So much this! Yes, Superman is an 87 year old property and it will be subject to change over time, but that was unneeded. Previous movies... I almost walked out too @pengbuzz, not just for that alone, but I figured I'd paid my ticket anyway and was looking forward to seeing Supergirl... which it turns out, I needn't have waited for anyway... Gunn did good with Guardians of the Galaxy. The mix of comedy and gag-shtick worked very well in that series, especially as it was not as well known, but not Superman. For me, they come from two completely, tonally different perspectives. What worked for GotG should have stayed there. Maybe I am 'romanticizing' it too much, but I've always felt Superman had a lot more deeper emotion and gravitas than I think Gunn is capable of addressing. This is probably the only time I'll watch this movie. Superman the Movie, Returns and Man of Steel were world's away better! In my opinion.

Alright, just got back from seeing it, and I am feeling really nostalgic for Superman Returns and Man of Steel... For me, this leaned too far into the comic and comedic arenas, starting with the scene with Krypto jumping all over a wounded Supes. That set the tone for the rest and, IMO, just missed everything important about the mythos of the character and the world he lives in. That's not to say that there were not some nice moments, but they were swamped by too many gags that took precedent over drama. And... For the first movie in Gunn's rebooted DCEU this was not a good start, IMO. So far, the lackluster MCU is still beating the DCEU over the head. My score - 3.5/10.

@nightmareB4macrossThat is a drink bell deserved!

i.e. I love the games, but... I'm pretty sure he could make a good, compelling story even when sticking to the plot of the games.

Upscaling a classic: yet another massive 3D-printed SDF-1
Thom replied to tekering's topic in The Workshop!
The angle showing the light right between the firing arms is a great shot. Looks like it's about to blast Dolza! -
That is a great looking line-up @pengbuzz! Glad you were able to get those finished up.

Co-author with David Webber on the Starfire series and numerous other works all his own, he has passed away from cancer. Baen Books posted on Facebook about, though I have yet to see any others. Truly sad. I really enjoyed the Starfire books.

@joscasle What a hunk of... lovely plastic! A classic ship done right. @pengbuzz You have a real nice kitty right there! @Papa Rat That's just after the chrome stripping? Dang, I like that color combo just as is!

I'd take this as them trying to sell off as much as possible before people start seeing the movie, which is not good. If it was good I'd think they'd want to hold off and build anticipation fueled by good reviews.

Real glad to see the Shuttle being finished up @pengbuzz. It's looking good on its stand.

Saw it today and was pleasantly entertained. I was expecting less, but the actors and director did a fine job. The story is pretty straight forward, but it is just a vehicle for the character interactions/drama and the action, all being done very well, IMO. No JP sequel has been as good as the first, but this is now favorite second. I'd give it an 8/10.

Will be popping in to see it next Tuesday. I hope it's good, as me and critics (ie, people paid to tell me their opinion) often differ.
