| Last MoS thread for me...possibly the highest-grossing movie of all timee - EthanL on 6/17/13 at 7:00 am
All the conditions are there...
It has had the biggest opening day in June...
It has worlwide appeal
it crossed the 100 million mark.
This will easily be a 2 billion dollar movie.
That is insane for a first in the franchise...

They showed him on Krypton. Motherfricker was/is huge.
Best scene to me was Superman standing in the desert with the military to his back and Zod's ship closing in as the camera panned aerially.
Epic....

Let me explain:
By now, most of us, even in a relatively short life span of mine (37 years), realize that America is not 'just another nation', but is far from perfect, and never will be.
But the fact remains, there are some, be they hopeless optimists, or just downright extremists...there are...

I for one am so glad Superman has laid the foundation for the DC Universe, officially.
A lot was at stake here, and that's what critics don't get. This Superman, HIS story, is what everything in DC will revolve around, and for THAT reason, a lot of things either (1) have to go or (2) not be menti...
