A lovely, lovely day with two lovely gals and Thoughts on Man of Steel posted at 05:35
Today, I woke up early to go watch Man of Steel with Shrooms and Pebble.What can I say, the movie was so disappointing. I mean Henry Cavill's beautiful, beautiful face definitely made up for all the boring action-packed scenes (Oh, the irony). I was so excited to see it too! I think I'd been waiting for it to come out since last year (Shrooms too) only because Henry Cavill and his beautiful face and his booby-licious pecs (ahhhahahahah) are in it. Also, I thought the director of Man of Steel, Zack Snyder had directed Batman (which I just googled and he hadn't, silly me, Christopher Nolan is the producer and HE directed Batman, heheheh). *Spoiler alert* Anyhow, I liked the start of the movie where Superman's real parents are on the planet of Krypton. Russell Crowe was really cool in this movie. So coooooool. Brrrr. Hahaha. I laugh at my own jokes. And then, when Henry's face first came on the screen, it was just like rainbows and unicorns (without their horns) were dancing around in my stomach. I was so happy but enjoying the movie basically stopped there. I quite liked the casting of the movie really. NOT just because of Henry Cavill although that probably played a part. Amy Adams (who Pebble thought was Isla Fisher) as Lois Lane was good, I thought. She had charisma and wasn't just a pretty face. Russell Crowe had that sort of noble, grand guardian sort of look to him. Kevin Costner looked like a good ole dad. I could go on. The movie itself though. Oh good gosh! No good emotional scenes. Just lots of fighting. Pure fighting with explosion and stuff but not much else. Dialogue was standard, as Shrooms nicely put it. There really wasn't much talking after General Zod came down to Earth. What I like a lot in superhero films is that element of "Wow, that's a superhero!" as in I like it when the public (ie normal humans) make comments about the superhero. Man of Steel lacked that which I suppose is quite a small thing. Also, the chemistry between Superman and Lois Lane was practically non-existent. It was basically like "hey, dang it, he's hawt, he saved me with his super strength, I'm going to track him down 'cos Imma reporter" and then superman tells his mum "oh yeah, she seems cool, she's a friend" and then they look each other in the eyes in a few scenes, and then fighting and stuff, and then they kiss and blablabla...Well, Pebble's excuse was, maybe they just didn't need much dialogue because he's just got those eyes that speak to you which I suppose is true but come on, I didn't watch this movie just to see two people look at each other (although Henry's blue eyes ARE so beautiful, refer to picture below).  Another thing which is really to do with this movie especially but just all superhero movies. I love how in some scenes everything gets destroyed, eg New York city...all these other place and then in the sequel everyone just acts as if everything okay again. I mean okay, very well, you saved the Earth, you saved humanity but the REPAIRS!!! And all that paperwork in those buildings that got destroyed. Yes, I know, so many people died and I'm worried about paperwork? But that's not all, the global economy would just be in tatters after all that destruction. Hmmm, alien invasion really does take a toll on us. Aside from my movie rant, Shrooms, Pebble and I spent such a nice day in the city today. I hung out with them the whole day and it felt like time passed so quickly. Probably because I haven't seen them all these holidays. After the movie, we ate at Sushi Hotaru. Mmmm, salmon...Oh wait no! Before that we went to Timezone (the arcade)and played this Escape the Horror House or something game where we go into one of those portable mini-rooms where there's a screen and two guns and we shoot monsters in 3D. It wasn't as scary as my sister told me it was but it was very stress relieving. Screaming and whatnot. After THAT was when we ate lunch. Then Pebble had to go do a poo, I think, because she took a long time in the toilet while Shrooms and I contemplated if everyone would turn their heads if Henry Cavill (assuming he wasn't famous) walked down the street or how everyone in school would react to Henry Cavill as our teacher. Well, who would employ him for an all-girls school? He's too damn good-looking. I really think I'm turning this blog into a Henry Cavill fanpage. After that, we went to Noggi and had frozen yoghurt and then walked around the QVB a while. Now I have to get back to work =(, Tinker Also, I have a lot to say about love and other stuff but I don't feel like talking about it now so maybe next time. |
