Re: Official Man Of Steel reviews! Love it or Hate it! Discuss it here! MERGED! SPOI

Most of movie wasn't even him saving people from falling. It was a lot of talk and boredom

Who in the hell thought it was cool to start the movie with an hour and 45 minutes of talk?

I remember a fight on Krypton if im not mistaken.

I saw that and almost left the theatre...your mind grabs symbols subconsciously that you may never grasp consciously . Hollywood wants everyone to be gay SMH

I just wasn't gonna bring it up on BGOL but since you did all of you that want to watch MOS again check that scene
So your mind reaches for dicks subconsciously? Lmao
 
Re: Official Man Of Steel reviews! Love it or Hate it! Discuss it here! MERGED! SPOI

Plot holes was one of the reasons, not the ONLY reason. Man of Steel was not a fun movie.

Superman/Superman II both were a product of their time. I felt like Man of Steel was over produced. The action in t was too boated, almost as if to overtop the action/sci-fi/comic book movies that recently came out.

Yeah, they threw buses at each other and rammed each other through buildings in Superman II, but they also didn't repeadedly do so to the point where it got boring.The destruction in MoS got boring. Less is more.

This fist film in a new series should hve focused on Superman coming to terms with his idenity. What we saw in MOS instead gave us something that should have been seen in a JLA film with Darkseid invading earth. How are they going to top this? The filmmakers blew their load on the first film.

Co Sign all of this. These over excited ma' fuckers, talking about greatest superhero movie of all time and shit. Niggas probably said the same thing the weekend Daredevil came out.

Man, I try to tell em.
People who grew up watching superman and superman II will watch them. I don't know anyone who's under 21 who've seen either movie.

Also they're classic because of Reeve. His story really keeps the memory of that movie alive. That and they're the first Superman movies on the big screen

Before running in here late co-signing, you should probably read where all those arguments have already been destroyed in several posts.

Hollywood must prey on weak minds... I didn't see that.
 
Re: Official Man Of Steel reviews! Love it or Hate it! Discuss it here! MERGED! SPOI

Good start, good movie, can't wait for the bluray. I think it needs a great sequel to get appreciated more like what "The Dark Knight" did for "Batman Begins"...
 
Re: Official Man Of Steel reviews! Love it or Hate it! Discuss it here! MERGED! SPOI

No Kryptonite and Kha-El uses deadly force? LEX LUTHOR won't make it 15 minutes in MOS 2
The only reason Lex was able to torment Superman was because he was able to manipulate his morality...this Superman easily justifies killing. He will make a rational decision to eliminate Lex because he will kill thousands and find out who his loved ones are.

Bruce/Batman won't be able to work with this Superman...he already dislikes the God aspect of Superman but him being Judge Dredd in a cape will eliminate any cohesion
You're not thinking. What happens if another situation arises and Superman has "no other" choice?

He did it once to save a family whats to say he wouldn't do it again to save another one?

It's a pandora's box that WB has opened up..
:confused:
:lol::lol:
C'mon y'all he bodies one out of control Kryptonian that was on his level and now you think he's going to turn into the Punisher?:lol:

Superman had NO CHOICE at that moment. Zod was in full "I don't give a fuck mode" at the time. He told Superman that he would kill everyone on the planet (something Kal-El knew he was serious about when he tried to use the World Engine to Terraform the Earth). Zod was created from birth to be a soldier and protector of Krypton. With Krypton destroyed, the World Engine destroyed, his ship and soldiers sucked back into a black hole, and Kal-El not willing to give up the Codex in him, all he had left to do was take as many people out as he could. Zod had the heat vision on full blast turning his head at that family. Superman couldn't stop him, and at that point did he realize what he had to do.

I don't think he is going to kill every villain in every film. Luthor would not be killed. He was still raised by his father to show control. Unless Luthor has his finger on a button to detonate a Nuke he won't kill him.

When backed into a corner Superman has chosen to kill before

Here he was trying to protect the city from being completely frozen by his friend Heather who was possessed by an alien entity. He was willing to kill her

actually one movie alone can top it. Aqua man. just imagine an undersea world that makes avatar and asgard look like shit. the only thing i can see as far as hate would be black manta being black and aquaman being white. they will probably make them rivals or brothers. But yes an aquaman movie could top mos easily.
 
Re: Official Man Of Steel reviews! Love it or Hate it! Discuss it here! MERGED! SPOI

:lol:

Snyder did excellent work.

only thing I was tripping off of was near the end when they came back and crashed to earth.. Lois was looking at that shit from afar.

and then she arrived inside the building where Kal had him in the headlock. I just asked how the fuck she get over there that fast?


OTHER THAN THAT.

A great movie. The casting was perfect.
This superman can stay. It made sense.

Overall a great great movie crabby folks will try to nitpick it and toss shit out there but let's just be real here. A good movie is a good movie and this was one.
 
Re: Official Man Of Steel reviews thread! Love it or Hate it! Discuss it here! MERGE

But my question is, "White people. Why the fuck you shooting bullets at somebody who just got hit with a car. A truck a building?"

.

the arrogance was hilarious. I kept laughing throughout.

They're shooting ole girl and she looking at them crazy...

Stabler shoots her in the head..all kill shots and she smiles, he pulls out a knife like let's do it.

Kal come through and say it ain't safe out here go inside.
People go inside and then LOCK THE DOOR

like the motherfucker that's 8 feet fall in an alien suit gone jiggle the knob and just yell out a hell scream like "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IT'S LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCKED"

just so funny.

