SDCC 2013: Zack Snyder Announces SUPERMAN/BATMAN Followup to MAN OF STEEL, FLASH and JUSTICE LEAGUE Films May Follow
July 21, 2013 11:57 pm Almost all of the scenes where Superman saved somebody were towards the beginning and those were the best parts of the movie. The problem with the violence and destruction is that after pretty much the first fight with Zod (when he was about to go after Ma Kent and Superman tackles him) is that it quickly became monotonous. There's nothing wrong with the scale of the destruction or even the fact that it's really violent, It's just that after all of the powers are established, they just hit each other again and again until one of them falls down while anonymous gray buildings fall on anonymous gray people. For example, what is the name of the girl who was with Perry White who got trapped under the building? Does it matter? Or is it just to show everyone this is really serious?
I actually thought back to "Man of Steel" while watching "Pacific Rim." "Pacific Rim" had colorful monster battles that leveled San Francisco, Tokyo, Sydney, and Hong Kong and yet still managed to be fun. Each battle had a purpose, never overstayed it's welcome, and had clearly recognizable "beats" (especially the two kaiju battles in Hong Kong, which were fantastic). Even now I could probably give you a play by play of each Kaiju-Jaeger match, whereas pretty much all of the Kryptonian battles blur together.
In the end, there's really only one thing that actually happens during the climactic battle between Zod and Superman (SNAP!) and it doesn't even happen until the very end. Before that they're just throwing each other into buildings and hitting each other a bunch. It looks like a video game and a pretty boring, depressing one at that.

July 19, 2013 3:36 pm So they're just going to ignore Warren Ellis's "Ultimate Galactus Trilogy," huh?

SDCC 2013: Jamie Foxx as Electro in New ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’ Clip
July 18, 2013 3:53 pm No, here's a still of him in his pre-Victor Fries incarnation: http://m.craveonline.com/film/articles/200973-jamie-foxx-describes-his-version-of-electro.
I'm more interested in Paul Giamatti's Rhino. Giamatti probably has given a bad performance at least once in his life but I can't think of it off-hand.
This clip does seem a bit Joel Schumacher-y though.

It’s Official: Fox To Expand X-Men Movie Universe with ‘X-Force’
July 13, 2013 7:41 pm Well, there will be a lot of violence but it'll be mostly bloodless and 2/3 CGI. That said, now all I want in the world is to see a Paul Verhoeven directed "X-Force" movie.
