I’d bet that I would have enjoyed this movie much more if I hadn’t just seen Superman. They take different approaches to the same idea: making classic superhero stories work in a more modern way. I really thought I’d enjoy the FF’s retro-future Earth more than I did, but there’s too much style and not enough substance.
I enjoyed it while I watched, but it isn’t lingering in my head.
Today’s fake poster is based on a different “Superlative and a Number” team.
I’m a bit of a comic book nerd, so I don’t think I can accurately judge how normal humans will feel about this movie, but I freaking LOVED it. A charming, likable Superman in a movie that isn’t afraid to have fun? Count me in!
I had a good idea for today’s poster, but I kind of whiffed the title logo. But it was fun to try and remember how to use Adobe Illustrator!
These were both spur-of-the moment choices. One choice was better than the other.
I was looking through free stuff and this popped up. I thought “Hey, I remember that being funny- I’ll watch it!” It does not hold up. Most of the jokes are only funny if you don’t already know them, and there was so much cheeseball nudity that I kept hiding my screen in case my spouse woke up and thought I was watching seventies porn.
It’s also very much made for people who watched movies and TV in the seventies. I’m guessing most people under thirty would have no idea that a huge chunk of the movie is a direct parody of Enter the Dragon.
This is not a great parody poster, but it’s a better parody poster than this movie deserves.
My students finished testing early, so we had an hour and a half to fill. I pulled up the first age-appropriate movie I thought might interest them that I could find.
This movie is so damn good. I hope the final part eventually gets made, but it doesn’t feel very promising. It’s currently scheduled to come out on my birthday… two years from now.
This parody poster isn’t terrible, but this movie deserves a better one.
Man, this movie holds up. It’s a superhero movie that respects the source material without taking it as gospel. So good to see it on a proper screen.
Side note: when this movie came out I remember thinking “that guy is way to old to play Norman Osborne.” Now I watch it and think “Hey, look at Willem Dafoe’s baby face!”
Is it bad that I kind of want this?
