'''Plinkett:''' ''(watching)'' Uhh.....hey, Ru'afo? Remember the beginning of the movie? The android has been nothing but ''[[SpannerInTheWorks the biggest problem to you ever]]''.

->This is another scene where Zod just doesn't come off as all that bright. Umm, here's a thought. If you knew that Tess had [[PlotCoupon the device that you REALLY REALLY wanted]], why, rather than spending all that time flirting with Lois, didn't you just find her and torture her for its location? Even Clark's [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique tortured Tess for information]] this season; is that just completely out of your comfort zone, or what?

->Poor Creator/{{DC|Comics}}. So many of the [[BloodierAndGorier scenes of death and dismemberment]] they’ve written into their books recently have just been [[{{Narm}} exercises in black comedy]]. For instance, take the death of Maxwell Lord, an event that was supposed to be a super big deal for ComicBook/WonderWoman’s future characterization and a bunch of events planned out for then-brewing ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis''. The scene as written is just fucking hilarious...Max mwa-ha-has about how she can’t keep him tied up forever ([[FridgeLogic which… actually she could]], or long enough to find another way to deal with him, but whatever), and then boasts that the only way she can ever free Superman would be to kill him. In a scene with comic timing so goddamn perfect it had to be intentional, Wonder Woman thinks this over, and then… '''[[NeckSnap *KRK*]]'''\\\
Fucking ''classic'', is what that is.

-> '''Anubis''': Silence! Now, after 5000 years of waiting, I'm going to challenge you to a children's card game! And then I'll destroy the world!\\
'''Yami''': Why would you want to do that?\\
'''Anubis''': What?\\
'''Yami''': What's the point in destroying the world? What do you gain from it?\\
'''Anubis''': ...I don't understand the question.\\
'''Yami''': Look, you must have some reason for wanting to destroy the world. Otherwise, this whole movie was just pointless bickering!\\
'''Anubis''': Of course I have a reason!\\
'''Yami''': Oh, goodie! Do you feel like sharing it with the class?\\
'''Anubis''': No. It's a secret.\\
'''Yami''': You're the most disappointing movie villain since [[StarWars General Grievous]].

->I’m starting to feel bad for {{Thanos}}, to be honest. He has a [[PsychoticSmirk nice smile]], a [[TinTyrant neat-looking gold suit]] and a comfortable-looking [[CoolChair space chair]], but other than that, I don’t think he has a lot going for him. He’s not that handsome, smile aside, and everyone seems to hate him. Even when he pays to have people be friends with him, like Ronan the Accuser, those people wind up betraying him, too. All Thanos wants is love. (And maybe he should stop spending time with people known as 'The Accuser,' who sound very judgmental.)

->I don't really think he thought this one all the way through. Here's another tip: When your archnemesis is named "The Beastmaster", don't challenge him to a fight '''''IN A FUCKIN' ZOO.'''''

->Sarah Smart as Jennifer did absolutely nothing for me. Half the time she said her lines as though [[DullSurprise she would rather be elsewhere]] and the other half she was playing a particularly stiff baddie cliché. Which I guess she was. Considering she has the pivotal role of gaining the sympathies of the audience for the Gangers, that aspect of the serial flops like a fish out of water... Isn't it a bit late to ask for Rory’s help after you have already turned into a massive tentacle headed monster and attacked him? What is all this donkey shit about [[MeaninglessMeaningfulWords the eyes being the last thing to go and making sure you are asking a question into them]] – who even talks like that? Even Troi from [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Star Trek TNG]] would shy away from dismal psychobabble like that!

->This is another scene where Zod just doesn't come off as all that bright. Umm, here's a thought. If you knew that Tess had [[PlotCoupon the device that you REALLY REALLY wanted]], why, rather than spending all that time flirting with Lois, didn't you just find her and torture her for its location? Even Clark's [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique tortured Tess for information]] this season; is that just completely out of your comfort zone, or what?... . So apparently, after Clark roasted Zod's towers Tess managed to salvage the one thing from the wreckage that Clark needs to activate the Book of Rao. Good girl, Tess. What's that, [[{{Series/Lassie}} Timmy's down a well again?]]

->''"You had it made! You could have been the biggest thief of all time, but you had to target your ancestors and blow your own cover. You exposed your operation because of your ego!"''

->Funny, how some movies will seduce you into their stories while others remain at arm's length. ''{{Film/Titanic}}'' was just as artificial and effects-driven as ''Hard Rain'', and yet I was spellbound. Maybe it was because the people on the doomed ship had no choice: The ''Titanic'' was sinking, and that was that.\\\
In ''Hard Rain'', there is a bad guy (Creator/MorganFreeman) who ''has'' a choice. He wants to steal some money, but all during the film I kept wondering why he didn't just give up and head for dry ground. How much of this ordeal was he foolish enough to put up with? Water, cold, rain, electrocutions, murders, shotguns, jet-ski attacks, drownings, betrayals, collisions, leaky boats, stupid and incompetent partners, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and your fingertips shrivel up]]. Is it worth it?
