Title: Re: TDMMC Comic Book Movie Madness, Round of 32: METROPOLIS Group Post by: Spider-Dan on April 13, 2020, 12:50:00 am I went with Superman and Superman II, largely for their impact on the genre.
Title: Re: TDMMC Comic Book Movie Madness, Round of 32: METROPOLIS Group Post by: Tenshot13 on April 13, 2020, 07:41:17 am I went with The Crow and The Mask. Funny enough they came out the same year, I remember watching both a lot when I was younger.
Title: Re: TDMMC Comic Book Movie Madness, Round of 32: METROPOLIS Group Post by: Dave Gray on April 13, 2020, 09:53:41 am I don't love the Superman movies. They're groundbreaking, but I've always found them corny. I picked Superman II, because I remember it being less silly and the 3 Kryptonians were pretty cool.
I also went with the Mask. That was a fun movie, as a remember. Also, Cameron Diaz, I remember being crazy hot in that film.

Title: Re: TDMMC Comic Book Movie Madness, Round of 32: METROPOLIS Group Post by: Dave Gray on April 13, 2020, 08:17:55 pm The Mask was kinda intentionally corny and seemed to embrace that tone. Superman was earnest. I also hate that version of Lex Luthor and it's always been something I'd like done a different way. For a long time, I thought I just didn't like Superman the character but I've since come to enjoy him.
