honestly I think Luthor is a good man. if it wasn't for him I wouldn't have a job or gone to school thanks to Lexcorp work/study program. I just think Luthor really looks out for the regular guy.

honestly Rei, I think you're being very unfair to Death of Superman. it was actually fairly good, and gave us lots of good characters. it was handled as well as the killing of an icon can be. it was a really big, fun spectacle and it worked out in the end. I just don't see what was "bad" about it.
Referencing current events, I like.

I'm with him, it was terrible.
The best Superman comics aren't just fight scenes, and this one was several issues of one big fight scene. And the fight was dumb. It wasn't really choregraphed and it didn't make any sense from a tactical standpoint, and there was no real drama. It was bland as hell.
So basically "Public Enemies". They should save that for the "World's Finest" movie.
I think you could get around that a little bit so long as this is Lex Luthor's motivation:
This is key. Luthors race never really played into his motivations, but his desire for man to achieve more for itself did. That's what drives his hatred for Superman. If they can capture that and make his motivations clear then I'll be happy.
He was Lex's voice in the show right? I guess so, since you posted a picture of Lex. He's the voice I imagine anytime I read Luthor in any Superman comic.

I've seen this movie twice, and I kinda want to see it a third time in theaters. I can't quite place what I like so much about this movie, especially given how much I hate Superman as a character.
Also, Denzel as Lex seems fine to me, he would probably play the role amazingly.

Unlike the actual movie, HISHE Man of Steel was pretty disappointing. So much wasted potential.
Too much hope for I'm afraid.
it really was.
At least the "everything wrong with" Men in black 3 I watched was good.

Will be interesting to see if they respond to any criticism

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
I seriously doubt they would announce a sequel this early.
Will be interesting if people are brave enough to give criticism surrounded by fans.
I think people are most interested in the future of the Justice League and what DC villians will be drawn upon.

I wonder if they'll show progress on the supposed 75th anniversary animation.

They have to, all the prime dates are taken for summer 2015 (first may friday, memorial weekend, 4th of july), so they either have to put MoS2 at the end of july (july 17th or 24th) or go for a release near christmas, December 18th. WB is the only studio that hasn't announced a big movie for 2015, so they have to get a move on.
I want a release date for the blu ray! Hopefully before november.

At comic-con?
They're not going to get any.
That's not how those panels go. Even if someone raises a cogent point about some of the film's deficiencies, they're going to get booed and shouted down. Nobody's at comic-con for anything but ass-kissing and gladhanding.
At least when it comes to the movie side of things.
The comics side? That's different.

I still think it will hit in Nov/ close to Dec.
I also feel like they won't announce the release date till it hits $300 million domestic to use in trade ads since it's so close.

Yup.
They want that nice round number. They're going to keep the film in theaters until they get it. It'll essentially be written off as a marketing expense, paying theaters to keep it on a screen until it limps over.

This felt like it would be a trilogy ending with the sheer amount of destruction and NO personality of superman Lois Lane the daily planet people or metropolis...
Felt like a Michael Bay movie shame

Saw it tonight. Enjoyed it, but it definitely had issues.
-too much product placement which was really noticeable due to Snyder's lens
-didn't really feel that "the world" was in danger. Felt like it was all USA
-why the hell wouldn't Supes try to bring Zod into an UNpopulated area for their fight?
-sooo...all the buildings are empty, but some people just happen to be chilling in a museum?
-military rah rah rah!

He did. In seven seconds he took Zod 22,000 miles above the Earth to geostationary orbit. 11.4 million miles per hour or 1.7% the speed of light! At those speeds there's not such thing as "unpopulated area" the whole world is a split second away as Zod proved by bringing the fight right back to Metropolis.
Train station. Where else would you expect to see people evacuating a city but in its streets and public transportation?

Lex and Doomsday vs Superman.
Lex has to be on the same level of Red Son Lex. He gets humanity to see Superman as a bad thing. Basically shows how even if Superman has good intentions, he welcomes threats that always lead to destruction. Preaches this all while secretly using Doomsday as a weapon to back up his point.
The movie ends with Superman barely squeaking out the win against Doomsday, but obviously having no clue how to handle the Lex threat.
Final scene, Bruce Wayne introduces himself to Clark Kent and says something along the lines of "You're really strong, but kinda dumb. I'm here to help."
Perfectly setting part 3 up for Worlds Finest or some form of Justice League.
My money is on a 2016 release for Part 3.

Blu-ray.com is showing a Oct 15, 2013 (3 Months) release date. I wonder if they're going by the place holder date that amazon France was using and then it vanished.
I hope that's true, but I still think early/mid Nov. Vudu still has Dec 1st.

why the hell would Zod let himself get carried to an "unpopulated area" (where is that on the east coast by the way?)
and what's wrong with the military? what was so "rah-rah" about it? they were defending their country from alien invaders?
I mean, seriously now if you haven't complained about militaries in movies before, why start now when they were so subdued and thoroughly beaten by ONE kryptonian?
and the people weren't "chilling" in a museum, they were in a train station, where you watching the movie or not?
Replace Doomsday with Metallo and I am right with you. Save him for MoS3 or even JL.
Per ordered the blu ray on amazon and am really hoping for that October release.
Why was everyone in this movie so incredibly stupid? Costner's death scene was painful to watch considering he sacrificed himself to save a dog that the movie makes a point of reminding us is dead anyway in the present day, Zod inexplicably wanted to turn Earth into Krypton rather than have his people spend the 15 seconds it took for him to adapt to the atmosphere so he could continue to be a god, the high council of Krypton knowing full well that Zod believed the planet would destroy itself decided to punish him for treason by getting him off the planet where he believed he would be safe, Clark steals an alien ship right in front of the military who just...what...abandon chasing after it because it's too tough, the Kryptonians imprison Lois Lane in a room that inexplicably has a computer console in it, Jor-El explains to Lois how to stop them making sure that she will explain it to Clark rather than explaining it directly to him when they talk face to face five minutes later, Lois out of nowhere has a voice-over narration talking about how hard it is to find someone who's spent 33 years covering his tracks and then finds him within a matter of 4 steps...
I have a real problem with just about every single person in this film, but most of all Goyer for a mindblowingly idiotic script.
Almost forgot Superman's Zod-killing moment came mere seconds after the two of them likely killed thousands of people but Zod burning to death another three people was the straw that broke the camel's back for him.

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
Yep, spot on with how I felt about it. It was so silly in bad ways for a movie that tries so hard to be dead serious. Just a really strange idiotic script coupled with a cold monotone directing style. I'm still incredibly let down by how much worse MoS was than I expected, I so dearly wanted the best Superman movie of all time.
