Superman (2025 Movie)

I saw the James Gunn’s version of Superman on IMAX Saturday, and I loved it.

It looked wonderful visually on IMAX.

I loved the performance by David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman as well as the rest of the cast.

In addition to the action, I also enjoyed the humor in the picture.

Don’t listen to the haters from the Woke Right. This movie isn’t woke.

I’m looking forward to seeing it again soon. I recommend everyone to see it in theaters.

I give it a grade of an A-.

ENJOY!

Not often that we get political angst sprinkled into a movie review. This one must be a something. lol

Retitled, 'Wimpman: The Lost Innocence"

Those saying that Maga calls this “woke” are just leftist bots and media.

This movie is actually MAGA and Lex Luther is a evil anti-Maga loon.

The problem is, it’s not a good Superman movie, its a “good,” multiple superhero, spoof-comedy MESS! It should have been marketed as a spoof, and titled WIMPMAN!

Wimpman is kind of entertaining, but very cringe. Not a respect-full epic Superman. Lois wears the pants in this family. It’s not about “immigration” Its even got Bimbos, including a bimbo Supergirl a stud Jimmy Olsen and a rabid Superdog.

The other Cringy mess about it was for me, the pathetic, fake-digital, bad-kind-of-grainy-dim IMAX. Might as well wait for TV.

Which is almost always why a political debate starts around a newly released movie - because the movie itself is junk.

It looks good and I actually want to go see it. Plus it’s a bit of tradition for me to see every Superman movie in theaters out of obligation. I’ve done it since Superman Returns when it came out when I was 16.

Such a young pup :grinning:.

Hopefully going to see it on Wednesday.

Man I feel old as dirt these days. Like everytime I talk to my cousin I have to remember she was literally a toddler when 9/11 happened. Where as I was in sixth grade and remember it like yesterday. So she has no memory of what that time was like.

Which I guess it’s the same in the opposite sense for me and people your age. I was a toddler when the USSR collapsed. So I have no memory of that despite how important it was when I was 3 years old. Whereas guys in their 50s now remember it like it was yesterday. It’s crazy how aging is both different and the same at the same time.

I hear you on that.

It is impossible to feel emotionally attached to an event that happened before we were born. Of course we can empathize with a historical event but it will not have the same impact as for those who were there and remember the event.

Take 9-11 as an example, people complain the younger generation do not care about it but that to them its an event in history. Their world where 9-11 happened has always existed.

Not sure if this makes sense but hope you get what I mean.

My post above was waiting approval overnight, The word b i mb o? Or s t u d? Or what?
I still have a copy at bottom of this thread saying “awaiting approval” with a red “delete” at the bottom. :sweat_smile:Do I push the Delete button?

Talking about not remembering history–how many remember “Cinerama” shot on three actual film cameras or one 70mm film camera and shown on the widest curved screens. IMAX is garbage by comparison. It’s de-evolution, renamed “digital” “CGI” and “AI” for the Lumpen Literati.

It makes perfect sense. People are often defined to an extent by important events they were old enough to really experience. For my generation, 9/11 was that key event. Yeah we were only in middle school but we were old enough at that point to understand the gravity of the situation.

Speaking of movies…
I worked 2 jobs and had no time for movies.
Iam on my last legs and I have not yet been to a movie theater or a drive in…( in this country ).
But I heard of " Who Is Afraid Of Virginia Wolf " and actors ‘nominated’ for this and ‘won that’… :thinking:
So the other day it was on TV and I didn’t want to die before seeing one of those ‘Big Name’ movies.

Well… :astonished: :roll_eyes:…it was the worst 2 hours of my movie experience.
I was emotionaly exausted after 2 h. of that screaming and fighting among the 4 drunks.
Boy…if E. Taylor won anything there she sure deserved it. Me…I was to tired from all the rukus that I don’t even remmember how it ended.
UGH.

This is something I know a little about.

Cinerama was really just a-novelty and logistical and cost challenges were what caused the failure of this new way of watching movies. Movie studios found the format expensive and complex. Plus it was not possible to scale up cinemas to accommodate this format.

Cinerama pioneered immersive movie experiences but IMAX for a multitude of reasons including its digital evolution, enhances picture and sound quality is what has become the norm.

Funnily enough IMAX like Cinerama started off as a way to immerse audiences in educational and documentary style movies.

Sound and image, Imax was a cheaper downgrade from Cinerama. Imax was a poor man’s Cinerama.

Today, IMAX as evidenced by the terrible quality of this plasticized Superman, will disappear as well. Aboriginal Devo humanity of today doesn’t care and doesn’t have the concentration powers of gnats. Pulp media shrinks down to phone size. Mind at the end of it’s tether, ends in the alley of TikTok disease. Right now.

Like it or no Imax is going nowhere. We have an entire movie industry built around Imax. Plus with digital Imax can adapt to new technology which is something Cinerama could not and cannot do

This is the realm of reincarnated, dark ages barbarians. Golden Ages in this ugly samsara are very brief and never widespread, otherwise they’d never aspire to leave their prison. Even now they are rebuilding and rebranding the tower of babel again. Endless federations of rats climbing walls, up up and away, back to Mars to relive the protozoan swampy, days of yore. Glory Ameoba days of slug consciousness.

I’ll cut Superman a little slack, but not IMAX or any digital movie, compared to real films.

Snobby nostalgia. (Though i quoted one post this is a response to a bunch of them in this thread)

Nobody wants to watch Pi by aronofsky or memento by Jonathan Nolan

They would rather watch black swan (or requiem for a dream if they are 90s kids) and the Batman trilogy.

There is nothing wrong with imax - the 70mm Oppenheimer was showcased…. At imax theatres :upside_down_face:

Nolan, Tarantino and Anderson are the only ones using real 70mm film. IMAX is always forced to use digital transfers and 4k masters. Digital images will NEVER approach real film. I am talking about image and sound quality. Even Nolan with Dunkirk had digitized transfers that were grainy in Imax.
IMAX and digital are regressive.

The 90’s films you mentioned were all hampered by digital editing and transfers. It’s not about “nostalgia” it’s about greater picture and sound quality and anything digital is worse than anything done with real film and analog sound recording.

Even holograms are recording on real chemical film. Digital holograms will never be at a quantum level just as digital lasers will never reach the level of actual lasing of gases or solids. Digital will never beat analog.

That’s a fair response
