I didn't even know Chris Cornell was in this, I only recognized the score. lol That's cool, though.

And I agree about the script being the problem, especially since pretty much all these people have been great elsewhere; like I said I'm a big Amy Adams fan, so it's like wtf happened to her?

And I never liked DBZ as a kid cause I always saw the talking episodes. Maybe I should go watch that Superman vs. Goku video with ItsJustSomeRandomGuy as the Supes voice.

SPOILERS

Went in with somewhat low expectations and ... yeah, I actually found most of the acting pretty bland, except for Michael Shannon becoming a rage monster near the end. That was fun. And Amy Adams got better as it went on, but her too-soft voice towards the beginning was eh. And I love Amy Adams usually, so I hope she gets better as the series goes on. At least when she ogled Superman, she didn't bore me to death. Everyone else more or less came off as forgettable to me, though, even Superman.

However, the action scenes were flipping awesome to me, and unlike what I was previously led to believe, the shaky cam was fine, and nowhere even close to Hunger Games levels of irritating. This is genuinely the first use of shaky cam and constant zooming I've liked since Bourne Ultimatum, and I loved the insane fight scenes that went into outerspace and took place in the sky, etc., though you're right, Supes causes a lot of damage when he could probably have gone elsewhere, but insane building destruction is just a thing in superhero movies, I guess.

I really hated that thing about the bus, and Pa Kent's death especially, so I agree with you there.

Anyway, I'm actually glad Snyder made this, cause he's clearly the force behind those action scenes along with SFX, and that was my favorite part. I actually really did enjoy it, but I hope now that this origin is out of the way, they can have more interesting plots and the acting can improve. It is my favorite Supes film to date, at least, and I've seen the first two Donner films ... ok, I actually might like II more, but if so, this is a close second.

Anyway, as a movie, I enjoyed it enough despite a lot of the flaws you mention. As a hype machine for possible Justice League, it got me pumped.

Oh and, I suddenly want to go to IHOP or Sears.

In all seriousness, I understand where you're coming from, mostly cause my Freshman year of college I was "that" atheist guy, and while some conversations called for it, sometimes I was just being a dick with no real provocation from people in the room.

When I say something like "could have done without the Christian bashing" on one of your blogs, it's cause I find it a bit irrelevant to the blog's topic, and see it as unnecessary. If you talk about things like homophobia or anti-scientific thought, then I'm on your side, but those are specific things not all Christians are on the wrong side of, and in that case, there'd be more context. 

If you want to see what a giant hypocrite I'm being right now, go to my 1up or Google Blogger accounts and read my 08/09 posts. I did a lot of my own out of place bashing. 

I look forward to discussing this more if you want, I realize I'm being a bit vague, that's for brevity's sake. I deleted a much longer comment earlier.

Thanks! And Sessler was definitely cool.

Thank you.

Yeah, I don't like zombies, either, but I would still like to play Last of Us at some point. Wonder how much the Boston inaccuracies would bother me, considering I only visited once in 2006.

I was a Catholic, then the Red Sox won a World Series in 2004, and I just said to myself, "there's no fucking God" and started wearing their tee shirts. There's really no more context to the story.

I'm raising my kids Catholic though, the little fuckers walking around today have no discipline.

I am a part-German agnostic-atheist with a Catholic upbringing named Joseph S. and I demand some fucking discipline!

No money saving up for me, I got in free, on a friend's invitation. lol The scheduling was a bitch though, had to choose between things I really wanted to go to.

I'm surprised you know brentalfloss before Angry Video Game Nerd and Sessler, both of them are definitely much more well recognized than brentalfloss by quite a wide margin, but brentalfloss is the only one for whom (aside from maybe Spoony, I have to check) I attended all his events, and the guy is awesome, so it's cool you know him.

Fun fact: my ex-girlfriend Sophomore year of college was a huge Harley Quinn fangirl, and referred to me as Mister J. I used that as my DJ name when I had radio practicums.

It was fun.
