"Man of Steel" (2013)

[lovemachine]

This thread is lame. I liked the movie, it wasn't the best movie by any means, but I liked it.

And I wish that Dish would have more free movie channel weekends. MY DVR almost burned up!

I have to agree it didn't really blow my skirt up. 2 or a generous 2 1/2 out of 5 stars.

MUCH better than Stuperman Returns. Kevin Spacey was the best part of that show.

I am curious about the next installment with [STRIKE]Batman[/STRIKE]

Wait. You wear a skirt? I knew it!

Only to movie premiers.

Now that's like saying Barack Obama is better than any other president. Lots of people might agree with you, but it's just not true.

I thought it sucked. It was one of the few movies that I contemplated just leaving in the middle of so I didn't have to waste anymore time watching pure crap.

The fact that anyone could have actually liked it completely boggles my mind.

I recorded it on HBO this weekend as well but haven't watched it yet, hopefully I like it!

Oh, yeah it sucked. I'd say 2/5. If I'd have seen it for free I might go 3/5. But noooooo. Everyone wanted to go later, after matinee. And they just had to se it in 3D (which was worthless, btw). So that crappy film cost me > $100 after tickets and popcorn. And the popcorn was too salty and cold. And the theatre was cold. And I had to pee but didn't want to miss any of the suck because I paid so much. So ya. It sucked.

The story was boring, but the fights were the worst part. Seeing two or three superpowered people basically play human pingpong without suffering damage as they smash through buildings completely removed all the tension.

I liked it, quite a bit.

Michael Shannon was fantastic as Zod, but the battle scenes were almost comedic in their destruction and drug on 15-20min too long.

Plus Amy Adams, and a couple easter eggs touching on Wayne Enterprises and Lexcorp.

The absolute best battle scene to date in any movie is the final battle in the "Avengers"

I feel like it is the beginning of a much bigger story. They likely want to go after the Marvel success and place the movies in one large world/universe instead of siloing each movie. The comic worlds of DC and Marvel are so massive it's very difficult to capture all the aspects in one movie. This appeared to be the start, lets see where they go from here. It might be surprising. I liked it for various reasons but I'm more interested to see where they take things from here.

i liked it alot...

This is the best superman of all superman movies. If you're a fan of superman in comics, this movie was inspired straight from the comics.

That tells me that the comics have taken a horribly bad turn since I read them.

rhino out!

I have seen it twice, enjoyed it both times. But I am just a silly rabbit

Man of Steel (Xbox Superman) minus Amy Adams equal "The Black Hole of Suck".

 

[looney2ns]

So, DISH has an HBO preview this weekend. I'm watching "Man of Steel" for the first time.

Is it just me, or does this movie suck? I mean, it doesn't suck as much as "Superman Returns," but it still sucks.

How can "they" take such a great set of characters, a great story, and make such . . . crap?

Disgusted rhino out!

Hollywood proves each week they are very capable of producing crap.
I agree, it sucks. Especially the way overboard 20 minute final battle.

Maybe if I didn't have to pee during the very long meaningless fight scene, I might have liked it better. I just wanted it to be over.

LOL, or you're unaware that your taste has gone sour over the years. :P
