and “menacing” and “brooding.” Why bother then? Just make an adult story.

This Superman just says FUCK THAT and goes all in. And I love the honesty and integrity to the original storytelling. I’ll go see it.

^^^ desperately

Prefer his old uniform.

Nice body but he needs to work on his shoulders and vulnerability.

MAGAman!

R82 = Cybill Shepherd.

Prefer no uniform

Why is the tip of his nipple neon red? Where’s the dick?

AI really does have the potential to ruin everything. And there are some assholes here who are determine to shove it down our throats. Just put r83 on ignore.

^^^ determined

I recall Wicked had the same shills

It will have a good opening weekend. Whether it will develop legs is another question.

Fantastic Four is going to be the big reboot of the summer. Lezzby Lois and Cute Clark are going to sink in the box office after the opening weekend.

[bold] Supergirl confirmed appearance. Kryptos origin already leaked online..[/bold]

Please put that in the spoiler thread. Not here!

Fantastic Flop is going to be a huge bomb. Everyone is tired of the wildly miscast Pedro Pascal.

Link to spoiler thread, R93.

Spoiler thread

Thank you, R96.

R96.

It's sad this cutie feels the need to hide his Mexicanism in order to appeal to his audience. Trump's America, I guess.

[quote]I recall Wicked had the same shills

I recall Wicked living up to the hype and breaking box office records.

I also recall the same concerted effort to tank the positive WOM reviews by bombarding every thread with cries of "shill!" and ludicrous predictions of box office doom, even as the film played to packed theaters week after week.

Ditto "Barbie" two years ago. The "big movie opening-->excited fans posting-->army of trolls screaming "shills'" pipeline is so fucking predictable now you could set your watch to it. Just laughably obvious trolling. We all see right through you.

Why, it's almost as if there is a strange sub-set of posters here who exist simply to post over-the-top negative takes about every film they dislike, even without ever seeing the film, even before it's even been released, while dismissing every positive review as "shills."

Some real weirdos post here.

Lynda Carter did the same almost 50 years ago, R99. We have really never changed since then.

[quote]Why, it's almost as if there is a strange sub-set of posters here who exist simply to post over-the-top negative takes about every film they dislike

Don’t mind them. They’re just a bunch of trained monkeys holed up in some pocket dimension typing negative, divisive shit 24/7. #Supershit #Supershit #Supershit

#Supershit? God, R102, you know how that one particularly bothers me!

Clark, you're always stinking up the bathroom with your supershit. Light a candle next time.

Mexican? Isn't he a Jew from Philly?

A Jewish Superman?? Now I’ve seen everything.

uh-oh. Rotten Tomatoes getting dragged. Are WB and RT manipulating? Hottie Chris Valentino chimed in and tweeted #RottenTomatosGate....[bold] LINK = Film Critic claiming RT Score on Superman doesn't make sense. [/bold]

Rachel Broshanan is pretty dykey.

I don’t love the way Rachel Brosnahan is groomed and dressed in the movie, but her excellent figure still shows through, and her excellent chemistry with David Corenswet will dispense any fears of dykiness you’ve detected from photos.

They are supposed to be opposites: she’s a contemporary realist, a pessimist, a cynic, and he’s a classic boy scout. She is torn between scorning his idealism and being utterly seduced by it. This creates a lot of the romantic tension in their relationship, like and old screwball comedy — or like Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder in the ‘78 version.

Plus, Corenswet’s utterly gorgeous, his sincerity, warmth and humor, combined with those dimples, will seduce a lot of gay dudes, and gaylings will have a new fantasy boyfriend/Daddy to fantasize about.

JFC r109 are you on the Warner Bros. payroll?

Bradley Cooper is Jor-El

No, R110, I am not.

Hard as it may be for you to believe, I saw the movie and liked it. As, apparently, have thousands of others, since Deadline reports a 90% approval rating from those who’ve seen it. And it looks like it will break most records for a big movie opening.

How sad for you.

r112 bless your heart

Saw it yesterday and loved it. Best Superman film since the first two.

Funny, fun and just dark enough. Lex plugging that guy in the skull, Hawkgirl "dropping" the foreign president in cahoots with Luthor, etc...

The stuff with Pa Kent aka Mush hit hard in the heart, too.

Mr. Terrific rocked it. Can't wait for the sequel.

[quote]Rachel Broshanan is pretty dykey.

LuAnne has always been portrayed as butch, even in the comics.

Looks like it’s off to a good start.

Saw it today and overall I thought it was good but not great. There are definitely some things that don't work - the CGI is really bad, some of the jokes fall flat, Lois is miscast, there's too much focus on the Justice Gang characters (Clarke Kent barely has any screen time). For all the things that don't work, there are definitely some things that do. The story is engaging and moves at a fun, fast pace. Krypto is a real standout. I don't get the negative reviews that suggest Nicholas Hoult is the weak link. I thought he was the strongest actor here. David Corenswet is okay although he doesn't really have an imposing presence and the Superman suit is really ugly. While I don't think this will be one of the most iconic superhero films of all time, I do think it's worth seeing in the theater with an open mind.

Fuck the MAGA “Superwoke” asshole. I bet they’d prefer to cream to Dumps shitty AI image that was embarrassingly posted on the FUCKING WHITE HOUSE ACCOUNT.

And yes Superman (an immigrant), just like their beloved Jesus, would be a liberal.

r118 who the fuck are you talking to?

I've given up trying to interpret the numbers when everything these days is considered a "bomb."

I’m sick of superhero movies.

Stop already

@MattTheater claimed on Twitter that "this scene sparked a thunderous applause from the audience at the theater on Wednesday night."

Milly Alcock was absolutely wonderful in House of the Dragon but what in the actual fuck was that scene with Supergirl? Was it supposed to be funny? It certainly didn’t make me want to see anything with Supergirl that may be on the horizon,

Disgusting, R118. Warner Bros./DC Comics should sue.

[quote]"this scene sparked a thunderous applause from the audience at the theater on Wednesday night."

Same at my theater. We all leapt to our feet clapping, tears streaming down our faces, yelling “Brava!” and “Encore!” I never understood 20-minute standing ovations at Cannes but I do now.

Shaking and Crying!

As promised, here is my Superman review. I’m crying! My eyes are watering. There are tears streaming down my face.

Stop, Already, With Superhero Movies Ending With Big, Dumb CG Smash Battles:

How else is a superhero movie supposed to end? It is a very basic formula and they alllllll follow it.

I’d like to see Corenswet in a jockstrap.

The movie seems to be a dog, but the dog seems to be a 3D dollface.

[bold] I don't get his deal with the Man Spreading. [/bold]Seriously? Nobody ever told this fem how to sit like a normal person? Does he think it makes him look masculine?

How does a normal person sit in a chair and think this is how you're supposed to sit? He has been doing this for years.

He looks like a string bean before.

While Endgame had a huge battle scene near the end, the last few scenes were actually a funeral, Cap returning an infinity stone, and coming back as an old man. The ending is a flashback to young Cap dancing with Peggy Carter to the strains of Harry James's It's Been A Long Long Time.

Well, going by that metric then Superman didn’t end with a big battle either. A lot of stuff happens afterwards.

The monkeys in the movie are freaking out social media. Not kidding.

How so?
