Seeing Christopher Reeve as Clark Kent reminds me how good he was and how I miss him.
I love Cavill but sorry he failed his acting of CK. With or without the costume he plays as Superman.
Still better than Brandon Routhe. Sorry Brandon, I’m sure you’re a nice guy, but your Superman sucked
Nah, Brandon Routhe was fine, it’s just his Superman is written incredibly passive, and he was more or less being told "You’re Christopher Reeves Superman so…do that. We’re not going to give you any material that comes close to what Chris got to work with, but, ya know, still do it. "
It’s just such a bizarrely written movie in the first place, I have trouble blaming anyone in it for their performances. Well… except for that one guy we don’t talk about anymore.
I don’t see the issue with him playing both characters the same. That’s as valid an interpretation as any, and much more in line with modern Superman.
The idea of Clark as a bumbling mild-mannered reporter as part of his disguise is very dated.
That’s a really good point. I didn’t notice until you said it, but yeah, he plays Kent and Superman exactly the same.
but yeah, he plays Kent and Superman exactly the same.
Well it was a more serious movie, for a more serious time, than the original Superman movie, so to expect that kind of goofy Clark Kent type of acting wouldn’t be realistic.
Yeah goofy Clark Kent has not been a thing for a while in Superman media, anyone expecting that in a modern movie is showing their age a bit.
This scene always comes to mind when I think of Reeve’s performance: https://youtube.com/watch?v=tNUu6Lf9mVU
I love Cavill but sorry he failed his acting of CK.
How did he fail? Honestly asking.
Best superman line I’ve seen is from the CW version.
“Hey! Nice suit!”
“Thanks, my mom made it for me!”
Superman and Lois is so underrated. The stigma around the CW DC shows is well earned, but it really doesn’t deserve to be grouped in with them. In fact it made a point of distancing itself from them by explicitly stating it’s not part of the Arrowverse.
There’s a lot going on in that show really doesn’t get the credit it deserves. Particularly watching Clark Kent be a father is aces.
