Superman: The Movie 4K UHD (1978) - Page 98 - Blu-ray Forum

If I had to rank them I might put Man of Steel first as well, but they're so different I dislike ranking them. It's like when people compare Alien and Aliens, which are pretty much two completely genres. Man of Steel is this cool gritty sci-fi movie and Superman is this lovely inspirational silver age comic brought to life.

This. I find STM unique in how it transitions genres within the same film. Almost like three different movies in one. It goes from sci-fi to rural coming-of-age story to a fairy tale-ish, fish-out-of-water version of the 1970s as 1950s nostalgic post WWII Americana. A sort of counter argument to the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal. Whereas MOS kind of leans on Nolan's non-linear structure while embracing chaotic, dark toned 9/11 imagery (especially in the climax). I like them both fairly equally, but Snyder's Superman has a certain "Team America" all out destruction tone deafness that modern CGI allows him to embellish in. But it definitely rises above the wire fighting of Superman II; while cheesy is still fun to watch.

Huh? Maybe I'm out of the loop. What is dat Genesis and why does it make the film look stunning?

Camera?

ROSS.T.G. · 12-19-2018, 03:18 PM

Yes, Genesis was a 1080p Camera and also a really good gaming console.

Was never a big fan of "hold right and press same button over and over" games. That goes for Sonic as well.

ROSS.T.G. · 12-19-2018, 06:02 PM

Sonic was epic Velvet. My all time fav was Road Rash though. Also really liked Golden Axe and Streets of Rage.

Matt89 · 12-19-2018, 06:14 PM

Omg Sega Genesis was the sh*t lol. I still have mine with all my games. Was home for Christmas last year and found it in my mom’s basement so I took it back home with me. Sonic 2 was one of the best RPG games they put out.

Gotta love Streets of Rage though.

Love my Mega Drive. Haven't dusted it off in a while. Sonic 2 was the shiznit. Also kept a bunch of Master System games which I play on the MD with a converter. Added a 50/60Hz switch too, y'all have no idea how ****ing annoying it was to have PAL games that ran slower and were letterboxed vs their NTSC equivalents.

Doctorossi · 12-19-2018, 08:46 PM

I was in Japan when the first Sonic was released and there were a lot of blown minds in Akihabara.
