    I can live with heavy CGI if its really interesting style (300, Sky Captain) but not if its just... effects and glitz.

    Well obviously you need a mix.  Batman is supposed to be a detective type, grim and gritty.  Superman should be noble and uplifting and heroic.  Flash can be whatever they want, which apparently is a dumb spaz kid.  Its just got to be a mix instead of everyone the same way because Batman made a lot of money.

    I looked it up and the villain is Steppenwolf.

    None of the women from that article look like they're on steroids to me.  They all look like crossfit trainers to me.  The girls at my gym that do crossfit certainly aren't juicing, they're just in really good shape.  Good muscle tone, less than 5% body fat, just like Serena Williams and some other tennis players I've seen as well.

    It's as if Snyder looked at the costumes from the Jenkins movie and said, "Those aren't authentic Amazonian costumes, I know what real Amazons looked like -- I've seen Xena: Warrior Princess!"

    I saw the movie last Wednesday and loved it. My only issue was Thor being affected by the star wars slave bolts when the sfx sure seemed taser / electrical.

    Completely ignoring the fact that Odin has enchanted at least one similar hammer (Stormbreaker) with the same powers as Mjolnir without having to wrangle some cosmic storm into it.

    If Affleck is too disillusioned (or trapped in the bottom of a booze bottle) to continue in the role, just back a dump truck of money up to Christian Bale's door and pretend that it's been him all along.

    While I had qualms about suicidal Pa Kent trying to raise a fearful, apathetic hermit and thought the destructo-porn final battle went on quite a bit longer than it needed to, Man of Steel didn't entirely fall down on giving us a recognizable Superman. Clark was willing to surrender and sacrifice himself for the good of humanity, took a strong moral stance against his fellow Kryptonians when they revealed themselves to be genocidal war criminals, and even showed a bit of charm and a smile or two in his interactions with Lois Lane and General Swanwick. (I'll remind people of the scenes with the reverend in church, Lois in the interrogation room, Colonel Hardy in the wake of the battle in Smallville, and the conversation with Swanwick at the end.) There was a lot of potential for him to develop into the Superman we know and love from that introduction, Snyder just pissed it away in his eagerness to film The Dark Night Returns.

    I didn't catch more than a few episodes of Voyager and Enterprise after they premiered, and I've not felt their lack keenly in the years since. I feel no urge at all to sign on for this new streaming service. Maybe if it were 1994 hot on the heels of TNG wrapping it up.

    It'll be on Netflix outside the US. If you're in the US, you're stuck with the CBS streaming service. I plan to wait until the CBS service fails, then watch it when it finally makes it to US Netflix.

    They're going about that all wrong, rewarding the kids for being whiny with tasty foods. You want to condition that out of them. Make "I'm not hungry" split pea soup and "I don't care" Brussels sprouts, and make that their only dinner option if they won't tell you something they actually want!

    No lantern, sadly.  One of the most powerful of the league.
     
    I can't comprehend how they can describe the Superman of those last two films as "a beacon to the world" or that he "didn't just save people, he made them see the best parts of themselves."  That's what he was supposed to be, and would have been with better writing and directing, but that's not what we got in those films.
     
    Which is why they were such a travesty.

    I'd like the post-processing guys to dial it up a bit compared to Zack Snyder's previous DC films. Gaudy is one thing, but MoS and BvS were too dark and washed-out for comic-book movies. IMO of course.
