It bums me out that BvS didn't perform well enough to stop the meddling, but the end result may turn out for the better. Ultimately I think both Man of Steel and BvS are very hopeful and optimistic superhero movies, and I'd prefer it if Snyder, Affleck, and Terrio could put out Justice League without too much interference, but it doesn't seem to be going that way.

Richard Donner is 86 years old and hasn't stepped on a set for a decade, I wouldn't exactly see him surviving the shoot. Hell, on a modern blockbuster he'd probably croak during pre-production. Directing big movies cuts years off your life. Especially ones that cost more than some GNPs. edit: as for the running zombies thing, generally people that argued back about 28 Days Later either got "those are different, they're infected people", or they shut that complaint down and people just moved the goalposts onto complaining about the believability of zombie babies or something. Nobody ever brought up Return... I'm just reporting what it was like back when it came out. I'd imagine that if the AICN comments on reviews from back then still exist something would probably show up there. 300 was at least comparably straightforward in that people screamed it was fascist and basically Iraq War propaganda.

CelticPredator posted:If directing big movies cuts years off your life, Ridley Scott must be eternal. Ridley also practically took the 90s off. The biggest budgeted movie he did was GI Jane and that was $50m in a time when an adaptation of the TV show My Favorite Martian somehow cost $65m. His production cost for an entire decade was around $140m (in comparison, James Cameron spent around half a billion over three films). And even since then, he has peppered a lot of less-expensive projects in between massive productions. A Good Year was an excuse for him and Russell to hang out in Tuscany for a summer. The Counselor cost like the catering budget of Robin Hood. American Gangster cost $100 million in a world where $150m was basically the ground floor for big productions. He still hasn't spent more on one film than he has on Robin Hood, ever, over his whole career. To be honest I'm surprised he's still alive, given he's the lone surviving brother in his family, which is even more stressful, especially when both of the others committed suicide. That's a lot of pain to carry around. Corek posted:Richard Donner and especially his wife Lauren Shuler Donner have literally been producing all the X-Men movies. Nobody cared. Well, Richard only had his name on the first and X-Men Origins. Lauren is also the one who negotiated the deal for those film rights, so of course her name is on all the movies. The same way Amy Pascal's name will be on every Spider-Man movie so long as Sony releases them. I still can't quite figure out why Jon Peters had his name on Man of Steel - I'm going to guess that some aspects of it were scooped from the previous pre-Returns Superman false starts that he had been shepherding and it was a legally required credit if they wanted those sequences in the film.

There does seem to be an undercurrent among many MoS proponents that his traditional depiction of nigh-faultless morality and perfect ability is no longer compelling though. Never seen the Donner movies* so maybe they aren't that, but that seems to be the implication of the post you responded to. At least if it's at the expense of more mature/realistic/balanced/humanistic/whatever you'd call it studies that MoS is a part of. OR maybe put another way, it would still be a bummer if the DC films were homogenized to have the same tone as for example the MCU movies - I'd give it a chance but at that point I'd rather watch RDJ over Cavill if the character beats aren't there. *Sorry thread! never found him an interesting character until MoS made him seem more fallible/touchable.

He's definitely not a faultless moral paragon in the Donner films, they're worth a watch. Just a lot of the choices are kind of broad. Clark Kent isn't just a nerd, he has to be the biggest loser nerd who ever nerded. The Donner films do capture one of my favorite aspects of Superman though, smugness. When Lois jumps over a waterfall to force him to save her proving he is Superman, and he just lets her flail and eventually knocks down a tree branch with his vision to save her while never turning into Superman, it's loving great. I wish Cavill was a bit more smug.

I wish Cavill was a bit more smug. I like his lack of smugness. But I will say that Donner's original Clark-is-Superman reveal ruled and let Lois outsmug him. Lois pulls out a gun and says "I know you're Superman, Clark, and I'm gonna prove it!" and shoots him. And of course Clark cringes away, then straightens up and says in his Superman voice "Lois, that was very stupid. If I wasn't Superman you could have killed Clark Kent." And Lois smiles and says "With blanks?" don't think too hard about it

The thing I like about Donner's Superman is that, by the climax of the film, he is a god. Turning back time and changing Lois' fate is basically him saying "gently caress fate, gently caress having to choose, I'm Superman!!!" The only problem with it is that, like the ending of The Matrix, it doesn't leave you much of anywhere to go from there.

Well, whatever the standard "other" version that brought people to complain about MoS. My only other exposure to the guy is on Lois and Clark (hehe), that just seems to be the commonly assumed alternate depiction. I also read Kingdom Come but mostly just admired the artwork.
