I just hope this is not true

Re: Superman: Man of Steel
 

In regards to the spoiler, makes perfect sense and I don't think it'll spoil the movie. Makes sense when you see the latest trailer.

I can't wait to see this, I think ime going to get gallery tickets to IMAX.

So what if spoiler is true. Won't do any damage I think.

I don't think there will be a "Clark Kent", as in clumsy reporter with spectacles either, perhaps until the end anyway.

No Kryptonite.

Hopefully no Lex Luther.

Will be really glad if they are doing something new and not following the same old pattern.

Re: Superman: Man of Steel
 

No kryptonite and Luthor I have no beef with. They can always go there if they choose later. And IMO Luthor has been done to death. Try Braniac or something dammit!

Re: Superman: Man of Steel
 

Trailer 3 should be banned for being TOO EPIC!

Re: Superman: Man of Steel
 

Man Of Steel will have a connection to Nolan's Batman Universe... Wayne Enterprises will be making a showing in a blink-and-miss-it scene.

Re: Superman: Man of Steel
 

Got a screening of this day before release but there might be a screening of the Heat with Bullock in attendance. I'm really looking forward to Man of Steel but how many times are they going to try rebooting this?

Superman is an icon but perhaps he's not a movie icon?

Re: Superman: Man of Steel
 

^ That list was a load of rubbish wherever you got it from... it must be for one cinema chain only because every cinema in my area is showing BOTH versions: Odeon, Vue, Cineworld.

So now I can just go 2 miles down the road to see Superman: Man of Steel! Don't need to wait now.

Re: Superman: Man of Steel
 

I forgot about that. My local is the same. They weren't showing 2D last week when I checked, but now they are.

Seems someone has changed their ideas.

Crappy reviews, Snyder sucks again.

Re: Superman: Man of Steel
 

NICE STORYLINE:

A child sent to Earth from a dying planet is adopted by a couple in rural Kansas. Posing as a journalist, he uses his extraordinary powers to protect the his new home from an insidious evil. A young journalist is forced to confront his secret extraterrestrial heritage when Earth is invaded by members of his race.
A young boy learns that he has extraordinary powers and is not of this Earth. As a young man, he journeys to discover where he came from and what he was sent here to do. But the hero in him must emerge if he is to save the world from annihilation and become the symbol of hope for all mankind. Clark Kent is a freelance reporter in his early 20's, traveling all around the world covering various news stories. However, Kent is forced to fly back into action to attain a fleeing assassin instead of covering an ethnic conflict between the Ghuri and Turaaba clans in West Africa. Upon his return to form, Kent returns to Smallville to learn more about his origins and become the hero he was born to be. A reboot of the Superman franchise. Various sources have mentioned many variations of the plot, but neither Warner Bros nor the director, Zack Snyder, have confirmed the story.

Alot of critics are blaming Nolan.

Re: Superman: Man of Steel
 

Saw it and I didn't like it. There were no fun scenes. It tried to be really emotional but didn't work.

More detail please?.

I just found the whole film to be quite boring. There was little excitement or entertainment in it. The first 15 minutes were the origin story, which offered nothing new. After that, the plot kind of jumps around, which I really liked. Unfortunately, what is jumps to was not so interesting. We see Clark in his early 20s, bouncing around to different jobs. Then we see him meet Lois Lane. Throughout all of this, we have flashbacks to Clark as a young schoolboy being bullied, but these bully scenes are very standard. We've seen these in other movies. Then we get into the action, which I won't spoil. The visual effects were insanely awesome, but that was about it. Aside from the effects, they really had nothing to offer. Throughout the film, they tried to have really emotional moments where it got really quiet and you would see superman kneel down and then epic music started to slowly play amidst dream-like cinematography. And then superman would shoot up into the air. These scenes had me laughing at how stupid they were. Not only were they useless, but they could not have possibly worked because the characters were so poorly developed. I originally was criticizing the acting in the film, but in retrospect, the actors were given nothing to do with their characters. I know some people are loving this movie, but I just don't see it.

Re: Superman: Man of Steel
 

Going to see it in t minus 8 hours. I'm fairly sure I will be disappointed.

Re: Superman: Man of Steel
 

Why don't you make up your own mind... unless you have seen it.

Yeah I've seen a few people blaming Nolan/David Goyer for trying to force the Batman template onto Superman, a character that doesn't really suit a dark and gritty take. As a result it lacks any humour or warmth, and plays out like a Michael Bay film. Certainly some of the spoilers I've stumbled across don't sound like classic Superman.

+ rep for that. You can't just automatically say that a director and his movie suck if you haven't seen the movie in the first place.
I just went and saw it today, and I loved it.

Well gave in to temptation.

Just leaving cinema but I'd give it.

Best comic book movie I've seen.

Re: Superman: Man of Steel
 

Got back from this a moment ago, really enjoyed it. I've never been the biggest Superman fan but this is definitely a good version of him. I'd give this a 9/10.

