That's cause they need Best Nolan on this, not Chris Nolan.
Maybe Jonah was too busy with Person of Interest (ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS ON TV BTW), but they should get him to take a look at the script for MoS2.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world hed rather have. The problem is, Dwyanes not a woman.
I'm gonna ask a question that's spoiler tagged and I want someone who knows if I'm guessing right about this thing that happens that is dividing people/huge superman fans to please answer me back either via pm or spoiler tagged in here without quoting my post...
I could be way off with my question and if I am, I don't want to know what the real thing is.
Does Superman kill a villain? cause if so, it's happened before in the comics back in the days just not in any movies and I have no problems with that

Yes matrix,
Some fans didn't like it then either, i just think thats a line for some people
he does

i have no issues with that... I have an issue with what apparently happens during the tornado scene..
Clark lets his dad die cause his dad pleads with him not to show his powers in front of others. What does this make Clark? a complete deuchebag, won't save his own dad cause of the fear that everyone will find out who he is, seriously?

I'm cool with that too, if that's the case. In fact... I think I may prefer it...

K well as a die hard Superman fan that knows a lot about his history, it doesn't bother me one bit. Thanks for the answer.

holy shit that's really stupid. i dunno why i highlighted that but it doesn't make any sense.

This is semantics, and nothing more
Douchebag.
Is how you spell it. And I kind of liked that scene. It certainly fits thematically.
In fact, my only problem with that scene was that (not really a spoiler, but just in case)
everyone ran to get under the overpass, and this was presented as the thing to do in such situations, which it most certainly isn't.
i haven't seen it but reviews and spoilers have alluded to this scene but i don't know how it goes down exactly...
that sounds bad
yeah but seriously?
Felt fine in the flow of the film and serves another purpose plot-wise.

It also sounds like what bothers people aboit the end is that it doesnt sound like he had to do what he did. I've seen people list other courses of action he had available.
Neither Chris nor Snyder wrote this.

What was Goyer's purpose during the TDK films? Did Jonah and Goyer co-write them or what? Did he just spout ideas?

Seriously. Understand, though, that (actual spoiler)
Pa Kent is pleading with Clark as this is happening. So Clark has only a split second to decide whether to follow his dad's instructions or not. Because of that, Clark's inaction can be viewed as the result of simply not coming to a decision yet, rather than as the result of deciding to follow his father's pleas. He certainly seems torn up about it.
Is that good or bad.
I have no problems with that scene. You guys just gotta see the movie.
Remember that this is the same dad who said he shouldn't save the other children in the bus because his powers will get discovered.
actually not that big of a deal for me but it's that goyer can come up with this just to be different but come on
superman would never let his dad die just to keep his identity a secret; how many here would do this? 1/100?
fair point..
Don't get me wrong, I love you guys (kinda), but this is starting to read like a black ops document.
Johnathan has spent years nailing it into Clark's head that he cannot reveal himself. This goes beyond just a basic father/son relationship.
I haven't seen it, but the idea that this happens doesn't seem out of place at all. In fact it makes pretty good sense.

Sorry that's my fault for starting this tonight. I just didn't want to enter the spoiler thread since I was just taking a guess and wont see it till next Thursday. I should have just pm'ed someone first, but I figured I'd get a quicker reply here.
I didn't mean to cause black ops 2 in here again lol
Good. Very damn good.

Interesting article on CriticWire about how Superman Returns, entitled "How Hit Movies Become Flops."
Examines how a movie that was pretty universally well reviewed shortly after it came out is thought of as a failure. And how most people are taking the opportunity to rewatch it just before Man of Steel, and giving it some extra thought beyond the intial backlash.
Speaking of backlash: There's an interesting anecdote about David Poland, who was the first reviewer to give it a serious pan at the time, and the reaction he got for doing so.

He co-wrote the BB screenplay with one of the Nolans (imdb says Chris), while the Nolans wrote the sequels with Goyer just contributing ideas.
Yeah, it's one of those things. I'm usually pretty critical, but that scene didn't really bug me.
OK, before I go over to the spoilers thread, the fight scenes in this movie were fantastic and frequent. Pacing was good and it didn't get too mired in exposition
(though what was there was not great)

Loved the movie! I feel it's the Superman movie I've always wanted to see. Amazing action. I'll probably see it again this weekend.
We're onto you Bane, you just like anything without batman.

I don't want to sound over the top, and I usually am quite critical but I am in love with this movie. Too tired to formulate proper thoughts but Cavill nailed it, Shannon was a truly fearsome and emotionally rich villain and goddamn, Faora is the coolest evil chick ever in a freaking action flick. Seriously. Mad chills watching this. And DAT OST.
Hey guys I need to ask again. I know this might sound like a silly question, but my 5 year old nephew just called me begging me to take him to watch this movie. I have not seen him in months and his parents taken him to seen other pg 13 movies. His mom dont give a crap and taken him to see stuff like avenger, iron man 3, etc.
For those that saw it, any parts of the movie too much for a kid his age? I am sure if I dont take him, his mom will later on anyways lol. Anyways any thing I should be wary about like too much gore, foul lang etc?

Haven't seen it myself but it's a PG-13 movie, so it can't really be gorey and legally cannot swear more than, like, twice. :lol
