Already down to 86%, I bet this levels out in the 78-83% range.

The complaints about the reactions tweets never cease to amaze me. Always from the same disgruntled folks, too, who, in reality, whine mostly because the tweets are posted by me. I could post the cure to cancer and they'd still find something to ***** about, solely because I was the one posting it.


I think the issue (at least for me) is having to scroll through multiple pages of tweets to find the actual posts and discussion.

Do we really need this many?

Also I wonder if it it's not just easier to keep them all on a single post for easy reference for those who care to scroll and see them all. (Maybe on the first page?)

Just some ideas.

I'll continue to cut back/consolidate on future movies, but because these were such crucial reactions, it was late at night, and they were all posted roughly together/around the same time, I just let 'em rip.

Oh no. Did you purposely steal Trump's recent quote, just to see if we could get this thread nuked beyond all recognition once and for all?

I have no idea what this is in regards to, but I can assure you I would never purposely quote Trump in this way.
I believe Trump recently said he could cure cancer and would still be grilled because ... well, for reasons, I guess.

Anyway, I'll find out staring in 4.5 hours if this movie is worth all these pages of posts that seemingly have nothing to do with the movie (and TBF, that I've contributed to).

Here's another idea. You compile all the Tweets and then have an open Zoom call 24 hours a day. Whenever one of us gets on the Zoom call, you stop what you're doing and read the tweet reviews aloud to us, and then we can either cheer or boo you as the representative of each movie. Also, be prepared to do male or female voices as well as different accents like you are a living Alexa.

Also, post your home address in case anyone wants to come complain about the # of Tweets you're posting face to face.

The reported silliness is what concerns me. I'm one of the few that liked the darker tone of Man of Steel. If it's too campy it loses me.

I respect Jeremy Jahn's reviews and this was one of his main complaints. Need to find that balance of drama and humor.

Silly like Superman II or III, and I won't like it.

Silly like Superman IV, Batman Forever or Batman & Robin, and I'll actively HATE it.

I liked Snyder's approach to the DCU and where he was going with his story, but I also liked Richard Donner's approach to the original Superman movie.

I liked the dark approach that the snyder movies took, I just wish they had been written much better. But I am definitely ready to get back to a more bright, fun, optimistic superman, like the original movie. And I do like Gunn's humor and his mixture of humor and heartfelt. I liked all three Guardians movies and Peacemaker, so i'm feeling pretty optimistic about this one.

My first thought when I saw that Krypto would be in this movie was "ughhh".

My first thought when I first saw footage of Krypto was "Heck yeah". Kinda like that old statement relating to the original DCU and Guardians of the Galaxy, that ended something like this - "here's a raccoon with a machine gun". Gunn earned a benefit of the doubt by his work on Guardians of the Galaxy (loved the first, thought the second was pretty damn good in its own right, didn't care for the third that much).

But I fear I'm never going to get the story that I really want, which just so happens to be at least a part of what Synder was building to - Darkseid.

Yeah, if the Snyder-verse had just been planned more carefully, with some patience, it had the potential to be really good.

After 125 reviews it seems to have settled at 86%.

Assuming that sticks, here are the official Superman RT rankings...

90% - Superman: The Movie
88% - Superman II
86% - Superman
72% - Superman Returns
71% - Zack Snyder's Justice League
57% - Man of Steel
39% - Justice League
31% - Superman III
28% - Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
14% - Superman IV: The Quest for Peace

Also, for everyone seeing the movie tonight, I just started a spoiler thread...

https://texags.com/forums/13/topics/3548774

As always, please take all spoiler discussion to that thread, and keep this thread to general, spoiler-free reactions only.

Thanks!

He liked The Dark Knight and I think that's about it. He always complains that our "prime movie-going years" have been dominated by superhero movies, and then when you really get him going he'll start *****ing about "warehouses full of clone armies," which I think maybe happened in one superhero movie he saw, but he swears happens in every superhero movie he's ever been forced to sit through. He just really, really hates CGI fights and all that kind of stuff. Honestly, I can sometimes see where he's coming from, but I guess I'm able to mostly tune that stuff out.


"Prime movie going years"

Love it. The MCU came out in the prime time that my family and I could enjoy it. Too bad DC couldn't get their crap together aside from Nolan-verse Batman

I didn't care for Snyder making Superman a dollar tree Batman. They are two sides the same coin; one dark and one light.

Gunn took a movie about a raccoon, talking tree and space pirates and plugged it full of family themes.

Yondu's funeral in GOTG vol 2 is an all timer scene for me. I'm glad to see that he appears to have nailed this movie

The AC was out the first time I saw Star Wars as a kid. Made the Tatooine scenes very immersive.
