Had to be done as that was the setup for the masterpiece Batman vs Superman...

Backwards - BvS used the criticism from MoS and made it into a plot point to address it. One of the (few?) good ideas from that film.

Halfway through the movie I'm thinking to myself, "why don't the humans go and get some kryptonium and put and end to these Invaders."

Bullets, guns, and knives are futile against them. Perhaps kryptonium laced bullets.

The amount of havoc they wrecked is completely unacceptable. Skycrapers falling down, buildings collapsing, million dollar aircraft ripped to shreds; not to mention all the human loss of life just from their fights.


Oh well, its a movie. What can one expect?

Both of those movies are trash

Sorry everyone. My mistake. It's Kryptonite.

I really didn't like to see Superman being thrashed and thrown around by some chick. I mean, is this for real?


What I cannot understand is, why hadn't Superman noticed halfway through the skirmishes that, it was the masks/helmets (that his adversaries were wearing) that was the key to defeating them.


What a real let down it was when it seemed Superman would finally get the upper hand, his adversaries were magically rescued in their time of need by that annoying spacecraft of theirs.

At the ending scene when the main antagonist was laser eyeing that crowd, I'm wondering to myself, "why didn't they try to move out of the way, perhaps they were in a panic (frozen)."



No freeze breath is seen/utilized the entire movie nor is x-ray vision. I wanna see the entire gamut of Superman's abilities be utilized, else I'm shortchanged in a way. Why couldn't Superman use these abilities against his foes?

So many questions.

LOL at Laurence Fishburne getting so much camera time. One scene, he just looks at the trapped woman under all the rubble like "I'm sorry, but you're effed!"

Freeze breath and X-ray are used in Justice League. Superman didn't know the full strength of his abilities at that point. I'm with you on the energy mask things: he flat out tells Zod how to deal with the disorientation.

This movie though was better than it's being given credit for, in my opinion. I feel like Snyder was playing the long game because there was supposed to be a Man of Steel 2 but that turned into BvS. I don't agree with his decision to slow things down so much. Had he shown the same movie with a few scenes cut out, but at the pace and tone of, say, Wonder Woman, I think it would have been received better by critics and the audience.

That's just, like, my opinion, man. I'm not a movie aficionado by any stretch of the imagination, just a fan of the DCEU movies.

I didn't hate it. Had some moments but the fight at the end was stupid. Yes we get they're invulnerable.

It reminded me of the chicken fights from family guy, they just beat the sh** out of each other for ever and ever.

Serious question for the board.

What's the better picture?

This version of Superman OR I Know What You Did Last Summer.

Discuss.

IKWYDLS. Not even a decision. If Jennifer Love Hewitt was in Superman also, then you would have a case on your hands.

Also part of what makes Can't Hardly Wait the best 90's teen movie.

Two movies I've only seen once and don't care to see again. I think I'd rather watch mediocre action than mediocre horror.

I don't have nearly the problem with them than some here do. But I'm not some kind of hoity-toity movie expert.

No I enjoyed both of those movies a lot (especially the Ultimate Edition of BvS. It's so fun watching Lex pull all of those strings and setting everything up). I even walked out of BvS at the theater explaining to my friend that I much preferred DC movies over Marvel. Just usually people on this board that post that are trolling.

Justice League was my favorite movie I saw in theaters last year.

It was a bad movie and it should be ashamed to have been made.

had a couple of awesome trailers though

And had Seasons by Chris Cornell.

I have always loved Superman. He was our first and most iconic superhero. He has the best origin story of any comic book character. Clark is also a lot more complex than most give him credit for. The guy has 4 different identities and is just trying to do the right thing. His story is meant to inspire us.

I was hoping that Man of Steel would capture him in this way, but it missed. I think a lot of things were right about this movie... the "You are my son" scene with Pa Kent, the scene where Clark emerges from the spacecraft in the suit for the first time, and any scene with Russell Crowe..these were all very good. Even the last line of the movie, "Welcome to the Planet", was spot on. But so many things were just wrong. Pa Kent would never have told Clark to let those kids on the school bus die, and Clark would not have let his dad get killed by a tornado. The "love story" between Clark and Lois could have been touching and believable, but it was rushed to the point of absurdity. The writers took too many liberties with the characters.

The problem with Man of Steel was that it was a collection of scenes, some good and some horribly bad. It was not a story.

Oddly enough, Batman's description of Superman in Justice League captured him better than almost anything in Man of Steel. "He's had a job. He's fallen in love. He's more human than I am in spite of all that power. The world needs Clark."

I thought we were done with this crap. I saw a handful of movies. Sorry for being more entertained by one movie than the others I saw.

Maybe don't take his joke so seriously. I laughed at it because that's what it was....a simple joke.

Whatever. Not worth it.

MoS > Citizen Kane, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Empire Strikes Back

Good gosh. It was an easy, light-hearted joke. I wasn't attacking you.

Gotcha.

Similarly, it's hard to tell who's being sincere and who's just being a smartass when it comes to DC movies.

I feel like Man of Steel, Wonder Woman, and BvS were all attempts to take the genre more serious instead of trying to compete heads up and out-Marvel Marvel. I wonder if MoS and BvS fell a little flat because they were not really sure how to do that effectively and they ended up being ineffective hybrids. But if you:

• Look at the success of Logan
• Look at the success of Nolan's Batman movies
• Look at the success of The Punisher, Dare Devil, etc. on Netflix

There is definitely a market for edgier, darker, R or near-R super hero movies aimed at adults.

Man of Steel, BvS and Justice League fell flat because Zach Snyder is an awful director. Wonder Woman showed that DC can make a good movie that isn't centered around just Batman. Hopefully now that he is out of the picture permanently, things will change for the better.

Man of Steel is an awesome movie right up until he lands on Earth.

I did like Russel Crowe in it.

This.

Prequel based on Jor-El would have been a better movie.

Serious = CrazyDayDuck being intent on the 93% Rotten Tomatoes score of WW equaling film greatness.

Smartass = everyone else.
