I still say “Superman IV: The Quest For Peace” is the worst Superman film ever…

Leave a comment

I just got done watching “Superman IV: The Quest for Peace” on Blu Ray, the final Superman movie starring Christopher Reeve. Yep, I still say the film is the worst Superman film ever made. I had to stuck through it just to make the money’s worth for the Blu Ray set.

The film is not all the way bad, however, there were just a few good scenes. For example, I loved the scene where Clark goes back to his Smallville home where Jonathan and Martha Kent used to live. I also actually liked how Superman showed the emotional side of him when he refused to respond to Jeremy’s letter on getting rid of Nuclear arms. Plus, Lex Luthor’s nephew, Lenny (played by Jon Cryer) was actually a good character and funny too. Those are the good things I can say about “Superman IV”.

Everything else is just really bad. Too many plot holes, terrible special effects, some of the action scenes were very silly and plus, Nuclear Man is just a horrible villain. I’ve read somewhere that Christopher Reeve was the one who created the Nuclear Man character ’cause Chris had a hand in the writing part for “Superman IV”.

I find it really sad that “Superman IV” had to be Chris’s last Superman movie. I just wish Chris could be around to make another one. RIP Chris Reeve.

The Superman Blu Ray set is really nice so far though. I’m loving it so much! I’ll watch “Superman: Returns” on Blu Ray later this week.

I really hope Zack Snyder makes a good “Superman” movie, seriously!!!

Leave a comment

As I continue to watch the “Superman” Blu Ray set this week, I keep thinking to myself, man, I hope Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan really makes a great Superman movie that we can all be happy about.

I’ve watched all of the 2nd disc of “Superman: The Movie (The Expanded edition)” and I just got done watching “Superman: The Movie” (theatrical version). To be honest, I hated the Expanded version of “Superman: The Movie”, so I can see why Warner Bros. didn’t release it for theater. The original is, of course, better. The reason “Superman: The Movie (expanded edition)” didn’t work was that it turned Superman into a negative direction, when Superman is supposed to be lovable and heartfelt. Warner Bros. took out all the bad scenes and re-edited it to a more positive version which would become, “Superman: The Movie”.

Back to Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan’s version, it would probably be an origin story, but I’m sure it will be much different than “Superman: The Movie”. A lot of people are accusing Zack Snyder of turning it into an origin story. As I said above, Superman is supposed to be a lovable and heartfelt character. I hope Zack Snyder’s movie will be just as good as “Superman: The Movie”, it won’t be better, of course, but close enough.

We need a Superman movie where the audience would walk out of the theaters with smiles across our faces. We want a feel good Superman movie done with heart. Make the Superman movie action packed and where he saves a lot of people, fighting crime and all that stuff. That’s the kind of Superman movie we all want. It’ll probably be another Superman & Lois romance, but I hope they’ll concentrate more on the details of the Superman character. Zack Snyder’s movie is supposed to be “Why Superman”, I hope he gives us that.

Yes, Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel” movie will indeed, be a big special effects movie with CGI and all that stuff, but I’m really looking forward to seeing how Zack would treat Superman visually. Zack is a visual film maker. He does things quickly and knows what he wants. I liked “300” and “Watchmen”, thought he did a good job with those movies. Of course, Zack will probably have plenty of slo motion effects for Superman as well.

The reason everyone wants a good Superman movie because Bryan Singer’s “Superman: Returns” wasn’t that great. I hope Zack and Chris Nolan gives us a good Superman movie. I believe in them. I believe they won’t fail!

Cool Photo: Warner Bros. releases Superman and The Dark Knight teaser poster!!!

Leave a comment

Warner Bros. just released this poster yesterday. Now to keep in mind, this isn’t just a Batman poster, it’s Superman as well. Look closely, you can clearly see the Superman S shield on the first building on the left. This means that both Superman and Batman are coming to theaters in the Summer of 2012. So the Summer of 2012, will be a big year for superhero movies indeed! Very cool poster and already psyched for both movies. Yes, I will see both films in theater as I love both characters as well.

