The nature of DC heroes is more morally serious than what Marvel puts out, but that is apparently not what this generation of ADD movie goers wants. They want Thor, The Avengers, and Transformers.

Simply put: Superman takes itself far too seriously, and tries to be more than it really is. Avengers doesn't.

I liked the characters, I thought Cavill was very solid, Shannon was awesome, and all the support was strong (and kudos to them for putting in three BSG actors). My recent appreciation for Russell Crowe was also satisfied since he brought a certain gravitas to Krypton (A Zod/Jor-E...

 | re: Lost vs. Fringe: Which did you enjoy more? - Freauxzen on 6/17/13 at 6:53 pm As an experience AT THE TIME OF RELEASE, Lost was probably a better experience, but not a better show. There was just so much going on and so much fandom about it, there's no denying it was fun and worthwhile.
Separate Lost from that moment and it's a vacuous, horribly constructed show with nary ...

Again, much of that is actuall...
