Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
--Lord Alfred Tennyson--

In my own opinion, this is also the coolest thread. Hehehe

I can imagine how this would've played out in the movie...

Lois Lane: I can see your underwear.
Superman: It's not underwear. On my world they're fashionable trunks.
Lois Lane: [smiles] Well, here it's underwear. How about you wear those on the inside, like the rest of us?
Superman: Very well, when on Earth...

So I bought the Blu-ray the other day and I was not disappointed. Sure I had seen the movie back when it first came out but nothing compares to watching it in the comfort of your own home. Aside from the film itself, which I loved, the special features are amazing. Having the 75th anniversary short to watch at anytime is just icing on the cake for me.
I really enjoyed the movie. I would say that I go as far as cautiously loved it. I had some major problems, but mostly with how certain scenes were handled. Jonathon's death just made no logical sense to me, and I think Amy Adams is passable at best for Lois Lane. I actually think Faora's actress, Antje Traue, would have made a superior Lois. Also, they should have cut out the entire beginning portion on Krypton. Jor-El's awesome sequence where he explains to his son the history of his people could have been rewritten to cover all that information. Instead, it felt redundant.
That said, I found more of the movie I loved. The flight scene was flawless, we finally see what Superman is really capable of on the big screen, and Cavill makes a wonderful Superman. I also loved the alternate take on Jonathon and Zod. Jonathon in particular really felt like a man who was struggling to deal with how to raise a boy with incredible powers. Up until the nonsensical death, I was loving the performance.
As for Zod's death... I really like it. The more I thought about it, the more I liked how they didn't give Superman an easy out. He was faced with an difficult ethical choice, forced to make a heartbreaking action.
Life is but a dream