Report: Harry Lennix casted as a military general for Zack Snyder’s Superman “Man of Steel” film…

Leave a comment

Over the weekend, a new Superman “Man of Steel” casting has been announced. An actor by the name of Harry Lennix, who can be seen in two of the Matrix movies, “Matrix: Reloaded” and “Matrix: Revolutions” has been casted as a military general. However, this isn’t the military General Christopher Meloni will be playing, a different General. Harry will be playing a character named, General Swanwick. He’s an original character. This character was never in the comics and the other films. While Harry’s character of General Swanwick was made publicly, Warner Bros. is still being secretive on the details of the character.

More on the story, here.

Zack Snyder said this is going to be a different Superman movie than all the others, and it’s starting to show with them adding original characters.

Original characters have been written for the earlier Superman movies before. Ursa was never in the comics and also, Nuclear Man from “Superman IV: the Quest for Peace” was an original character for the film as well.

I should be getting the “Superman: Motion Picture Anthology” Blu Ray set soon. I plan on ordering it from Amazon this week, hopefully.

Report: Update on Christopher Meloni’s role in “Superman: Man Of Steel”… he won’t be playing either Lex Luthor or Perry White!!!

Leave a comment

When Chris Meloni was announced for “Superman” everyone thought he would be playing Lex Luthor or Perry White. Turns out he won’t be playing either of them. Vulture caught up with Chris himself and he revealed that he will be playing a military General but he couldn’t get into details about the character.

More on it, here.

Noticing that Chris will be playing a military General, my wild guess is that he’s going to be playing, General Sam Lane. It’s the only other General I can think of in the Superman franchise. Michael Shannon already has General Zod.

Report: Julia Ormond will play Lara in Snyder’s “Superman: Man of Steel”, Christopher Meloni to play an undisclosed character…

Leave a comment

Woah, is the new “Superman” film by Zack Snyder going to be full of hot MILF’s or what? First Amy Adams for Lois Lane, then Diane Lane for Martha Kent and now we have Julia Ormond in talks to play Superman’s Krypton mother, Lara. Julia is most famous for her role in, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”.

The 2nd Superman casting this week, Christohper Meloni former “Oz” and “Law & Order: SVU” star is in talks to star in the film with an undisclosed character. Meloni’s character for “Superman” is not being revealed at this moment but the speculation is that he could be playing Lex Luthor.

More on the story, here.

As for Christopher Meloni’s character. I don’t think he is Lex Luthor. I think Meloni is the new Perry White, the head honcho of the Daily Planet. He would make a great Perry White more than Luthor, in my opinion.

After leaving “Law & Order: SVU”, Chris Meloni is already getting big movie roles. Looks like he wants to be a full time movie star now as I predicted he would! He’s becoming too famous for TV much like Steve Carell.

Repor: Richard Donner speaks on how the “Superman” movie theme was conducted…

Leave a comment

In celebration of the new Superman Blu Ray boxset, Richard Donner sits down for an interview with UGO to talk about John Williams amazing score, for “Superman: The Movie”.

Enjoy the read, here.

Will John Williams score the music for Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel” film? I’m pretty sure Zack and Chris Nolan will get him. It’s not a Superman movie if John doesn’t score the new film, so he probably will score it. It’ll be a shame if John gets replaced.

BREAKING NEWS: Russell Crowe in talks to play Jor-El for Zack Snyder’s “Superman: Man of Steel” film…

Leave a comment

FINALLY!!!!!!

After several weeks of Superman news slowing down, it’s starting to pick back up again! Oscar award winner, Russell Crowe is in talks to play Jor-El, Superman’s biological father on his home planet of Krypton.

Variety, reports.

The casting for the new “Superman” movie is amazing so far. While I’m sure Russell will do a fantastic job playing Jor-El he won’t be able to top Marlon Brando’s epic performance in “Superman: The Movie” and “Superman II”.

