Even as a Superman/DC comic fan, I'm completely aware of the obvious flaws in Man of Steel. I have to agree with Neil on this one....warts and all, to call it "complete crap" just seems harsh and unfounded. At the very least it was a simple superhero flick like most of Marvel's recent entries. It definitely has it's share of redeeming qualities. To each his own, though. |
Heh. Agreed. To each their own. But there's nothing unfounded about it. We just seem to like different kinds of films. Now, while it wasnt as bad as WWZ, I still couldnt help but laugh throughout the film as I saw it in the cinema because it was so damn stupid. |
This time two comic heroes joining forces, sounds fun |
Joaquin Phoenix to Play Lex Luthor? Interesting! - http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Batma...hor-40774.html |
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

Although just a rumor, I like the idea of Phoenix as Luthor. |
Whoa, just heard Jessie Eisenberg is Lex! |

I love the idea of Irons as Alfred. Not so sure about Eisenberg as Lex, but the kid does have some decent acting chops if you've seen his more dramatic roles. Younger than I would've expected for Luthor, but I suppose Lexcorp was just starting up during Man of Steel, so it makes sense he's be younger. |
My brother keeps saying he's hearing a rumor that batfleck is out. |

LOL, I was simply pointing out that he has indeed played a room commanding billionaire before. Now menacing or commanding? no. . . . but Evil Genius?. . . .probably actually. Still. . I was as disappointed as anyone else when I heard the casting. |
