What do you mean?

I felt such a strong emotional connection to Clark. Its like my whole life flashed before my eyes. My relationship with my own father. My belief on God, everything changed after watching this. I lay in bed the night after watching it, and thought a lot about what I have done with my life up until that point. Had I done enough. What will I do with the next 10 years. Should I be a better man.

Man of Steel (Maybe the best depiction of a comic hero ever put to film) Any movie that can draw such emotion out of us, and make me question life and our purpose deserves a huge nod.

If you guys take the time to read the underlying themes, its really powerful stuff.

Man of Steel: 10/10.

Once in a while a movie comes along and tugs at your heart with emotions and action that reminds you of why you love movies so much. Exposition that is smarter than what movies critics give it credit for. Man of Steel is such a movie.

With a complicated story that ranges from political struggles, to dealing with teenage angst, trying to find your place in the world, to dealing with life altering decisions; Zack Snyder covered it all. Approaching Man of Steel with a clean palette, he was able to paint a picture that might be looked at in time as a masterpiece.

From some of the best casting choices to the most awe inspiring camera work, you really believed a man can fly. Some of the best action sequences that made me forget about the Avengers.

With tears in my eyes, I stood in my living room clapping at the screen as the credits rolled.

Every once in a while we are lucky enough to see a meteor slicing through the sky.
Every once in a while we are lucky enough to witness something special.

I cried during the birth scene
I shed a tear during the loss scene
I shed a tear when Supes had to make a very tough decision at the end.

Caville is Superman. Superman is emotionally half human. To be human is to feel. Thank you Snyder for understanding that.

This movie is beast. 10/10.

Calling something the Empire Strikes Back of whatever genre or film series it's involved in is one of the laziest analogies to exist in film discussion.

I respect your opinion - but with all due respect MoS isn't a film that deserves more of my time to understand its themes. I got its themes, and I thought it all sucked. You can like it, but don't discredit other opinions by assuming they failed to grasp some underlying depth.

edit: That said, I NEEED your review of this sequel.

When Batman vs Superman comes out, your review is the only one I'll care to read here, Liquidsnake.

I honestly got a headache from reading this review. Terribly written.

I don't ever feel that their expanding world feels completely out of place, I feel like the world is just oh so expanding rather than playing coy, of course we still have a lot of surprises left in store for us till the future, but it was enough to keep me wanting more and I'm sure other audiences too. The action and how everything is resolved feels like you are on a wild rollercoaster, from the
moment Lex demands Superman to kill Batman,
and probably delivers the most scariest Superman face I have ever seen, it just takes you on to the insane moments.

My only question is: do batman and Superman have a big fight or is it one of those things that are quickly settled and they have to unite to fight a greater evil?
 
Went to see it last night. Got a decent way into it and the movie screwed up with about the same ~5 seconds on loop for a few minutes til the person in the booth cut it off.

For technical reasons, they couldn't continue but we got free passes to use after the movie comes out.

I wasn't even mad...a little bummed though.

Edit: I did enjoy what I saw though. :)

as someone who has seen it, don't get excited based on that review.

I didn't even read it haha after seeing the mild spoiler warning in the title. I got my expectations locked and in check.

I'm more curious about seeing the review scores than worried about whether they might affect my expectations since I often never really trust reviews when it comes to comic book movies.

Yeah its difficult for me to trust some of you, Anyone who hated MOS, loses a little bit of credibility with me because its one of the most important films of the last decade.

I knew I liked you for a reason.

Now I'm not sure I would go as far as to say it's the most important movie of the last decade, but the movie is a damn masterpiece.

From the moment Kal-El crashed on earth and that soaring Zimmer theme went on when Clark first flew I knew this movie was special. By the end of the movie I was in tears.

And now to finally experience The Trinity on the big screen is the best thing ever, and to have it lead into Justice League and beyond is something I never thought would happen.

Oh ok. It's just when you said it was important I thought you meant it was important in the sense that Citizen Kane or Birth of a Nation are. If MOS means a lot to you personally that's great, I was just a bit confused with your wording.

It could've been. It really could've been. It had the potential and a fascinating core, but it fumbled hard.

This sounds like atleast a noticeable enough improvement despite some of the stuff that bothers me.

I know its not Citizen Kane, I mean important to me, and important to see what direction we can take comic movies, it doesn't always have to be Benny Hill Comedies like Avengers.
 
TBH, the review from garuyo (spanish), reads like it was written by a Marvel Fanboy. He also claims as a negative that it's too much like a comic book.

Where I have insulted the movies? I only said one focuses more on being grounded and realistic whereas the other being more comicbook like (meaning nailing one criteria: realistic or comicbook like), but kinda fails on being both a great movie and a comicbook movie like deadpool (that doesn't mean its better then TDK, Avengers) which felt like a comicbook movie if you know what I mean.

Well that last part is pure Snyder through n through. It's what we would expect. Yeah, it doesn't always translate in a cinematic sense, but I generally enjoy it.
