Re: Superman Man Of Steel

Director Mathew Vaughn said if he get's to direct Man Of Steel 2 that it'll be a modern version of Donner's Superman. Yes & bring back the Superman theme while you're at it. https://batman-news.com/2017/09/18/m...teel-2-vision/

A version of that will be in Justice League.

Re: Superman Man Of Steel

With all due respect, that wouldn't be keeping within character or "today's" Superman.

I'm not saying he has to be surly everywhere, and you can throw Donner's Superman in some instances that's not hokey, overly colorful or saving a cat in a tree, if you will... you can tread softly toward that direction, but you can't take a complete 180 either.

Still would like a MoS sequel though, and if this is what Matthew Vaughn feels he has to do I won't try and fight it. I just hope he doesn't feel that everything needs to be so much different than it was before. That's what I think JL is doing at times, forcing things like "Hey, we can have fun and smile and provide comic relief!" It felt so natural in WW with Diana's fish-out-of-water behavior, so maybe they can do the same thing here, but don't change characters just for the sake of doing it after you've already established them.

On the topic of MoS, I was very negatively critical of this film when it first came out, but currently it may stand right on top of my favorite DCEU film. The action scenes are now the only scenes that I don't like (which is quite unfortunate) and although I find the Krypton prologue necessary I also like watching the film without it, but I really do like the Supes origin and the way he handles himself most of the time.

WW becomes too generic in the end for my blood, and SS has editing woes up the wahzoo. BvS Ultimate Edition saved that film, but also like WW it did not pan out at the end. All of the films really end up sitting in overall superhero mediocrity for me, but MoS continues to climb the totem pole little by little, even without rewatching it for quite some time.

I concur. MoS was always top tier for me. People feel how they feel, but the Donner Superman is not the Gold Standard, IMO.

Re: Superman Man Of Steel

Superman The Movie will always be my fave superman film. I just love the overall tone & feel with the epic music. I also love the the current version of Superman & don't think they need to completely go back to what the original was. Just combine some of the elements of Donner's Superman with the new & I'd be happy. I never want to see a complete rehash as I have the original that I'll always love. Plus Superman Returns already tried that & I liked it but it was time to move forward.

Saw Superman The Movie 6 times in the theater when I was 9 years old. I have fond memories of that film. I still watch it from time to time. I have the Reeves Superman Box Set. The Movie and II are all time classics. III and IV oh boy.....pretty bad.

Superman Returns was awful.

MoS I really enjoy and so far has been my favorite DCU film along with Suicide Squad. WW was good, BvS Special Edition was ok. I really hope JL kills it.

Yes I really like MOS as well & look forward to it's sequel MOS2. I think JL will be great from the look's of it. As with any superhero flick it won't please everyone. I love that were getting these film's that really was only talked about for many years.

I agree.....with all due respect to Christopher Reeve, the Donner Superman is too corny for me. MoS is my favorite.

Well, let's face it. It was the relatively early days of starting to generate really good superhero movies. Not much followed soon after. You can say it was groundbreaking and paved the way.

Add me to the Superman The Movie crowd.

I must've seen it 25+ times during my life, love it.