The action was the shit, I like the hand to hand combat more than the raiden dive stuff. hand to hand the power of the punches.. excellent. Uppercut Kal to the top of the skyscraper :lol:
 
Re: Official Man Of Steel reviews thread! Love it or Hate it! Discuss it here! MERGE

Seven years after Director Bryan Singer's well meaning tribute to the Richard Donner/Christopher Reeve era of Superman films
but ultimately lackluster Superman Returns,the last son of Krypton returns in Man of Steel.
Director Zack Snyder, producer Christopher Nolan, and writer David S. Goyer,breathes new life into the 75 year old story.
MOS is not only an entertaining film but a spectacular experience.
Snyder immerses the audience into Krypton like no other previous Superman film has.The power struggle,the technology,the creatures
the ships,all brought out in vivid SFX.

I wasnt blown away by any of the actor's performances in particular,but they all do solid work.Henry Cavill as Clark Kent / Kal-El
has the right look,the right amount of corniness,and bravado to pull off the title roll.
Equally excellent are the actors who portray Superman's biological Kryptonian parents :Russell Crowe as Jor-El and Ayelet Zurer
as Lara Lor-Van and his adoptive parents on Earth Kevin Costner and Diane Lane as Jonathan and Martha Kent,their love and
protectiveness of their son shines through in their performances.
Amy Adams as Lois Lane has great chemistry with Cavill,and displays the right amount of curiousity and persistant nature as
the investigative reporter. Michael Shannon as General Zod is effectively intense,and the only match for his intense portrayal is
Antje Traue as the sinister Faora who is a revelation to me.
The rest of the cast Laurence Fishburne as Perry White ,Harry Lennix as Lieutenant General Swanwick,and Christopher Meloni as
Colonel Hardy make the most of their brief time on screen.
The action in MOS is so intense and relentless,i was happy for a brief family or romantic moment .The score by Hans Zimmer is soul stirring and uplifting.

Some of the characters are underdeveloped,and some quick touches could have been added to at least establish who they are.There are a couple of plot holes
/errors.MOS could have also used more humor.

MOS is a very good first step towards a new series of Superman films,and hopefully and ultimately a Justice League film

Scale of 1-10 an 8½
 
Re: Official Man Of Steel reviews! Love it or Hate it! Discuss it here! MERGED! SPOI

I LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!

BEST Comic Book Film since "SPIDER-MAN 2".

Great score.
Lots of great moments by some veteran character actors.
Henry Caville was EXCELLENT!!!
Amy Adams wasn't an annoying Lois Lane.
Michael Shannon actually didn't look foolish in that Kryptonian getup.
Dude was bulked up, dedicated and menacing.
Antje Traue = BAD BITCH!!!

And that Jor-El lecture to Clark/Kal on the history of Krypton in that liquid metal art-deco style was FUCKING AMAZING!!! Hands down one of the greatest SFX shots ever. That shit looked like Tony Harris and JH Williams III drew it with metal. I still can't get over that scene.

Saw it in IMAX 3D.
And will see it again.
 
Re: Official Man Of Steel reviews! Love it or Hate it! Discuss it here! MERGED! SPOI

Fam,

Whats the verdict on the 3D. SOme have said it's not worth it because theirs only a few 3D scenes, whereas other have said 3D all the way. What exactly is it? Because I will be seeing it again

did you see how the kal-el's baby ship was the one from the original superman movie

I didn't say that in my post.
But I thought so anyway.

"MAN OF STEEL" had better drama and tension.
Especially in the non-action scenes.
And that's a feat in itself for Zack Snyder.
Who's not know for handling actors very well.

I liked "THE AVENGERS". But it was more about bringing comic book characters together on the big screen. Nothing else really.
 
Re: Official Man Of Steel reviews! Love it or Hate it! Discuss it here! MERGED! SPOI

yaBoiiiii!!:yes::D:lol:
man that movie was epic!.. i don't see how people can hate a superman movie like this one. I mean what kind of movie did they think they were going to see. Most people that hate it had already made up in their mind that it was going to suck...:smh: those kind of people shouldn't even waste their time with movies like these, they should stick to chick flicks

From what Ive been able to gather their reasoning fell into the following category

1) They wanted it to be more humorous than serious (like Avengers)
2) They wanted it to be almost exactly like the Donner versions
3) They didn't want Superman to get his hands dirty. Example: killing someone(even if it was Zod)
4) They wanted Clark to be more of a Clown like he was in Donner Superman chasing Lois Lane for the majority of the movie. Running into tables, tripping over gum etc
5) They wanted Clarks parents to encourage him to be more bold about what he can do as opposed to hiding it.
6) They wanted Superman to save the day AND Save everyone at the same time. No collateral damage or at the very least only like 2 people.
7) They wanted Linear Story telling
8) They wanted him to know to go North and not look like a wanderer trying to find himself
9) They wanted him to save Pa Kent regardless of his desire not too
10) They wanted him to change in a Taxi Cab
11) Oh, during the fight throw a plastic "S" from his chest
12) FInally, they wanted him to spin the world backwards to undo all that property damage.

If you don't believe me just read El Pirate... post. He was really looking forward to seeing Superman give up his Powers for LOVE!

I must have missed that one.
It was such a HOLY SHIT!!!/OMG!!! moment.

Gotta disagree with you on this one. MOS was epic but I still think Avengers is the top dog. Either way its a win for the moviegoer.
