I really enjoyed this take on it. FX were on point! Superman was casted well, as were the others, but still feel Lois was meh. But whatever. It's still a fun flick.
- only thing I didn't like was the meta/chain alien monster thing could have done without itRamanisky2
- I'm not sure I know what you meandopepope
- it's like a metal snake or something towards the end of the movie. right before they destroy the planet maker shipRamanisky2

Saw it the other day. The fights were pointless, since all that punching and tossing around didn't actually hurt any of them.

Total fail, I walked out before it ended:
Music: Life insurance ad.
Characters: Underdeveloped, arc inexistent, you don't really care about them.
Chemistry between Superman(Clark doen't really exist) end Lois Lane (superweek): zero
Villain: Week.
National Guard propaganda: SEVERESecond half it's a mix between Independence Day and Falling Skies. Again they made a film about a character they're ashamed of and they try not to even mention the word superman or try to use the features of the comic suppressing them.
No.

Very good. The Krypton origin and the "S" symbol origin was thoughtful as well.. Couldnt really ask for more, patiently awaiting the sequel. Easter eggs were great too! --------> Spoiler:::

although his reviews are at times more than a little suspect, 'man of steel' is getting rave reviews on AICN

This movie will set the record for the most product placement buys in a single film.

^ Zod looks ridiculous? It's fucking Michael Shannon!! The guy is amazing. I'm more than intrigued to see what he's done considering every character he's played before this have been mentally or emotionally fucked up in some way.
- I am forced to agree with youmonospaced
- He must have had a bad childhood or something to be that kind of actor.fredddddd

I don;t think Superman is a character we, as an audience, can identify with. Most superhero movies try to bring the hero into reality a bit by making them flawed and more human. All that's been done with Superman is have him pining for Lois and have green rocks weaken him. I don't think an alienation story of him being 'different' work either because you have little sympathy for a virtual God.
If Bryan Singer failed so miserably, I don' think Snyder is going to pull it off.
- disagree, I think people have been relating to him since the first day he was drawnmonospaced
- classic hero storymonospaced
- his weaknesses, his flaws, his nerdiness balanced with bravery, his love for a woman he can't be withmonospaced
- The way people/kids relate to comic books today is vastly different.ETM
- It's how humans have been relating, actually. Not just about children and generations. The hero story goes back to ancient timesmonospaced
- The glossy, perfect 1-dimensional hero has been replaced with brooding, disturbed, vulnerable people.ETM
- It's hard to take superman too far down that road in a convincing fashion, IMO only of course.ETM
- the classic hero has been multi-dimensional since before Greek Mythologymonospaced
- Not in comic books. Have you read Golden and Silver age books? Or watched the old serials?ETM
- Singer tried to humanize him more and it failed. If it's all action, then it feels hollow.ETM
- Batman being one of the few exceptions since inception in the 40s.ETM
- I never implied all action. People relate to Superman because most of the time he's a regular guy.monospaced
- Not only regular, but sub-par. He's a geek, his boss walks all over him and girls don't even look his way.monospaced
- The fact that you call Kent a geek lends me to think your only reference is the original movies,ETM
- Kent is almost a role, more as to even an alter ego. And is oft described as .mild mannered..ETM
- And in current comics Kent is barely that anymore. Your comment has removed all credibility from your argument.ETM
- haha, you win on comic nerdiness, congratulationsmonospaced
- e-pill owns that badge. I don't know who has more knowledge about comics around here, than him.ETM
