There we go, just finished II: Donner. While a bunch of things at the end didn't make a lot of sense, this version is a ton more enjoyable than I remember II being.

WB Confirms More 3D Superhero Movies
At ShowWest today, Warner Brothers executive Alan Horn made an announcement regarding the release of the studio's future superhero franchises. All DC Comic Book Films will now be distributed in 3D; an announcement that many knew was bound to come. That includes the upcoming Superman reboot and Christopher Nolan's third Batman film. Horn also responded to the outward criticism of late regarding films that are converted to 3D in post production. Horn said, on behalf of the studio, “in our opinion, conversion to 3D doesn’t lessen” the quality of the 3D experience.

I think everyone should watch III and IV, just because it helps prove that removing Donner from the Superman movies was a monumental mistake. IV has to be watched simply because it makes you really wonder why Gene Hackman would agree to return. I remember hearing that Reeve returned because of future project deals but serious, they must have thrown a truck load of money at Hackman.

Superman (Reeves) to Batman (Burton/Schumacher) will be the golden age. Blade (1998) to Hulk (2003) and the Spiderman movies the Silver Age, Then we had, and are getting more into reboots, with Spiderman, Superman, Hulk , Fantastic Four, I'd still expect a Supergirl movie somewhere down the line, being rebooted so this can give us the bronze age.

Soon the movies will be like comic books, being done over and over again, the only difference between the movies will be redone every few years because people didn't think the first movie was good enough (like Hulk, and also like the two F4 movies) or because not enough money was made.

Superman Returns, although it's more like a sequel we had to wait 30 years for than a reboot.sigpic

Now that I think about it, since Returns was based on Lesters II, they don't need to come up with an excuse for reuse Marlon Brando's head, they could recast the role of Lara's head.

Yeah but that's my point....I was always under the impression that Returns is a sequel of sorts to II (Lester) rather than a reboot."A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in.

I always saw Returns as a sequel to II as well, not only because it's was the only real way to do Superman movie without doing a new origin story and because of several key plot points that are directly inspired from II specifically. That is the thing that annoys me though, that Kryptonians have that weird psychic beam and worse, Superman's plastic suffocation shield.

Yeah....I howl every time I see that Family Guy bit where they make fun of the plastic suffocation shield"A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in.
