Gonna bring this thread back because I like to comment on films I've watched.

This was the first film I tried to watch in full on HD-DVD. Unfortunately it was hit with laser rot and stopped playing halfway through, at the layer change. So I watched the rest on Blu-Ray.
I never got why this film was so hated. I loved it back when I watched it in the cinemas and I still enjoy the film today, even if the ending felt a little anti-climatic, and well, Kevin Spacey is still in it.

The film had some really funny moments, luckily most at Lex Luthor's (Kevin Spacey's) expense, and it has some very iconic scenes and shots I still see people reference to this day.

I decided to watch the prequels trilogy and give them another shot after "star wars day".

I got a letterboxed VHS release of this, which I later found out has the original theatrical cut with Yoda being a puppet. I didn't even know he was a puppet at any point in Episode 1's existence.

This film was okay. It's a bit of a guilty pleasure for me because this was the first Star Wars films to release after I was born and I remember all of the hype behind it. Never watched it back in the day, though.
So to me, despite all of it's flaws it's a bit of a time capsule for me.

Saw the new Superman movie today.
Was not impressed.

SPOILER-FREE PART
The film is very bland and two-dimensional. There are plenty of action scenes and drama scenes, but the film doesn't give due time to establish characters proper so those action and drama scenes don't hold whatever weight was intended.






SPOILERS START HERE
The background characters were fine enough, and so was Superman, albeit they weakened him to an almost ridiculous extent and made him pretty immature and whiny.

I did not like Lex Luthor, though. His character had a good start, being ruthless and jaded, but as the film progressed he became more control freaky and weird. The film also couldn't decide whether it wanted to be more of a light-hearted bronze-age feel or a grittier silver-age one and it flip flops a few times.

Example: At no point in the film are any characters badly injured or in any real danger, which is more bronze-age-like, but then there are scenes where Superman is wounded in fairly graphic fashion, and even one where Luthor executes a man who earlier in the film had helped Superman right in front of him.

This film has the bones of a good film, but very little of the volume. Not enough time and polish was given to scenes where it would have mattered most to simply let the moment sit and sink in with the viewer. Instead of any well fleshed-out struggles and progression, convenience after predictable convenience keep the plot moving toward a particularly unimpressive climax.

For a runtime of almost 2 hours, the 2025 addition of Superman does little to nothing to fully engage an audience.

...Yup.

If you aren't aware of this film, it's infamous for having 0% on Rotten Tomatos.

A geek club I frequent had this film on it's DVD shelf. However, it was hit with laser rot, and I wasn't able to watch past chapter 2. So I bought it on VHS on eBay. If I'm gonna experience the worst rated film on Rotten Tomatoes, I might as well go all out and watch it in Pan & Scan!

It is bad, but is it 0% bad? ... not really? There are positive things I can say about the film.
The acting is decent all things considered, the action sequences are fun and the soundtrack is pretty cool!

However, the plot is all over the place and the characters lack any personality or defining traits. There's a twist at the end, but instead of it being revealed or even hinted at throughout, Ecks just explains it, with nothing to back up what he says.

More than anything else, the film is just mid, and in some ways, that's even worse than it being terrible.
