I attended the Superman red carpet premiere. Ask me anything.

People didn’t like Jimmy Olsen being shot in the head but it happens again here and that kinda ruins the mood of the movie. They didn’t have to do that. They also didn’t have the shot of Clark leaning in, lowering his voice and saying “Miss Lane.”

After all the hysterics of “WHERE’S THE DOG?!” and it isn’t even his rescue dog? It’s a foster situation which takes the sail out of things. Hawkgirl is a crazy screecher and murderess. Jimmy is a player. Why are all these kids just hanging around on the streets in a dangerous attack zone? Don’t stand a few feet away from where a Kaiju might step on you! Do they not have parents? Why are kids on the frontlines of war? Why are all the people working in Lex’s office okay with mass murder of a city’s population?

Loved when Topher Grace showed up in a surprise cameo at the end in a crazy wig.

Why on earth would a person expect a trailer at a premiere?

They had trailers at the Top Gun premiere. Most were for Scientology but still.

Several reviews have declared Hoult as the weak link. Please confirm or deny.

Hoult is excellent in this. The only part I didn’t like was when he shot the falafel seller in the head when he was only trying to help Superman get up. The message Gunn is sending is don’t help. The only weak link is Dora the Explorer and Cat Grant and Beck Bennett. They had nothing to do.

Supergirl as a total drunk was a different take.

Watched the French cam version this morning and it was... fine? So many things that worked, but then oh so many that didn't as well. And the relentless jokeyness was too much, I can see now why the British reviewers didn't like it. Favourite part was obviously the dog, least fave was the goofy Martha and Fillion's chewing gum, although I had many problems with the shitty line delivery from two of the metahumans as well. The hungover Supergirl at the end did not land for me AT ALL, sorry Milly Alcock.

All in all, a mixed bag if I ever saw one.

Nathan Fillion? Really ? That's the best they could do in all of Hollywood?

We had a great time at the Superman premiere.

Who else was better than Nathan, R8?

[quiote]Who else was better than Nathan,

Anyone with a SAG card.

Do they pay people to write these over the top movie reviews here? Cause you know they’re all crap and I can’t imagine a significant amount of DLers interested in them.

or in actually seeing the film R12

This kind of film is generally not my thing, but I hated this movie. It’s a jumbled mess of cgi effects and little heart. There is no dimension to the characters or the relationships. And speaking of characters, there are too many of them. The script is just not good. I’ll stay home and watch something like The Bear, where I know the writing will be good and the characters are engaging.

Why did the country that Boravia invaded have no army?

Who would have thought Jimmy Olson was such a chick magnet?

I am not a superhero film fan and decided to go for the air conditioning...It was really quite good. Much clever than it needed to be. David Corenswet is hot AF. My biggest complaint is that they gave him a lousy costume and even when dressed as Clark Kent, they didn't show off his body. I wonder if he wasn't as fit as he needed to be?

My brother drove two hours to see it in IMAX and said it was great and worth the drive.

THIS. His costume is godawful. I really hope the fans will agree and make a fuss about it on social media so that the filmmakers will fix it before the next movie.

Please, they did it on purpose. What do you want, the fake rubber muscle one?

Yet another blockbuster DLers are losing their minds over. It's like this every time a big movie comes out. So weird.

What shade of red was the red carpet?

Reeve looked like Superman. Even Cavill’s costume was decent. Corenswet’s looks like something cheap you’d buy at a costume store to wear on Halloween.

Like the rest of Gunn’s filmography, this movie is not very good. The best that I can say about it is that it didn’t make my shortlist of “Worst Movies I’ve Ever Seen” which sets it apart from Gunn’s “The Suicide Squad” and “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3”. Still not good, though.

I like Anthony Carrigan! Is he as good here?

[quote] Reeve looked like Superman. Even Cavill’s costume was decent.

Cavill didn’t look like Superman at all. His costume was all wrong without the speedos and his hair looked like dry hay.
