The ratings I'm seeing here for Superman are actually making me consider never posting on this forum again and cutting all contact with all of you.

And I'm not even joking. Not in the slightest.

Eh, my rating might be a little too low. Basically, I have two big problems with it:

• Flying around the world does not make time go back.
• Comedic Lex Luthor and bumbling sidekicks.

The Omen - 5.5

I can understand the second one, and the first I can understand disliking because of its use as a plot device.

But are you really arguing science/logic in Superman?

[dreamdead]

Superman - 7
The Goonies - 3
Maverick - 7.5
Assassins - 2
Conspiracy Theory - 3
Lethal Weapon 4 - 3.5

The Goonies is a film that receives only scorn and dislike from me. Its racism is just infuriating to me, despite its jocular tone. Though I dislike Mel Gibson generally, I like the playfulness of the entire Maverick cast and script.

[Spinal]

Ladyhawke - 7.5 (It would be a ten for me if it didn't have the worst fing music in the history of movies)

:lol:

You guys are being very hard on the Lethal Weapon films. I hope you rate the Die Hard, Beverly Hills Cop and Rush Hour films similarly.

Die Hard is much better than Lethal Weapon or Beverly Hills Cop.

[Qrazy]

Die Hard is much better than Lethal Weapon or Beverly Hills Cop.

Yeah the original but I'm speaking of all the series. I don't personally feel the series is that much better than any of the others.

[B-side]

Antichrist (Trier, 2009) ***½

Good Derek is good.

[Qrazy]

Good Derek is good.

Kudos on your Mars Attacks rating... what a piece of shit.

[B-side]

Oh god. I didn't even wanna put it in my sig, but it's what I do.

Well, yes, of course I am. So, ok, Superman has a lot of powers and they're not realistic, sure, but we as an audience have to know that there are limits to them in order for any story to work. If he can go back in time as he pleases without any consequences, then why do I have to care about anything that happens in the story? It can always be undnone. I have the exact same problem with the time-travelling device in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

And Mars Attacks! is awesome. One of my favorites.

[Mysterious Dude]

Here's my question: If Superman went back in time, shouldn't he have encountered another Superman who was there during that time?

[Grouchy]

Exactly. It's one of the worst cop-outs in the history of cinema.

[Qrazy]

I agree that it's fairly crap and lowered my rating substantially.

Yeah, that surprised me also.

I love the movie, but agree with point one. God, it would have been whopper of an uppercut if [

Show Spoiler

the movie had ended with Supes clutching Lois' dead body in his hands.

Point two not so much. Why? It's Gene Hackman.

[Rowland]

Radio Flyer - 5 (need to see it again)

No, you don't.

[Rowland]

Yeah the original but I'm speaking of all the series. I don't personally feel the series is that much better than any of the others.

Die Hard's 3 & 4 are better than any of the Lethal Weapon sequels and all the Beverly Hills movies.

[Derek]

Die Hard's 3 & 4 are better than any of the Lethal Weapon sequels and all the Beverly Hills movies.

Third one yes, but the fourth kinda sucks.

[Rowland]

Third one yes, but the fourth kinda sucks.

That seems a common perception, but I've found it in retrospect to be one of the most imaginative sequels and cleanly directed action movies of late.

[Spaceman Spiff]

Yeah.
