    Default Man of Steel

    So this is out both sides of the Atlantic later this week. Put all your before/after viewing thoughts here!

    On the downside, I don't much like Zack Snyder. Plus the track record for Superman films so far is one and a half good films out of five. On the upside, Amy Adams and Michael Shannon are both brilliant and if nothing else I hope we get a great villain in Shannon's Zod.

    Oh, I'm seeing this Friday! Zack did his thing with 300, decent with Watchmen, and terrible with Sucker Punch, but Nolan is overseeing this so I know it's going to be da bomb!

    I don't think the actor playing Superman looks the role at all. Maybe he'll be able to act the role, I dunno, but not impressed with any of the trailers.

    Are you serious?? He looks smurfing perfect.

    But then again, I've always had a girl boner for Henry Cavill.

    He doesn't look like the traditional Superman, but he does look like the type of Superman that will make for a good movie. It's really hard to do Superman correctly, but I have hopes for this movie.

    Too cocky looking for one. And smug, Superman was never smug.

    Just saw it an hour agao and my good savior lord, was it brilliant. The movie achieved its goals. it humanized Clark in a way that all the other films weren't able to achieve. It was full of depth and also full of action. It made Clark relate able. He was just a man who grew up in the world where he felt he was an outcast and couldn't find his purpose in the world until the time came. The battles were oh so fierce. I mean trout was epic. General Zod's female henchman, she was a beast!

    I'm going to definitely see this again.

    9.5/10

    P.S. The ending , oh man the ending Man of Steel EndingThey made Superman kill Zod, but even though that's what he's against I can understand why he did it. He basically didn't have a choice. If he tried to throw Zod while he had him in the lock he would've risked hitting the civilians anyway. Killing Zod tore him up though and I expect it to haunt him in a future film. I also like how they nailed his secret identity. Not cheesy like in the comics or old movies.

    Don't threaten Superman's mom. There's a lot of surpressed rage there to let out

    Saw this last night at the midnight showing. Holy trout, finally a good Superman flick. Didn't even feel as long as it was. My only criticism was some of the fight scenes got a bit too ridiculous but honestly that's a really minor point at best. There's also loads of DC Comics easter eggs in there so keep your eyes open!

    I know right! She was an absolute beast.

    yeah it was pretty good

    frick he's ripped

    things i thought were weird

    (SPOILER)the baby maker shells were empty in the old ship? they never specified so i wasn't sure if supes was blowing up babies or not when he brought the ship down. and i think they made them ambiguously shaded too

    the 'i just think he's hot' at the end was unneccesary. a) we know, so do we, b) of course the only woman in the military is smiling because the guy's hot not because he brought down a drone as a statement



    i actually didn't think the fight scenes were outrageous because i mean

    it's superman and his villains

    anyway overall quite good

    great main theme
