I don’t even think there were any shortcomings, other than studio interference.100% Reeves.
Legit the iconic portrayal of Clark Kent as the demure, trodden on type of everyman. Then just the ideal heroic portrayal of Supes.
Despite its short comings due to age, his Superman movie is absolutely iconic.
Yeah I mean mostly the fact that it definitely appears "dated" due to some effects. But even that is barely a complaint for the movies.I don’t even think there were any shortcomings, other than studio interference.
looks like the Kingdom Come Superman.
Alex Ross's art work is awesome. I read Marvels a few years back and it great art work from him.I only recently got back into comics. Kingdom Come was fantastic. I like Ross' work. When I think of what superheroes would look like in a real life, I think of stuff like this.
For those that don't know, KC tells the story of the newer super heroes screwing things up and the retired Golden Age heroes in their old age have to come back and set things right. Some of the best art in comic history. There's just something about the art that conveys epicness:
Yeah. I don’t hold that against them. As in all cases, I try to judge movies by the standards of the day, not the standards of today.Yeah I mean mostly the fact that it definitely appears "dated" due to some effects. But even that is barely a complaint for the movies.
tom welling was a decent superman. he was wholesome and also jacked
Years ago at Dragon*Con I attended a Smallville panel with most of the show’s cast, except Welling.
I swear, they spent half the time talking about how huge the guy was and how they all felt like hobbits because they all had to do their scenes with him standing on apple boxes.
Craig>BrosnanUsually I'm a jaded asshole when comparing new movies to old movies, and generally prefer the old movies because of nostalgia.
For example I don't like Daniel Craig as James Bond, and have always said Pierce Brosnan and Sean Connery in the role.
But I can also say that Ben Affleck was the absolute best Batman since Michael Keaton, but by only a slim margin.
But here, I can absolutely say Henry Cavill was a 10/10 casting for Superman and surpassed Christopher Reeve in both physicality and acting. He absolutely was born for the role, and at the same time isn't typecasted and his superior acting ability has landed him in many other roles he's just as good in. He is one of the very few actors I'd pay for a ticket without knowing anything about the movie.
Which is your favourite “fan expo” comic con type experience? Do you have any other stories? I enjoyed this one
