Man of Steel coming June 14, 2013 - Discussion Thread

Just saw it.

It was better than I expected. Also more action that I thought. I'd say it had lower lows than the avengers, but higher highs. I'd give it the same score I gave it, 4/5.

Man of Steel was probably the best Superhero movie to date if I'm going tbh. It's fucking amazing and everyone should definitely take the time to see it.

I didn't watch it in 3d, cause I don't like 3d crap.

5/5 for me, because it did what it needed to do; introduce superman and fight a bad ass villain.

Faora was better.

She can make me kneel

Movie was a great... Sets up a sequel as well which has already been greenlit. Go see it for yourself. This is a coming of age film, so don't expect an Avengers type of movie where every super hero has already been established. There is enough action to satisfy and the story was good.


Edit: You definitely do not have to see it in 3D, total waste.

I'm seeing "it's not the best" around here, but LBSH name a good Superman movie that wasn't animated.

Man of Steel was the second time I sat in a theatre with my mouth hanging open out of amazement. The first time was when I saw The Dark Knight.

Without spoiling anything for those who haven't seen it, the movie is a fast paced origin with non-linear story telling through the first part that is set on a grand scale of action with complex underlying ideals.

Man of Steel is an amazing movie with a fresh take on Superman. I highly recommend it.

I thought it was good. The main problem i think the movie had was through structure and there wasn't too much character development. But I thought Henry Cavill as superman was great. The Action scenes were what I had been waiting for in a superman movie, after 5 movies of superman basically doing nothing.

Superman II has like a 99% metacritic score. Second to The Godfather I think. I didn't like the movie that much but obviously the critics thought otherwise

Cracked did a great article on why it's so difficult to do a good Superman movie: http://www.cracked.com/blog/3-reasons-its-so-hard-to-make-superman-interesting/

lol metacritic scores mean nothing to me. Adam Sandler's "Jack and Jill" could have a 100% score, but it's still a PoS lol

I know. I usually look up IMDB for movie scores and most times I agree with them. However people tend to overrate big releases like MOS The Hobbit or the Avengers. At least metacritic is way better than that piece of crap site rotten tomatoes

I do agree that metacritic and IMDB hold a lot more merit than rotten tomatoes (lol), its still all in the eyes of the individual whether it was good or not. I'm the only one in my friends / family that really loved Clerks lol

I think rotten tomatoes is best honestly. That said, I don't always agree with it. It puts more emphasis on critics rather than fanboys or haters.

Yeah but either way, general consensus won't always agree with how you feel.
If everybody everywhere says that "The Life of Nikki Minaj" is a great movie with 10/10 acting and special effects, will you honestly believe the same? lol

 

[G4S Killin Natzees]

Superman II

I said a GOOD one lol

 

[RWDY Nori]

I said a GOOD one lol

You really didn't like Superman II? If there was no general zod, the movie would be trash but.........I mean.........GENERAL ZOD! I remember telling my 3rd grade teacher "KNEEL BEFORE ANTHONY" and I was grounded for about a month

Secret shame... i really liked freddy got fingered. I later found out that everyone and their mother hated it.

Holy shit, a post of yours I actually agree w/. Yes, this movie was hilarious and people that took it too seriously were stupid. When his friend breaks his leg and the father throws the skateboard on it, I almost cried w/laughter

Zod was the saving grace for the film, if not for him it could have bombed pretty damn hard IMO lol

Dude I LOVE Freddy Got Fingered haha.

Well its a 2.7/10 on rotten tomatoes and 11% fresh.

Critics don't always align with my views, but I still think rotten tomatoes is a better tool to gauge stuff.
