But somehow when Peter Parker goes missing and Spiderman shows up, and vica verca, is easier to grasp and believe?

It's because Peter Parker is someone nobody cares about...
Clark Kent is a journalist...

I dunno, I guess I can let it slide with Spiderman because the movie actually entertained me. Superman lifted heavy stuff, yay. The old ones had humor and acting, the new one has special effects and lifting stuff. And the major sympathy factor, poor kent can't hook up with lois, is resolved in 4 seconds by kent telling her he's superman. derrr, she's got mad hots for superman.

I don't want to sound too negative, I did enjoy the nostalgic music and feel of the movie. And it had its moments. It just needed more superman kicking ass.

There's already a thread about Superman.... Anyway, the reason, at least in the movie, that nobody would go "Oh Clark kent is Superman!" is because no one cares about Clark Kent. You'll notice that nobody really listens to what he says, and he only got his job back because someone died, not because they really wanted or needed him back.

Besides, Metropolis is a very large city. There are a lot more people than just the ones in the Daily Planet. I'll bet there are at least a few other guys who would fit the description as well as Clark Kent.

/me shrugs and walks away

Yeah, I suppose. Poor Clark Kent.

The highlight of the movie was the dog part. "Weren't there two of them?"

I laughed so hard.

Crash · 07-01-2006, 05:57 PM

the humor was...not that great

The dog thing made me go "ppfttt ha"

When Luther said, "are you sure" and the guy repeated the coordinates, I was like... "ha!"

The funniest thing in the movie is when Luther comes out in his bathrobe and said, while brushing his teeth, "wois"

So, the biggest ball of Kryptonite left in the universe still can't stop superman from lifting a small moon into space, but weakens him enough to get Luther to beat him up.

"It's impossible, Lois could never have Superman's baby. Do you think her fallopian tubes could handle the sperm? I gurantee you he blows a load like a shotgun right through her back. What about her womb? Do you think it's strong enough to carry her child?"

"Sure, why not?"

"He's an alien, for christ sake. His Kyrptonian biological makeup is enhanced by Earth's yellow sun. If Lois gets a tan the kid could kick right through her stomach. Only someone like Wonder Woman has a strong enough uterus to carry his kid. The only way he could bang regular chicks is with a kryptonite condom, but that would kill him."
