Yeah I enjoy Superman 3 a lot because it is so goddamn corny. I was just wondering why that guy complained about how Superman 1 was goofy but then said Superman 3 was downright good.

I was just wondering why that guy complained about how Superman 1 was goofy but then said Superman 3 was downright good. As goofy and bizarre as Superman III is, it really comes off with a greater sense of self-awareness to it. It feels like Adam West's Batman at times. I'm not totally defending the film. It's a weird and flawed movie with a whole separate Richard Pryor movie tucked in there. Still, I get how someone could enjoy it more and enjoy the silver age goofiness in a way they did not enjoy the goofiness in the first two movies. I'd also be lying if I didn't say that Clark beating Superman wasn't a bit formative for my view on the character.

There's a pretty good review of Superman III here and here that makes the case - somewhat persuasively - that it's the best of the movies, or at least, the one that's aged the most gracefully. I'm not about to go back and verify because this close to the release of Man of Steel, I'm trying to take it light on Superman media because I want to be able to judge it on its own. But I do have a soft spot for 3, even though it scared the living poo poo out of me as a child.

If I remember it's not so much a Superman movie as it is an idiotic attempt at a PG Richard Prior movie. Superman's just a supporting character who's Superdickery is the only redeeming aspect of the movie. But it's been forever and a day since I saw it, so I could be remembering wrong.

Gyges posted:If I remember it's not so much a Superman movie as it is an idiotic attempt at a PG Richard Prior movie. Superman's just a supporting character who's Superdickery is the only redeeming aspect of the movie. Anyway, there is a lot of Superman in the movie. And in a lot of ways, it's a take on Superman that is closer to the modern conception of the character. It really pitches the idea of Clark not only being a pretty awesome dude, but the real heart of the Clark/Kal-El dichotomy. The Richard Pryor stuff isn't really too different than how the first two Batman sequels dealt with their villains. It's a tangential villainous origin story in which the villain and hero do not or barely interact during the first act and then come to a head in the third act. The problem is that Pryor's character and plot are confusing and weird as gently caress with it not being really clear if he's a bad guy or not. It's a really flawed movie, but it's also a sequel to two other flawed movies.

Also it looks like they photoshopped enormous bodybuilder veins into his suit arms, that's just nasty. all i can figure is they wanted more contrast by keeping the color palette smaller. It even looks like they may have photoshopped the color (as would make sense) on the crest in order to get it to be blue since its a slightly different shade of blue and oddly inconsistent in its shadin quality

I need someone to take away my bank account, I've been buying way too many old Superman things this week because of how hyped this film is making me. And I have a line on a coveted piece of Superman merch I've wanted for close to 5 years now.

Wow, that article totally shifted my opinion of Superman 3. It really is that Silver Age wacked out stuff. That said, if it were up to me to greenlight, I'd never let another Superman movie get made until they figured out how to reanimate or clone Christopher Reeve. He's just too perfect, no one is ever going to approach his level of basically being the character.

They could always create a bald villain with some sort of disease that makes him HUNGRY for the DELICIOUS STEM CELLS of NEWBORN BABIES that he has to suck out of them or his body breaks down into a paraplegic state. I'd pay to see that. edit: Why DID Reeve lose all his hair anyway?

McCloud posted:I have to ask, is the reason people like the old Superman movie primarily nostalgia? I watched the first one yesterday, and it was kinda bad. Kinda real bad. The first hour was hopelessly tedious, everything about the antagonist was laughably bad (his only two henchmen are a bumbling retard and a pin-up secretary who constantly gives him poo poo?), his "grand scheme" was insane in the worst way (The greatest crime in history was a real estate scam? Really?) and Lois's monologue asking Superman if he can read her thoughts were just terrible, and the whole ending was just superbad, even by silver age standards. There were some glimts of greatness, mostly from Marlon Brando, but I just can't understand why so many people remember this as a good movie. What am I missing? Even as a pretty big Superman fan, this movie was terrible. Sort of, yeah. A lot of is pretty dated and cheesy but Chris Reeve's loving IS Superman and sells it really well. He's the living prototype of the character for that era. For the time it came out, Superman: The Movie worked fantastically and in spite of its flaws, really did nail some of the essential elements of the character and the folklore. The effects were great for their time. There's a lot Americana, for lack of a better word, in the original that takes a really jaded and cynical person to brush aside. Then again, I'm old and remember seeing it in theaters as a kid so, yeah, I'm sure nostalgia enters into it. It's sort of like watching The French Connection, Taxi Driver or Mean Streets now and wondering what the hell was so gritty, violent and hard hitting about any of those films. Man of Steel is looking positively off the chain right now though. This might one of the few movies that actually gets me to a theater.

Anyone else at their local Walmart bright and early for Man of Steel tickets? There's like 8 people ahead of me in line. Tickets are cheap, too. $9 for 2D, $12 for 3D.
