Have most of the people in the spoiler thread actually seen the movie? Or are they just reacting negatively to plot points?

One poster has seen it and wasn't crazy over it, the rest seem to be bitching about a plot point which I personally don't have a problem with.

A conversation between writer/producer Kevin Biegel, film critic/screenwriter Drew McWeeney, film writer Kim Jordan, and film critic Devin Faraci.
Drew is cool and we usually agree on a lot of things.
Pretty much. Too bad he is supposedly an awesome guy IRL. One of my friend's and him are super cool.
Tomorrow on Film Stage: Seven Superman Stories About Superman You Should Read Before Seeing Man of Steel.
If the embargo was up the day before the movie I would be scared. It isn't. Monday before=good or the company has faith. Any day from Weds-Friday (The release day for most films)= no faith or it is downright bad. It also depends which critics have seen it too. I know a few of the bigger sites/magazines here in LA aren't seeing it until either Monday or Tuesday.

im obviously not gonna spoil you but something about the film is gonna straight up ruin the movie for some of you, that's all. That's pretty much whats turned the thread negative and it'll happen here.
Expect some heated discussions.
Heated discussions on GAF? Well I be damned.

I guess i was trying to frame it against how MoS threads have been on gaf thus far. Its been nearly universally positive and I think thats gonna change hard.

well hopefully it's just not a mess like tdkr (barring the last beautiful 5 minutes)
i can forgive plot holes and the like. unless they're written by damon lindelof and his cronies. because those guys make movies that i can't even think about 5 minutes after leaving the theater without hating it.

What was the general view of IM3 on gaf? Never bothered to follow the thread. I personally thought it was a dreadful film.

best film from marvel studios. most people didn't like it around here though. i'm just so happy i got a shane black movie with iron man as opposed to just an iron man movie by some director for hire.
second best film of the summer after fast and furious. hopefully man of steel trumps both.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world hed rather have. The problem is, Dwyanes not a woman.
The fact that Simo loved it and he's a huge Superman fan makes me feel pretty damn comfortable going into this movie as a Supes fan.
"im obviously not gonna spoil you but something about the film is gonna straight up ruin the movie for some of you, that's all. That's pretty much whats turned the thread negative and it'll happen here."
If it's some change to the origin, a character or whatever no shits given here. Superman and parts of his story have changed so much over the course of 75 years that nothing will bother me if it's regarding that (except having a kid lol). Not shocked that a Supes thread has finally turned negative here though, he's never been a huge favorite on GAF and Ive been posting here for like 14 or 15 years.
Bitching about a plot point on GAF? shocking lol happens with every superhero movie.
liberties taken with an adaptation don't bother me most of the time. not everything has to fit the status quo.
though, I am a fan of consistancy within expressed logic of a universe. Something silly like a nuclear bomb or a microwave evaporator fits the nolan trilogy but man bat or clayface from the comics wouldn't.
like how I wouldn't expect adam west batman to feel remorse over his parents death because i'm fairly certain his origin was never mentioned in the show or movie.

From what I recall, most of the fan reaction initially from Superman Returns was positive on the Bluetights forum.
Dear God. I have played this exact scene over in my head since I was probably 13.
Amazing.

I've not seen the film but have read some of the spoilers, if it is what I think it is then don't sweat it. People getting upset over it are baffling me to be honest.

RIP Ebert indeed.

Wasn't here, as soon as word got out about piano tossing kid people went from hyped to ugh really quickly if I recall. Also Bluetights practically felt like the official Returns forum, wasn't shocking that most of the fan response was positive. Plus it had been an even longer wait for a Superman film.
I was positive we decided on a title mentioning the bus.

Well the film title is already a lie. He ain't real steel
I felt that Returns had some interesting ideas but wasted potential.
The piano scene didn't bother me as I figured out early on that the boy was
I mean
I liked luthors line about about superman, and lois writing a story about how the world didn't need superman had potential.
Then the whole real estate knockoff plot, very little action, stalker superman, superman getting his ass handed to him, being kissed back to life by a little boy.......was what ruined it.

If you guys want to use a gimmick Singer-related title (the one that was "voted" on) there's still X-Men: Days of Future Past. Spend it wisely.
I stand by my callback to Action Comics, one of the longest ongoing comics today.
Part II should be up this weekend. I saw ReiGun and FatboyRoberts's plugs and will probably link them within it.
