Just finished my watch of Man of Steel. It took me three sittings but at least I did it. This was the 3rd time I watched it through till the end and I loved it much more this time.
It's actually incredible how I went from really hating it on my first watch to loving it right now.
It is too long for its own good, parts could have been cut down. I think the most boring part to me was the whole military ordeal. I understand why they are there and I am happy they were but the characters in the military were no-faces and they were just kind of there to stop this alien threat which is okay, they should absolutely be there, I just think I could have done with less.
Everything else were top notch. I did notice all of the collateral damage and I like how it can be argued how much of it is Superman's fault or the kryptons' fault. Really that whole aspect.
It's an above average comic book movie, that's for sure.
Can't wait for Batman v Superman tomorrow. I hope to see more of Superman's struggles and if Washington accepts that Superman wants to protect Earth on his own terms. I hope they won't accept it, as a superhero shouldn't operate completely on his own terms but let's see where this is going. Very interesting.
I'm also wondering about the end. It seems like Louis Lane already knows who Clark Kent is.
