The NZA Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 So, it comes out soon, and i only recently caught the trailer, so now im hyped. Am i understanding this right, is this supposed to be so many years after Reeves & part 2 (the best one of the lot), saying he left and now he's back in this one? Kinda ret-cons 3 & 4 outta existence? Cause i never figured where Batman Begins was supposed to fit into the old fimls, if at all. Us fanboys & our continuity issues. I'm expecting us locals to do another fanboy meetup. Anyone else hyped? After X3, i wanna enjoy this.
Newtype Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 Wait they made a part 3 an 4. I'll be up for it. I just need to know a few days ahead of time to take the day off.
archangel Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 Batman Begins, from what I understand, was supposed to pretend the other Batman's never happened.
The NZA Posted June 18, 2006 Author Posted June 18, 2006 Thats what i thought, which is cool, cause after 1 (mebbe 2) i wanted to do that, too. I gotta see my medic schedule, but im down for a meetup...what day of the week does it come out, should we do another midnight screener? ps neither of you 2 are hyped?
Jables Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 I'm semi-looking forward to this. Just sore still that Singer left X3 to take on such an(my expectations aren't high: How does one pass off primary colours as credible in this day & age?) uphill skate. Comes out here I think- 25th June?

Yes I am hyped up about this movie. Just thinking about hearing the Superman theme is giving me the chills. Can't wait for it.
Reverend Jax Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 I'm hyped, I'm down for a meetup, particularly a midnight screener. Adn you are right about the continuity. Go in thinking 1 & 2 happened, then this one, adn 3 & 4 will never happen according to thsi one.
Iambaytor Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 I dont know, I thought the first four Superman's were pretty campy and I like retconning 3 and 4 cause they were pretty cheesy. I mean dont get me wrong, they were good, but they just didnt fit in with this new more serious Superman.
bishopcruz Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 I wouldn't mind ignoring 1 and 2 to be honest. I just rewatched them, and while Reeve plays an AMAZING Superman, I was horrified to discover just how much of my love for them was the haze of nostalgia, and that both films have holes in them the size of the San Andreas.
Reverend Jax Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 and that both films have holes in them the size of the San Andreas. Well, in the second one, Lex Luthor blows up the San Andres, so there's the San Andres size hole from part 2. I don't remember such a hole in part one.
The Irish Kowboy Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 That picture makes S-m look as if he has elephantitis to the ballz.
Pauly Shore Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 This movie looks very good. I wonder if it will standup against the cheesy 80 Reeve flicks that were a staple on the cable stations back in the day.
The NZA Posted June 24, 2006 Author Posted June 24, 2006 right, so...anyone see it yet? fanboy reviews i read said it was fun but campy, not really better than the original 2....we'll see.
MusicManiac Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 I'm gonn see this bitch on the IMAX on the 28th if I can... can hardly wait! I heard Spacy is the bomb in it.
bishopcruz Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 Well, in the second one, Lex Luthor blows up the San Andres, so there's the San Andres size hole from part 2. I don't remember such a hole in part one. That was part 1. Part 2 had the trio of crazed kyptonians. Which means you probably haven't watched them recently. Do so, it'll open your eyes. fanboy reviews i read said it was fun but campy, not really better than the original 2....we'll see. Campier that hte original two? Because if that's tghe case it's gonna be REAL campy, those first two were campy as FUCK!
The NZA Posted June 25, 2006 Author Posted June 25, 2006 shit, the review's not on their front page anymore...im misquoting, it didnt say more campy, but closer to it than expected, i think they said Luthor hammed it up...but its only one review, and its the only i read so far. basically said if youre a fanboy who dug the old films, youll love it, if not, chances are you might not.
Drifter Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 The best thing to come out of Superman 2 Zod for President 2008! Zod 2008
Newtype Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 The best thing to come out of Superman 2 Zod for President 2008! Zod 2008 That good sir was priceless.
Reverend Jax Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 So if we're gonna doa thing for this, we gotta make plans soon. Rotten Tomatoes currently has 14 fresh review to 4 rotten, for a 78% ratio. I generally like to wait until there's at least 60 reviews before seeing the the percentage is representative of the critic base.
Reverend Jax Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 I'm down for Wednesday. I could duck out of work early on Wednesday.
Mr. Exclusive Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 Panchy's down too! I'm REALLY looking foward to this! The trailers I've seen give me goosebumps!!
bishopcruz Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 ok, sounds good then. Wed, it is, later the better I figure.
