I'm absolutely beside myself at the poor reviews pouring in. Wow... It's down to 70%. I'm speechless. Well, Emeraldknight and myself are going this weekend to have a blast. I have little doubt we will have a rollicking good time along with some good food and drink afterwards. No critic is going to ruin this for us.

We will agree to disagree regarding the Donner films. I mean no disrespect, I am simply of the opinion that they are not good, nor did they make me 'believe' anything.
The suit turned green when he flew. Because if it were blue it would disappear into the background. That's why weathermen don't wear blue.
When you understand Chroma Key (the technique used for flying sequences) the effect is that it will always look dated and fake, like those silly roller coaster films you used to be able to buy at the mall.Looking for Green Arrow accessories, Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver, and Japanese Popy Megos (Battle Cossack and France, Battle of the Planets, Kamen Rider, Ultraman) and World Heroes figuresComment

The majority of critics do not like heavy superhero movies because they feel it's absurd to treat a comic book character as if it has dramatic ability. If you read critics when they talk amongst each other, you see how they bemoan the idea that these are now the studio's version of character studies, because it relegates old-school drama to cable and a handful of small films per year.
It's why they love Marvel. Their films have the weight of marshmallow fluff, so critics go in looking for a few laughs and a steady pace.Comment

The first two Donner films (well the Donner and the Donner and Lester film) had a minimum of blue screen shots because of that. Most of the flying was done with the Zoptic sychonized front projection process and looked fantastic. By the way, all modern DVD and blu ray copies color correct Superman blue screen shots so his suit is blue again. I seemed to remember only a couple times his suit looked green before (the Hoover Dam approach shot for instance). I still think of the first Suoerman movie as my favorite comic book movie.

The production design is top notch, the casting creative, the tone and atmosphere are all on target. The story was fun (despite creative changes to the mythos) and even the soundtrack, while strange, still works with the film.
But I make no illusions that it is a better film than Batman Begins, it isn't. But that doesn't mean I can't love it, or become lost in its world.
I simply can't do that for the Donner Films as they aren't for me. Doesn't mean that same standard applies to you and I am not attempting to (nor would I succeed) take anything away from your enjoyment of them.
But it is my opinion that we have yet to get a good Superman film, and I stand firmly behind that opinion, as it applies to me personally.
