the MOS suit was incredible. Its put to rest any doubts for the Batfleck design
It looks terrible. Might as well make all costumes black. Anyway, that doesn't really matter since the movie itself turned out to be bad.

It looks awesome, mind you, just like the movie itself.

Let me guess - the action was super cool?

I know it sounds ridiculous but I keep thinking that the only reason Ben Affleck was cast as Batman was because his jaw is exactly the same as the old Batman of The Dark Knight Returns.

That's what makes him such a good choice IMO, 'Batman' is a pretty easy role to play, you just need to have a good jaw and be able to act stern. It's Bruce Wayne that's the tricky part, and if anyone can do 'goofball that nobody would ever believe is Batman', it's Affleck.

They wont listen. Some people see no problem with an iconic suit being tampered with and made Navy and Burgundy, instead of Red and Blue.He doesn't look heroic at all. Trying to be dark and serious. The writing plus the actor didn't help either.
This movie was a joke. By the end of the film I left the theater with a bald spot from the intense head scratching.

Unless your opinions is facts, I don't see why I should listen.
But then how would people be able to tell those who enjoyed the movie or are looking forward to the next one that their tastes are inferior?

This thread is about an up coming movie. If they wanna talk about taste or about how horrible the last one is, go to the movie thread or make a new thread.

To be fair everyone's wrong. Those supporting the new suit. Those supporting old ideas.
The best thing that can happen to the costume is if it gets the red trunks. Then it would be perfect.
The red trunks can save us all.

Then don't say "they won't listen" as if I am supposed to.
I like that MoS was polarizing. Though I do get the feeling that a significant chunk of MoS haters are comprised of "if it ain't Marvel it's garbage" watchers and "if it ain't Reeve's it's garbage" watchers. The rest have valid complaints whose opinion I can understand but I feel like they make up a small portion.
Anyways, I hope we get something solid soon. All this speculative nonsense is growing older by the day.

Jesus Christ. Some people are shitting even on Supes costume? What? Lack of panties outside is hurting so much?
MoS had plenty of problems, but the costume wasn't one of them. The whole Superman actually wasn't. He looked and moved incredible.
They absolutely nailed the portrayal and look of Superman in MoS. I couldn't actually picture him getting transposed to the big screen in any other way.

Am I the only one who thought the designs for Zod and his underlings armor was absolutely fantastic? Just plain badass

Some people are legit bothered by the fact that others enjoyed MoS. Like, they seethe at the idea. Even as someone who thought it was pretty bad overall myself, it's just strange to watch. MoS wasn't the worst movie ever. Wasn't even the worst superhero ever. Wasn't even the worst Superman movie ever - a title still held firmly by Superman IV. And yet, here we are, almost a year after its release and people are still angry about it, and ready to reject the notion that there was any aspect of the movie that the director and crew got right. And damned if they're not going to let everyone know.

Yeah it should have been more like this:
And it was barely muted, the colours were vivid in most scenes:
Most importantly, it looked suitably alien.

That is controversial.
It actually was. Which is what i was hoping from a Superman film you know. If i want some good drama i'll watch something else.
I actually think Returns gets a worse rep than it deserves.
Wasn't the chief complaint about Superman Returns that "it had no action" ?

It's mostly Marvel fanboys. Because only Marvel can make a good superhero movie. Everything else sucks. Even Marvel properties suck if they're not done by Marvel itself. Nevermind that Marvel hits gold like 1 time out of 3.
When I look at some threads it feels like many people actually want stuff like Amazing Spiderman 2, XMen: DofP, Batman vs Superman of Fantastic Four to fail. They act like having a great superhero movie from studio other than Marvel would actually be a bad thing.
I won't lie, there's a part of me that wants DOFP and ASM2 to bomb just to accelerate the hopes that Marvel proper gets the rights back. They overall just generally seem to have "it" more figured out than Sony or Fox. Bad Marvel Studios movies tend to be better than bad Sony/Fox Marvel movies. Fox in particular seems to stumble onto good movies.
It does. Returns is fantastic.
I don't know if I'd use fantastic. But I enjoyed watching it. The thing is, it's the type of movie that I'll watch once and not have much ambition to see again. Eye candy wise it's not really prone to revisiting.
I haven't actually seen MoS yet, but surely it's not too much to ask for both?

lol @ Evans' face.
I don't want to derail the thread with Returns, so I'll just link to this review:
http://www.filmfreakcentral.net/ffc/2013/06/superman-returns.html
My only issue with Returns was the casting of Lois.
I actually hate this, because due to these people I've actually subconsciously started to dislike Marvel movies and want them to fail despite actually enjoying my ride up until Avengers. I've seen the first 10 minutes of Thor 2 like 5 times and just can't get into the movie because I persuaded myself that it is shit and am barely excited for Cap 2. Having said that, Iroman 3 sucking certainly didn't help.

I think Returns suffers less from the action dearth and more from the likeable or even interesting characters dearth. It probably has more action than Batman Begins for one.
To be fair, IM2 is about the same level of awful as SM3 and Captain America and Thor certainly weren't any better than ASM1.
that it does. It's a enjoyable movie.
seems downright strange that I like a bryan singer movie

Oh I know
I still see it on Tumblr and Twitter.
I find the hatred for this film unique because I've never seen such hate be long-lasting and constant.
In the sense that people need to often remind you they hate this film, and explain in great detail why you shouldn't either

I thought people generally didn't mind Man of Steel until I read all the internet hate. I thought it was worth it for the action scenes, I guess it helps I'm not a huge Superman fan.
Difficult to take posts like this seriously when you have a DC avatar. Same goes for Gaming side when people shit all over xbox and have Sony / Kaz avatars.
Stop spending so much time on GAF. Don't let other people influence your decisions.
They don't dislike the movie, the detractors online have the loudest voices. Audience scores for Man of Steel were positive.

I have an avatar from DC TV show. Big difference
Not to mention it doesn't really change the ridiculous hate there is for some nonMarvel movies that we have seen nothing from. Not even a damn picture from the set.
There is some truth to that but his comment was just too dumb. Complaining to someone who liked the action in a Superman film. Its pretty much the same as roasting someone because they liked the comedy in The 40 year old Virgin. (first comedy that pops to mind)
I had a bit of this once. I got over it by rewatching the films and reminding myself why I liked them in the first place. Well, the ones I actually did like. Still don't much care for either Thor movie, Incredible Hulk, or Iron Man 2.
It's fascinating to watch, yeah? I wish I could pinpoint what it is about this movie and the context in which it was released that causes people to have such extreme reactions to it.
I am a huge Superman fan - have been since I was a wee lad - and even I don't catch feelings over MoS like some folks do. I figure one poor Superman flick does nothing to detract from all the good Superman material out there. I mean, my copy of "All Star Superman" didn't exactly burst into flames when MoS came out. lol
