Superman Returns is the closest I'd say they've ever gotten to making a decent Superman movie. I don't really understand why people hate it so much. Fair enough, but I meant more the way he does it. Also, pre-crisis was a very silly time. Oh, that's my other problem with this movie: Humanity DOESN'T suck. This wouldn't happen if this actually became a law and that's been proven by society throughout history. I HATE cynical movies and this one looks about as cynical as it gets.

Thought I'd start a thread to talk about the weekend box office. Here's this weekend's estimates: May 24-26 1 - Fast & Furious 6 - $98,528,000 2 - The Hangover Part III - $42,415,000 3 - Star Trek into Darkness - $38,000,000 4 - Epic - $34,200,000 5 - Iron Man 3 - $19,424,000 The Hangover Part III made half as much this weekend as The Hangover Part II in its first weekend. That's pretty sad, but considering how awful both of those movies are, neither should have made that much. It's nice to see Star Trek hanging in there. It's actually starting to catch up with the first one. Also, Iron Man 3 this weekend, only three weeks into its run, is now the 5th highest grossing film of all time, worldwide, with a total international gross of $1,142,306,000 (est). And rightfully so because it's easily the best of the three. One could even argue the only good one...

Why are they wearing masks if they can't get arrested for anything that they are doing oh god just a few more characters left?

First of all, Batman has traveled through time plenty of times. Superman turning back time in the first movie was a thing created specifically for that movie, and at the last minute. As I've said, I don't think there's ever been a movie that has done Superman right (or anything right for that matter). Also I'm actually not a big fan of Goyer. Jumper's a TERRIBLE movie and I think he's the reason for all the major problems I have with Batman Begins. The Dark Knight Rises is all Nolan's fault though. That's just one of the worst freaking movies ever made. Anyway, I'll make you like Superman: Read "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?" "All-Star Superman," and "Superman for All Seasons."

Somebody said I could post these here, and it does seem appropriate and relevant to discussion. I'm a film critic and I run a website, the URL of which is in my signature. Here are some audio reviews I've done recently. http://blip.tv/sploichcom/sploich-reviews-scary-movie-5-2013-6569433 http://blip.tv/sploichcom/sploich-reviews-star-trek-into-darkness-2013-6588348 http://blip.tv/sploichcom/sploich-reviews-the-hangover-part-iii-2013-6592764

Superman's got plenty of personality. The problem is there has never been a good Superman movie. From the trailers it looks like Goyer REALLY gets Superman, so I'm really excited. As a content creator, I have to ask you: Please don't pirate movies.

Full disclosure right up front: I got the idea to make this thread when I realized I'm not sure which movies to review this year on my very small budget. Let me know what'd be worth my money and what would be a waste of it. That being said, what I REALLY want this thread to be about is in the title: What are you looking forward to? Here's my list: Man of Steel This Is the End My Little Pony: Equestria Girls Monsters University (though admittedly more for the short before it than the movie itself) The Smurfs 2 (like 37% ironically, the first one wasn't as bad as people assumed) Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters Insidious Chapter 2 (seriously, if you haven't seen Insidious, see it immediately) Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 (might be the one I'm most looking forward to) Gravity Thor: The Dark World The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Frozen The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

I used to watch NC's stuff and got pretty comfortable with the way he left, even though I couldn't stand the new show he started. Then he came back. And brought along the people from that other show. And now his show is unwatchable to me. The sketches are pointless and his jokes just drag on through multiple episodes in a very annoying way. I'm still a big fan of people like Linkara, Film Brain, The Cinema Snob, Phelous, Bennett the Sage, Obscurus Lupa and even Spoony despite his abrupt and embarrassing removal from the website. I used to watch a lot of others on there (Todd in the Shadows, Nostalgia Chick, etc), but their cynicism just became too much for me to deal with.

Can't really pick just one: Heroes: Batman, Captain America, Superman, Aquaman, Darkwing Duck (he had a comic, he counts!). Villains: Joker, Ozymandias, Scarecrow, Two-Face (ironically though, I'm half-and-half on him ).

Most animated films are made for a child audience and it is believed that children have a short attention span. It does explain why Pixar's longer films don't do quite as well as DreamWorks' shorter ones at the box office.

So, question: How do you add a signature? Do I need to wait until after I'm a blank flank?

Hi there, Sploich here. 25. Male. Houston-ish. I run a website called sploich.com where I review movies. Movies are pretty much all I live for these days. That and ponies. Ponies are pretty cool. If you want to be my friend that is awesome because I am desperate. But seriously, I always enjoy becoming a member of a new forum. See you around!