Idk if it's the best, but it's certainly better than Iron Man 3.

Maybe it's the excitement because I've just seen it, but I had so much fun watching it. The end was just massive, never seen anything like it. I wernt a massive fan of the original superman so maybe that's why I enjoyed this so much. Zack Snyder is fast becoming my favourite director.

Re: Superman: Man of Steel
 

I don't suspect it to be amazing, but I suspect to thoroughly enjoy it when I go and see it sometime next week.

I'm not sure if he'd be in my top ten, but I've been a fan of Zack Snyder since Dawn of the Dead. After seeing his latest work, it's easy to forgive him for Sucker Punch.

Re: Superman: Man of Steel
 

What exactly did you like about it so much? Or more specifically, what did you see in this movie that you've never seen in any other comic book adaption?

All of his movies are just flashy gimmick visuals with no heart or soul and Man of Steel has gotten all bad to mediocre reviews. I'm pretty safe with saying his superman sucks without seeing it.

This movie is getting stick because Synder and Nolan have changed how Superman should be. Superman Returns failed big time so why would they go down a route like that again. They changed superman for the better. I loved Krypton, how we was shown alot more about it, we seen there animals, there technology, there law. I loved how Superman wasnt some cheesy guy running from a phone box in his red and blue suit. Man Of Steel was everything I wanted and more. This movie had to go big because of everything else around.

Re: Superman: Man of Steel
 

Im really looking forward to watching this, my son (and me :p ) love all these superhero films and this looks epic!

but is it better than Iron Man (2008)?

Did we watch the same movie?

Re: Superman: Man of Steel
 

Probably so but with different eyes and hearts.

Well, if that ain't the most poignant thing I've read today.

:bawling: That's beautiful man!

I'll agree on Sucker Punch, but Watchmen had an actual story to go with the visuals. So did 300 and Dawn of the Dead.

Re: Superman: Man of Steel
 

Upon first viewing I give this movie a solid + it's likely to come up when I review at home.

Re: Superman: Man of Steel
 

I'm the opposite, love Sucker Punch but didn't like Watchmen on first watch, I bought the director's cut on Blu-ray so I'm going to watch it a second time to give it a second chance. Also really liked Dawn of the Dead and 300. :D

I didn't initially think much of Watchmen on my first viewing either; I thought it was kind of boring. But the more I thought about it, the more I started to appreciate it, and when I watched the director's cut I ended up loving it. Hopefully you'll have the same results.

Kind of ignorant to judge any movie before you see it.

Re: Superman: Man of Steel
 

I really liked Man of Steel. It had its flaws like bad first-half writing and character development, but the action packed second-half and the great acting more than make up for it. 3.5/5 stars

Re: Superman: Man of Steel
 

Mad corny, awful dialogue, moronic ending. Good action, though.

Re: Superman: Man of Steel
 

and an amazing score by Hans Zimmer.

Re: Superman: Man of Steel
 

I haven't gotten around to watching Man of Steel yet, which is a bazaar one for me because I'm usually very quick about watching movies, always seeing them when they first open, etc., but I'm actually going to be going to see it and hopefully World War Z both on Thursday.

Have you even seen the other Superman films? The corny factor in those films is over 9000

Re: Superman: Man of Steel
 

Man Of Steel is the best movie of Superman of all time. and a good return of him as well. this shows that the fans of Superman still loves him alot

Couldn't agree more mate.

NO it's wrong. i didn't mean that

Re: Superman: Man of Steel
 

i really love this movie. seriously. and you love it too that's why you're here

Yea we're definitely on the same wavelength buddy!

Re: Superman: Man of Steel
 

What The Hell :mad: ..

Re: Superman: Man of Steel
 

Rather than clogging up the BvS thread... watch this, and tell me you don't get goosebumps...

I always had a fondness for this movie. I have no clue whatsoever what the bashing is about. This is probably the best reincarnation to date. If Superman ever gets another reboot, which I doubt it ever will due to the fact of the now DC Cinematic Universe and Henry Cavil is part of the whole thing....there is no way they can outdo the character. Unless they make it a real flying human being with special powers literally given to him with no special effects. lol

Re: Superman: Man of Steel
 

The biggest problem with Superman is that he is too powerful. I hope Batman kicks his arse somehow.

Re: Superman: Man of Steel
 

Supes isn't going to be all powerful for long... not if Luthor is going to build Metallo in BvS... or if Darkseid comes along... which I guarantee will at some point.

Re: Superman: Man of Steel
 

I stick with my four popcorn rating for this movie. I think it is really good. I can't wait to see BvS!

Re: Superman: Man of Steel
 

I mean whoever decided not to use the original score for at least some of the movie needs to be fired. It's like the Bond movies, there's always new music but the underlying theme is so legendary that it's always used at some point.


Hanz Zimmer must have privately thought to himself "how the **** do I follow Williams LEGENDARY score??".
