Pretty much. The story was better than most of Marvels output, the music was better, the cinematography was better, the action was better...I mean its hard to come up with something that the usual Marvel movies do better than man of steel.
It didn't end up being the greatest fucking movie since sliced bread, but it's miles ahead of the usual super hero dreck
Or...it's just not a good movie. There are good parts to it, but Snyder can't direct actors and the whole thing is just kind of tone-deaf.

Spoilers need instructions now? My bad edited original post.

So the fight in Smallville did NOTHING for you?
That shit was fucking jaw dropping.
Its not a great movie, but its a shining light in a sea of mostly marvel blandness
Kind of the opposite of how it is in comics.
I thought Watchmen was great. That excuse only applies to Man of Steel. Something like Sucker Punch being total garbage is entirely Snyder's fault.

That looks like garbage. It even has the same sfx as the shitty prequel flying machines. Star Wars/LOTR/and Fast and Furious all in the same clip. Marketing guy is salivating

no...it just needed more Faora Ul....omg she should be in all comic book movies from now till kingdom come.
Pretty much any Marvel movie thread is never about the marvel movie but how every other movie is better. Mixed in the trolls, the rankings, the "this is shit," the "marvel movies are bland", the CG is bad, the "lol superheroes" and sprinkle some people who actually like them because god forbid they enjoy it, and you got yourself a marvel movie thread. It's like neogaf hates that marvel is successful in their films.

well duh, either way im excited to see TDW but retcon out the super science asgardians....i understand the context of the film, none of this makes anything more believable. Believable to whom? Thor son of Odin son of Bor should be heir to the throne of asgard in its own fucking realm full of elves and magiks and dwarves and uru metal. Fuck you ultimate universe.
so much meh
the action nearly put me to sleep to be honest
and when supes
broke zod's neck
all of the marvel movies are entertaining as hell. no needs for rankings. looking forward to this one as well.

Read my post again. Well shot. Good effects. Did nothing to engage me.
I will say that I'm glad Larry Fong is coming back though. Man of Steel had nicely constructed action sequences, but everything else looked a little bit ass. Certainly a far cry from the polish of Watchmen.

The fact that people rate IM2 so high makes me want to eat a bullet.
Amazing.
Such an incredibly likable man.
Race sequence with suitcase suit is one of my favorite comic book movie scenes ever.
When whiplash is flailing his whips around its awesome.

Thankful for Iron Man 2 purely because of Sam Rockwell. Rest of it is pretty damn bad.

Just saw this in Paris for the premiere.
Was fun and entertaining. Last act is the best IMO which leaves a pleasant taste.
Loki guy and Natalie Portman were there. The first seemed like a genuinely nice guy taking selfies with fans and all. Girls were hysteric for him btw...

I am a straight man, but Loki gives me tingly feelings in my nether regions.
It's not arousal, but it's something, you know? You just look at him and think "cor blimey, what a magical man. I wonder if he eats weetabix"
I still love latina women, but it's something to think about. They don't make me tingle, but he doesn't arouse me.
Anyway, looks fantastic. Booked my tickets ages ago.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if the stuff in this clip is from the late extra shooting they did a couple of months ago to add more Loki into the movie. It definitely feels like it.
Holy Shit
I demand a dance off, Loki vs. Justin Hammer
Avengers being the best comic/superhero movie ever made retroactively made IM2 better.
Similar to how TDK raised the other 2 films.
Ugh, man... they should have let this clip sit in the oven a little while longer. The audio here is awful.
this is like the most generic, repetitive banter mostly heard in videogame chase missions.
"watch out! who taught you how to drive?"
"we're not going to make it!"
"watch out! who taught you- we're not going to make it!"

I love scenes like that in the clip but man, they are cliched. I was actually thinking about this earlier today. It's that
"We're not going to make it through there"
"Yes we are!"
"Oh no no no no...."
The whole fitting the craft through a small space or flying out before a door closes.
Into Darkness, Star Wars, ID4, pretty much an action sci-fi movie involving spacecraft of some sort.

I must be out of my mind. I'm not even that excited for the film and yet I just purchased a rather expensive ticket to the opening on the 30th October (29th October in US) + some goodies:
I admit, it was theCoke Zero the figurines that nailed me to commit to this unusually expensive movie-going experience. But when I think about it, the figurines themselves worth about $40 ($20 each x 2) if I had bought them on their own. So with the Poster + 3 x 3D glasses + Marvel Bag not to mention the movie ticket itself, the whole thing just pays for itself. Got a really good seat too. All in all, I figured it's worth the price.

The Loki figurine is cuter than it should be. What's VMAX btw? I'm American so is that the European version of IMAX or something?I must be out of my mind.

Edit: No, it has to be American since it's being sold in dollars. lol. Never heard of VMAX either way.
VMAX is just a term used by EVENT Cinemas, a huge cinema chain here in Sydney/Australia, to describe their large-ass screen where they screen event films like Thor, Man of Steel, etc.

Being better than most of Marvel's output is like being better than most of Len Wiseman's output. It's not exactly bar to be proud of clearing. Man of Steel's story was vapid and lazy.
A morally and narratively justified reinterpretation of the character that is also true to the spirit of the concept of Superman

That's a nice package. I wonder if we have anything like that in the States, especially Vegas.

It's actually what Event Cinemas use to charge their audiences more to watch movies on their bigger, main screens - that used to cost the same as any other movie. On the plus side, they changed all the seats to these big, wide comfy leather things.
Well, that too. But I have to admit that I prefer that to cheaper but softdrink-stained, flea-infested seats Greater Union cinemas used to have before EVENT took that lot in George Street over.

I'll always head to Bondi Junction Event - which have gotten better about the weightlifters in the gym downstairs shaking the whole fucking cinema every time they drop the bar. I used to get free Vmax tickets because of that annoying shit.
