pew pew fuck u lex luther i am superman

clark kent is superman

Movie was mediocre/bad IMO. Slow and boring first half, Micheal Bay loud noise explosions in the 2nd half, 1d characters and acting, flashbacks were dumb imo,

. I don't mind the corniest so much, but it could have been a lot smoother with it (Superman should always have corny shit, but play it off at normal). I also hate the amount of time given to absolutely irrelevant characters (who the fuck cares about the Daily Planet staff).

Reminds me of TF2 (transformers 2) a bit, though not as bad.

They're in talks for a Man of Steel 2. I imagine the Daily Planet characters were setting it up.

I liked it, the action scenes felt more like what 2 Kryptonians battling it out should be like. That being said they tried to pack too much action in and didn't do enough plot development in my opinion. I'm going to just assume that's because a major criticism of prior superman movies was that there wasn't enough superhero-ing in them so they just over did it a bit.

As far as superhero movies go I liked it more than Iron Man 3 and less than The Dark Knight or The Avengers; but I'm a bit biased because I'm a bit of a superman nerd.

Most of the action scenes were fine, and probably the highlight of the film. But some were just drawn out for kinda long and for destroying things for the sake of CGI. Plot was the biggest problem, like you said.

I haven't seen Iron Man 2 or 3 so I don't know how good those were. My superhero and cosplaying sister like this movie, but the sister I watched this with found it kinda bad too.

Also, I forgot, but

the only thing i gotta say about the movie is

I thought the pacing was a little awkward but I really enjoyed it, if you've read any of the comics you'd see that they pretty much grasped what previous depictions of Superman haven't. Reeves is still #1, but I thought Cavill did a great job. Hopefully they expand on the characters for the sequel.

"zach snyder's fantastic direction"

i am unadding you right now

I haven't seen the movie yet, but to me superman has always been kind of a boring superhero. He's just too stronk and op. nerf superman and he'll be more interesting imo.

That's why Kryptonite and other Krpytonians exist.

yeah i know that kryptonite and other kryptonians exist but it just seems like he could be a little bit interesting if there were more ways to kill him.

Superman is so boring and has been handled so poorly throughout the years that it has actually become impossible to make him interesting.

Well you could make him wear a kilt...

supes is a dick, what we really need is captain marvel

It's obvious that once you bring a movie into a forum discussion, it's only natural that everyone will take the less appealing parts of the movie and pick them apart, declaring it a bad movie. Most of the people I know have said the movie was "epic", "awesome", etc. Hopefully this movie does it's job and appeals to the general audience provides enough revenue for funding a justice league movie.

From what heard, it doesn't have the depth or intelligence like the Dark Knight, but not much things can these days. It was a movie a starring a superhero who's powers are so astronomical in comics that in every movie they have no choice but to nerf him, so its only natural that it's an explosion shitfest.

Yeah the pacing was a little weird imo. It seemed like there was more focus on action and little on the storyline.

I think people went into it expecting a movie like the Dark Knight, but what they got was a generic summer blockbuster, so they feel a bit disappointed.

I considered it to be a mediocre action film and a horrible super hero movie and portrayal of superman. To sum up my thoughts it didnt feel like i was watching superman but a guy who got the shit kicked out of him most of the time and pulled a win out of his ass at the last moment. As for the cinematography, there wasnt a single scene where some part of the action did not blow up some sort of building. And it just bugged me.

Did you watch the movie?

And going to call the movie horrible and mediocre is a tad bit much, I haven't even seen the movie, but I know that judgement is kinda overboard. It was obviously entertaining, but for the people who enter a movie theater expecting to see a bad movie will most likely only see a bad movie.

I wasn't going into the film expecting a bad movie. I was seriously hyped for it actually and by no means was i comparing it to something like The Dark Knight. I even went on the midnight premiere because i was excited to see a good portrayal of superman in film for once. And i was disappointed. This whole thread is a movie critique. This is my personal experience with the movie and people are going to have different opinions. If you cant accept that then i have news for you.

You're right, you're entitled to your opinion, my mistake.

By no means was it a perfect film, it had it's issues. But Snyder took a risk with this movie by doing his own portrayal and it worked out just fine. Not as good as The Dark Knight, but better than The Avengers/Iron Man 3 IMO.

I haven't seen the movie and it's unlikely that I will because of the state of action movies in strong CG years. The whole idea of an good action movie is having plot and character development with some adrenaline scenes mixed in. Without having much of the first, a person is unlikely to care about the characters, which leads them not to really care about the fight scenes since there is no emotional connection.

I have been watching more old and oldish SCI-FI shows on netflix and amazon, since I never watched any until I was about 25, so maybe I am getting jaded as far as plot goes. I just feel like a few million spent on 2-3 seasons on a good show would have so much more connection to an audience than two hours of a movie costing 50 million to make.

Oh yeah, this is to get rid of reality TV

MAN_OF_STEEL

I've always loved Superman, but his movie portrayals were always pretty weak despite the strong cast.
Man of Steel was a great blockbuster, It's received really bad ratings though, the metacritic and rotten tomatoes gave it ~50% which is just retarded. Hans Zimmerman, Christopher Nolan and Zach Snyder did a great job as expected, and Russell Crowe did an amazing job as Jor-El.

Was a good movie, not the best but it wasn't bad.

Superman, in general, is too squeaky clean of a character to make interesting on his own. The interesting things about Superman are his backstory, enemies and supporting characters and the movie handled these things well. Superman is there for the action...so expect action in the movie

One of my biggest character gripes though is that Jor-El was too perfect

honestly when it comes to movies based on comics, its pretty hard to beat the dark knight IMO i'm not really one to always compare for a specific genre such as this but i feel like the dark knight really set the bar in this case...so when you think about it some movies such as this one are pretty lackluster in comparison.

you don't get the point of his character then. superman struggles with being alone on a planet that he feels it's his duty to protect

and its not like superman fights against non-op enemies
look at doomsday
