The Cavalry turning up is a common one. But it does have the significant advantage of actually being possible and not a load of old bollocks. It's only a bugbear of mine when we get to actually talking about it, though. I don't fill my every waking moment with it. There are many more important things for me to be a moaning old bastard about. You lucky people......
The film's ending harks back to what Superman's father tells him at the beginning of the film - that whatever he does, he mustn't alter human history. If anyone watching it has remembered his words [and even if they haven't] there's a sense of what is going to happen that will bring Superman to the brink of weighing up disobeying his father or resurrecting his love. Which path will he choose to follow? Saving Lois at the cost of disobeying and maybe disrespecting his father's memory, or obeying his father at the cost of losing his love? How he will be seen in the future, hangs in that balance. The choice he makes sees him pick his adopted human persona over his 'alien' roots. That's fairly significant. It's also a recurring theme in these alien meets human, develops relationship, will he stay or go back to 'his kind' - type films.
saint - I'm just offering an alternative read on the ending. You expressed specifically why it was a lame ending - I tried to show how it could have been looked at differently. I did an MA in Humanities which, strange as it sounds, mostly involved analysing American literature [a couple of other things thrown in] - the only thing is now I find it really difficult reading a novel for pleasure
I'm gonna go with the knock offs guy, reckon he's got more agility and will dance around to tire RHC out. In the actual fight I'm going with Froch to beat the living **** out of Groves, stupid Beats wearing poser.
Probably will be close fella yeah. Watching it here after this episodes of Vikings finishes. Got a nice bottle of Leffe blond and big bottle of Amigos chillin int freezer fer it.
Christ it's dead in ere tonight. Fight's about to get under way... boxers just being introduced. Hope Froch smashes Groves the twat.
**** all in the fight but that's one of the sweetest knockout punches I've seen. Fair play to both after the fight too.
