Upgrade or Downgrade?
Depends, who's the new guy?

It’s based on a graphic novel, which is, in turn, based on a six-page comic story. It’s less “one room over many centuries” and more “one particular spot over the entire history of the planet.” And, frankly, saying it takes place over many centuries is actually under-selling how expansive the time span of the film is. In the original version, the timeline actually starts at 500,957,406,073 BC, and ends sometime around 2033. In the graphic novel, which I own, the timeline is a bit more reasonable , with the date farthest back being 3,000,500,000 BCE and the furthest in the future being 2314 CE. So, if you saw the dinosaurs in the trailer and got confused, that’s literally why. The original story can be seen (faithfully replicated on what is admittedly a budget of fuck-all) here:

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Actors I’d like to see as Superman:
-Elijah Wood -Steve Buscemi -Kathy Bates -Danny DeVito -John Goodman Any one of those might re-ignite my interest. Boru Edit: and Samuel L. Jackson, only because I’d love to hear Superman telling me that he ‘fights for truth, justice, and the American way, motherfucker.’

First look at Gladis 2

I'd argue that the first was a hit because of the screenplay and standout performances from the actors -- such as Crowe, Phoenix, and Reed. Connie Nielsen as Lucilla was also impressive.