I’m glad the casting for “Superman” is on a roll again.

Hopefully they cast someone for Perry White or Jimmy Olsen next. I would like Al Pacino for Perry White and Jesse Eisenberg for Jimmy Olsen.

Cool Photo: Is this Superman’s new “S” shield logo from Zack Snyder’s and Christopher Nolan’s new Supes flick????

Leave a comment

“The Licensing International Expo.” is happening in Las Vegas this week and there it teases films from “The Avengers”, “The Dark Knight Rises” and Zack Snyder’s “Superman”. Above you see Superman’s official new “S” shield logo for Zack Snyder’s “Superman”.

Which is way fucking cool. I love it!

I was a little worried that Snyder and Nolan were going to make the “S” logo differently, but it looks like they are keeping the Superman costume the same red, yellow and blue, and the “S” logo will be the same as Christopher Reeve’s.

Hopefully soon, Snyder, Nolan, and Warner Bros. will reveal what Henry Cavill looks like in the Superman suit.

The question is, will they do that at this year’s San Diego Comic Con? That’s what I’ve been wondering myself if Superman and Batman both will be at this year’s Comic Con. According to reports, Superman and Batman will NOT be at this year’s comic con.

More on the story here.

Remember, Superman and Batman franchises have been avoiding the Comic Con’s for years, but never say never. Maybe Warner Bros. will be there to reveal some stuff about Superman and Batman out of no where to surprise the fans. The Comic Con events are always full of surprises, you never know what will happen at those things.

Back to Zack Snyder’s “Superman”, I’m sure he will stay true to the franchise and you can already see it with the logo above. Zack knows what he’s doing, he’s a huge Superman fan like most of us, so I don’t think he’ll fail this movie at all.

Tomorrow is a big release day!!!

Leave a comment

Two HUGE releases are set for tomorrow. Yes, the “Superman – The Motion Picture Anthology” comes out on Blu Ray (It’s for Blu Ray only, the new “Superman” set won’t be available for DVD, I don’t think) and “Duke Nukem Forever” video game both hits the shelves tomorrow.

Yes, I plan on getting both of these. I will get the “Duke Nukem” game first sometime this week.

I do plan on getting the “Superman” Blu Ray set but I’m going to wait for several weeks to save up cash for it, ’cause obviously the “Superman” Blu Ray set is very expensive. I really want it really fucking badly though ’cause you all know that I’m such a die hard Superman fan. The Superman set looks fantastic. The Superman set doesn’t only have the 5 Superman films which includes Bryan Singer’s “Superman: Returns”, it also has a bunch of Superman animated films and a few documentaries. Plus I heard the sound and the picture of the 5 films is way better than regular DVD. I’m so definitely getting the Superman set sometime, not right now though.

I’m excited for “Duke Nukem”. Glad the release date is staying for June 14th and not being pushed back anymore. The game is finally here! I fuckin’ love “Duke Nukem”, man. Used to be obsessed with the older games back when I was in high school. Used to play the older games on the PC for hours.

The new “Duke Nukem” game will probably sell pretty well. So will the new Superman Blu Ray set.I am noticing that Blu Ray discs are becoming way more popular than regular DVD’s. DVD sales are dropping while Blu Ray sales are going up. I would like to start a Blu Ray collection and buy more but they are pretty pricey. I want to get the Superman Blu Ray so maybe that’ll be the start of my Blu Ray collection. I do have a few Blu Rays. The only Blu Ray discs I have in my movie collection are “WWII in HD” and “Memento – 25th  Anniversary”. I could buy all my favorite movies on Blu Ray and sell the same film on DVD to get rid of it.

I’m just waiting for the prices on the Blu Ray discs to drop down. The prices will drop, the more popular Blu Ray gets, just give it time. It will happen.That’s what happened with DVD when DVD first came. DVD’s were very expensive when they were first invented but DVD prices dropped the more popular they get. Same will happen with Blu Ray.
