Was he a big superman fan beforehand? It's been getting trashed by a lot of movie critics. I was cautiously optimistic with Nolan's involvement but thought the trailers were just ok. Looked a little too sfx heavy for my taste. Probably a rental for me.

Yeah, the trailer had me thinking it was going to be really well received, but man there are some really, really negative reviews of it out there. Normally I'd give a somewhat negatively reviewed movie a chance, but in this case, I think tomorrow I'll go see This Is The End instead.

[Jocephus]

my understanding that nolans "involvement" is essentially giving him gobs of money so his name will be attached. i dont think he's really doing anything with it.

The negative reviews I've read we're mostly that its too "dark" (I'm guessing similar to batman). I guess most are looking for a happy version such a Christopher reeves versions.

But I'm actually thinking dark is the right way to go...I mean, if an alien came to earth, and had all these special powers....you don't think every govt on earth would be trying to capture him, put him in a lab, and try to run all sorts of experiments on him? I doubt we'd all embrace him as our own, and be one big happy family....

I'm excited for this version for that dark, realistic approach.

I really liked it. I thought it was great. One of my favorite superhero movies of the past decade or so. Also note that I've never really been a Superman fan. I was sort of pessimistic going in, because it was at something like 52% on Rotten Tomatoes the last time I had checked. Anyway, I pleasantly surprised.

I'd much rather see a Raimi-esque Superman. I don't find the character interesting (which I'll admit doesn't entirely add up as I do like comic book movies) so I'd be much more interested if they had some fun with deus ex machina the man and didn't take it too seriously.

I finally watched Looper last night. A lot darker than I was expecting. I loved the scene in the diner where JGL is trying to figure out the details of time travel and Bruce Willis is like "shut up! I doesn't matter!" It was very meta.

Anyway, I liked the movie a lot, loved the message of "loops" in our lives that we have to stop. Want to watch it again to see if I can pick up any more meaning from that. Overall, though - Looper:Primer::Oblivion:Moon

Finally saw Silver Linings Playbook. I'd say it's a high quality rom-com that doesn't insult either gender, and tackles some serious issues along the way.

And Jennifer Lawrence. There's nothing new to say, but damn. What can't she do?

Have we seen her naked yet?
