    Jon Bernthal is a great actor.
    His presence was sorely missed in the Walking Dead when he was killed off.
    Shane was my favourite character

    I watched Man from U.N.C.L.E the other night without really knowing what it was about. Kinda James Bondy but better and more fun.

    Henry Cavill is such a bland actor in Superman. I don't think the script helps him at all but he's so boring, I'm pretty sure he has the same facial expression in every scene.

    1. Christoper Reeve
    2. Dean Cain
    3. Brandon Routh
    4. George Reeves
    5. Tom Welling
    6. Henry Cavill

    New Battyman vs Suppyman ... yes, that fabled, mythical tale of the camp crusader taking on the pint swigging alien demi-god ... it wasn't all bad, the problem was, it wasn't particularly good either. The second half of the film, when the fighting kicks off, is enjoyable enough for the spectacle, the effects, some of the interaction between the characters, but that can't save what is a serviceable, mediocre, confused film. The first half lacks narrative tension and taughtness as it struggles to define itself and what the focus of the story is going to be and fails to establish a particular tone. The epic nature of the confrontation deserves a lot more. This means that the decent bits that come later are left trying to prop up and patch over a flaccid, lacklustre one and a half acts of a film that at times promises to slip into a higher gear, take the scene where Superman rips the roof off the Batmobile and leaves Batman stating 'Tell me, do you bleed? You will' as Superman flies off, here we have some terrific interaction between the characters, there's a palpable sense of menace and of an absolutely tense, nerve-shredding **** storm to come ... that never happens, what we get instead is a grizzled Bat beatdown of a naive Supes that is effectively the air being let out of the film's tyres. So even the good section ends up being unsatisfying. It's at most a 6.5/10 for me if I try to look at it positively. That's generous.

    I loved it.
    Of course my teen crush on Teri Hatcher may have played a part.
    But I thought he did a good job of playing the role without copying Christopher Reeve, he made it his own.

    I did enjoy that as a 10 year old on Saturday or Sunday mornings. I imagine the acting is horrible if I were to watch it back now though.

    Oh yeah, I have no illusions that it would hold up if I re watched it as a 33 year old <laugh>
    Saying that, recently found my Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel DVD boxsets.....still ****ing awesome, but then Joss Whedon can do no wrong.
