I couldn't disagree about Man of Steel more. This is the best Superman movie we were going to get. It could've been SO much worst.

Didn't expect a discussion about Sexual Chocolate Mark Henry but it was welcome!

These are great! I totally agree with Rorie on Man of Steel - thought it started out good and got worse as it went on.

I never agree with Alex's taste, though. He's my Armond White!

I think Bruce Greenwood (Captain Pike from new 'Star Trek') would make a pretty good older Superman.

I love how Alex and Rorie seem to have almost completely opposite views to the RedLetterMedia guys.

Just shows, I guess, how relatively useless movie reviews are.

The part when you find out that Kal-El has the DNA of every Kryptonian inside him was pretty crazy. Did Jor-El actually have the same plan that Zod did except he would rebuild Krypton on a baren world?

I still thought it was a fun movie. I liked the little LexCorp reference during the final battle, i wonder how they'll introduce Luthor in the sequel.

Edit: On a side note, Rorie mentioning the movie "Clue" inspired me to go watch it again. I don't think i've seen it since initially discovering it on TV years ago. If anyone hasn't seen it then go watch it on Netflix or Youtube.

The parody they did on Psych was a pretty good tribute to it as well.

"Sequel?" Don't you mean "Reboot?"

This has to be the new name of this thing. It's utterly perfect. I think all of us will be disappointed if you don't choose this.

It sucks to be a critic. You can't live through a movie without getting the urge to tear into everything you think they slip up.
