    Man of Steel came out came out 10 years ago and WB silently just admitted they are rebooting their whole DCEU universe with my guess Flash Point. Ouch.

    Same rection, Abrams producing usually means you get the best of his filmmaking abilities without his weaknesses as a storyteller. Coates is just a phenomena writer, and there’s no way this doesn’t have a timely, political, and social justice bend suited to Superman as a character.

    It's only because of Snyder that Abrams' hacky approach to filmmaking would be an improvement.

    I have no idea what WB sees in JJ Abrams. He’s an absolute hack.

    He's still a pretty good producer, and a lot of his stuff is really great... in the beginning. He's terrible at endings, and he's terrible at having a plan.

    What did WB see in Zack Snyder? What does anyone see in Alex Kurtzman? It's just a small group of people in Hollywood, mostly white men, who know each other and get/give jobs based on that. It's not based on merit at all.

    totally forgot that now, with abrams attached to dc, the people who spend every waking moment bitching about the sequel trilogy will join the conversation. perhaps they'll unite with the snyder cult, and break off to form the patriot party.

    marvel fans have it so easy.

    I seem to recall it being pretty terrible compared to the rest of the film -- but also, in that he's just like "what if it were The Goonies and E.T. mixed, but like Zack Snyder dark?"

    It's understandable if JJ Abrams style and method of filmmaking isn't to everyones liking.

    I won't be there to defend his work, but I also enjoy several of his pictures in a that was an entertaining and well crafted movie experience kind of way.

    We had fun at the theater watching Super 8 and it held up when I rewatched it at home. Same for his ST and SW pictures. They're just sort of there. For entertainment purposes, but nothing enlightening.

    See, I loved the show so much -- but given what happened with Alias and Felicity (and Alias in particular had one of the strongest freshman seasons ever in the early 2000s) -- I'm not sure I would have wanted to see it come crashing down.

    But see I loved The Force Awakens, but I think The Rise of Skywalker is as close to the nadir of Star Wars (Attack of the Clones) as TFA is to the top.

    TROS has always been a fun one to watch as it attempts to salvage that overall story. "Faster and more intense" definitely applies, so he did heed GL's direction at least.

    Coates is terrific. Abrams is only producing. Snyder's Destructo-man is dead and buried. Great news all around.

    We just might see the first genuinely good Superman movie since 1980.

    You know, as much as it’s become hip to complain about Marvel churn as of late, I think the real cancer killing cinema might actually be Joseph Campbell.
