Gah, I love this. I got choked up just reading it. It's nice to see someone gets it as much as I felt like I did.

And as for that scene that you whited out...I was absolutely beside myself during that. (I'm dramatic, I know) but I was literally in tears and couldn't watch. It was like seeing a kitten being tortured...by that I mean someone who is innocent and harms no one being destroyed like that, it just filled me with great despair. Yeah, it's only a movie, but this is my childhood hero, and Routh managed to imbue him with more...vulnerability than we've ever seen previously and it made me just love him and not want anything bad to happen to him.

I guess I really didn't realize how much I loved this character until coming back and seeing this film. They touched on so many emotions that it's kind of turned Superman into an entire new thing for me. And I'm thrilled with it, seriously. I can't wait for the next one. I'm already counting the days.
