I just wish they did make Zod stronger cause I never felt like Superman was in any kind of danger at all through out the entire film. With The Dark Knight Rises, I really felt Batman was gonna die at the hands of Bane. Bane was absolutely scary in that film. |

I guess I'm going to go my whole life without seeing a really great, modern Superman movie. I should just accept it. Man of Steel is an immature, scattershot mess. Completely overwrought. I love that they took him to sci-fi roots and I love that they wanted to go a more serious route, but this joyless attempt left me hoping Zack Snyder is just done. That guy makes hollow action fests and nothing more. The only reason the over reverential "Watchman" was any good at all was because he just literally translated the comic.
Man of Steel betrayed the character of Superman completely.
Spoiler!
My only encouragement is that Snyder didn't **** anything up so badly it can't be fixed with a GREAT sequel, but unless he is replaced (As well as David Goyer) it won't happen. I even liked the cast. Hopefully the fan/critical backlash will oust Snyder, but I'm not holding my breath./rant |

I respect your opinion, and trust me I wanted to love this movie, but all the emotion it has feels completely unearned to me.
Spoiler!
Like I said before emotionally hollow. Also, when the like three times they tried to introduce some levity, they had established such a morose world and hero that their attempts felt jarring. I have a free pass to see this again, and I doubt I will. |
GREAT write up by "Birthright" author Mark Waid (although he's more generous than me);):

I've been avoiding this thread for months because I wanted to avoid spoilers... but I finally saw it this afternoon. Pretty solid. I always feel like I need to watch movies like this a second time to take it all in. Definitely chock full of action. Epic action movie... but I never really felt overwhelmed or exhausted by it. I think I might have said this a few years back after Returns... but they are just never going to make everyone happy with a Superman movie. Too many varying opinions of what the character should and shouldn't be and do.
They definitely went head-on toward addressing issues people have with the Superman "storyline" in general.
