WB has to decide whether it misread the public, chose a shitty script and the wrong point man/director, made bad acting choices, or some combination of those and other elements, and they've got to be right about it, because this is an analysis they'll be doing with a multi-billion dollar pot on the line. Me, I think they got pretty much everything wrong, except for some of the casting. This is really shades of The Amazing-Spider Man 2, where the money was good enough, but the movie wasn't. |

I was hoping this movie would help people look at Man of Steel more favorably because IMO, it was a REAL GOOD movie, but it looks like it's done the exact opposite.

Meh. I went to see it and thought it was OK. Probably because I was expecting complete dross. Parts were horrific, but I enjoyed enough of the rest to be glad I saw it at the theater.
Part I disliked the most was how they treated the Doomsday section of the movie. Felt forced/fake.

How so? Warner Brothers hasn't had any tangible success from the Superman character since 1978. Superman III & IV were awful films, as was Superman Returns, while Man of Steel is still up for debate. Quote:
Accurately predicting a film's fate once it's been released to the public is a tenuous proposition at best. You can't say "Well, WB would have earned twice as much money as it did if they had cast or hired "So and So". That's nonsense. "We're not concerned with the drop," said Warners domestic distribution chief Jeff Goldstein. "No matter how you slice it, to get to $52 million on any given weekend is an enormous accomplishment. We’re most focused on where we are in total. And our global number is huge." And for the record, many in the industry believe that a decline of 70 percent or less is acceptable for BvS. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 actually dropped 72 percent in its second weekend, while The Twilight Saga: New Moon slipped 70 percent. |

"Batman, she's with you.. You literally emailed her"
I hadn't realized that. |

Hollywood doesn't know how to make a good Superman movie. They are heading in a good direction with Darkseid but they'll fill it with even more unnecessary backstory and kill the flow of the movie.

It's personal opinion, but he's just a boring character. They did bubble gum, they are doing dark, both bored me to tears. I'm not sure what they could do to make "all-American invincible except for a rock" interesting. I also haven't read the comics. Any DC I've read was batman. |

I thought Man Of Steel was a great movie... Lots of action mixed with a good story. |

There have been many attempts to get the character "right" but he's just boring. Snyder's given him an edge, which is something the die hard fans hate but what else can you do with a guy that's invincible to everything other than a meteorite from his home planet (which has never made any sense to me)? It seems to me like Superman is better suited as a TV show, like Lois and Clark or Smallville. |

Best movie of all time. I am sure it will win every award possible. This generation's Citizen Cane-code word Martha. Such an well written and believable story. No holes at all in the plot. We laughed, we were held in suspense, and cried our eyes out for the 45 minute double funeral at the end. Who knew funerals could be so exciting? I am so inspired by this instant classic, I am getting a Superman tattoo on one arm and Batman on the other. Saving room across my back for the whole Justice League - coming soon. I am sure it will be just as incredible!

As others have mentioned the whole plot of Superman vs Batman doesn't make any sense so the directors were in a bad spot from the beginning. |
