The Reeve Superman movies were rated PG. In the United States that means you’re allowed one F word in the movie. Where would you put the F word? I would have had it in Superman 4. When he’s looking at Manhattan “The citys beautiful. The whole world is fuucking beautiful.”

When he’s looking at Manhattan “The citys beautiful. The whole world is fuucking beautiful.” If it were possible, I still wouldn't have any of the main characters say it- it distracts. I find it EXTREMELY distracting on the superhero cartoons by WB (except for Harley Quinn, which is entire farce)--- and on "Titans". Similarly, as funny as the moment might have been- I HATED when Data swore on "Generations"- it punched a hole in the believability of the universe for me, for the sake of a quick laugh. (I find it also distracts when swearing on the newer Trek tv shows)- feels more like pandering.) If it was part of the world to begin with- like, say, Robocop- then people should be swearing all the time. For a superhero universe- it needs to be sparing and I will admit SOMETIMES it works and doesn't pop the bubble. Wolverine swearing in the X-men series somehow feels right. The other characters? Not so much. |

If you were FORCED to put an F bomb into each Superman movie. Where would you put it? For me if would make perfect sense for Superman to say fuuck while looking at Lower Manhattan. He’s been on the superhero job for some time at that point and he’s admiring the city he’s saved many times. He’s reflecting and enjoying the fruits of his labor and rightly says this city is fuucking beautiful.

Assuming I'm FORCED to- In STM- when Supes accidentally drops her during the flying ballet, I guess Lois could have let the F bomb drop... before she starts 'singing' to Supes. In SII- when Lex realizes that the villains are serious about going to kill him at the DP (momentarily) In SIII- I guess.... when Loreli is about to seduce 'dark Superman'? Or a bartender could say the F bomb when Supes seems out of control? In SIV- when Lacy is dropped into outer space (inexplicably)... |

I agree, certain movies are better off without F bombs. They take you out of it.
Examples are M in Skyfall and in No Time to Die. Both unnecessary and ruined the tone

I remember when ‘South Park’ was a big thing on Comedy Central without f bombs- then when the ‘r’ rated movie came out with f bombs- it oddly wasn’t that much funnier.
I find it most out of place and annoying with dc animated cartoons- if it were Heavy Metal that would be one thing, but…

I've always thought the flying effects as he turns around the mountain were fantastic. The way his body was tilted looked so real. And then when he straightens up with the horrified expression on his face also looks brilliant. |

Worshipped the movie but always felt the back projection plates in soft focus undid the reality of the shots but with everything else as an A+ it didn't matter.... |
