annericelover Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 I think the plane sequence was an homage to the Bruce Timm DCAU Pilot episode of Superman: TAS. Actually, Superman saving the plane in S:TAS and Superman Returns was most likely an homage of John Byrne's Superman: The Man of Steel miniseries. Cool, thanks for the knowledge. I still need to bone up on my Superman comic smarts. I just thought it was funny how Superman in both the Pilot and movie ripped the wings off of both planes.

slothian Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 MEGA-BUMP: This is an interesting thread to revisit! In that this was all pre-Iron Man, and thus pre-MCU, it'd be interesting to get people's thoughts 10 years on, says I. And I'm a Super Admin or whatever. NB) I won't contribute as it would spoil the return of Comic Reel-lief. And no-one wants that spoiled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Wow! Nice find, Ian. I'm gonna have to give this some thought, because my list is completely different now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donomark Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Some films in terms of how bad they are have gone up in recent years, at least to me. Dolph Lungren's Punisher is a great Punisher movie, and I'll brook no f'n argument on that. People have also been nicer to Constantine, Speed Racer (lol Ian) and even the initial F4 films of late.

Missy Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Since my previous list was from January 2008, I'm going to make another listing only movies released between 2008 and now. Because Marvel has had such a foothold on the genre and industry since the release of Iron Man, this will be Marvel-heavy. HM: The Avengers 10. Black Panther 9. Iron Man 8. Deadpool 7. Captain America: The Winter Soldier 6. Guardians of the Galaxy 5. Thor: Ragnarok 4. Avengers: Infinity War 3. Dredd 2. The Dark Knight 1. Logan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-T Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 The #1 spot obviously goes to Batman & Robin from 1997. That movie was just awesome. Perfect portrayal of Bane. Right, @James D. and @The Master? Just kidding. Don't ban me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothian Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 As far as I'm concerned, Thor Ragnarok should die of gonorrhea and rot in hell. #lacesup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a very entertaining movie but the joking around while Asgard is annihilated and after who knows how many people were brutally murdered really takes you out of the movie.

On paper there's a ton of tragedy that occurs throughout the movie, but Taika Watiti is too busy being glib and wacky that it really doesn't resonate at all. And it comes off as too similar to the Guardians movies IMO. It throws out the identity of the first two Thor films in favor of one that's not really there. The first act is really fun though. Everything up to Thor's arrival on Sakaar (except the lame chain joke at the beginning) I really like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
