re: The OFFICIAL Man of Steel Discussion and ***SPOILERS*** Thread

Probably dont need a Spoilers tag because of the OP but I know most havent watched it yet so ill do it anyways







<>>*SPOILERS************<<<>>>>>>
















Okay, so overall I love this movie. I dont want to compare them but you kind of have to so ill say i think it is on the level of the Batman films but the movie is still fresh on my mind so i could be overreacting but thats my guy reaction.


I though General Zod was AMAZING. They made him and Supes Dad a Beast and the fight scenes were incredible. They found new ways to keep the fighting interesting and Superman was kept at a level of vulnerability for a lot of the fight scenes to keep it interesting, which was vital for the movies success. Every scene on Krypton was money and i loved the way they made the story their own

The overall arc of a story flowed really well. They didnt give you a cut and dry "oh here is Superman as a baby, then as a teen, then him now", they spliced the story together in a way that felt natural and Kept Ja-el in the plot throughout the movie which was an excellent move.

I love how they never made Superman really feel comfortable, he was an outcast, an alien, etc which again gave him some vulnerability, Making people feel bad a superhero that has no weaknesses is not an easy task. The flashbacks were some of the strongest parts of the movie (and some of the weaker).

I thought Superman himself was pretty good. As good as he needed to be. But the strength of this movie is Ja-el and Zod.

I did not like Lois Lane. Idk what it was but i found myself hating her. Most of the human characters were pretty cheesy, but not that noticeable

Dialogue was probably the weakest part of the movie. There were some bad lines like the "Theres only 1 way this ends, either you die or I do!!" Umm im sorry Zod, thats 2 ways that ends. There was only a couple of those moments but it deserves mention

Also some cheesy moments like Superman punching and screaming at Zod at the farm.

I was worried that Supes and Zod wouldnt get a shot at 1v 1 but they did and it was great. Had me smiling ear to ear in enjoyment


Overall, it was a great fun action flick that made you care about its characters and and GREAT superman flick. It got much deserved claps at the end.


My early Rating is a 9.0/10. It could go up of down on a rewatch and time to settle
