Saw it on the release date, good but not as good as the batman movies imo.

In 3-4/10 tier, not bad, the part in krypton was the best.



Fuck post credit scenes



Paradox m8?

3-4 out of 10?

I'm dissapoint

Between meh and kind of allright. Drama parts were mostly pretty bland and had some large unpolished content. Snyder doing Michael Bay. Got sometimes soft spot for crap, this could have been something, but now it was something just here and there.

I must say, I was a little disappointed. Plot holes aside, it feels to me like they had to fit way too much sci-fi thriller type things, and after all that there was not enough room for any good writing. I expected the supernatural, of course, much more than from a Batman movie. But it should be grounded in reality to some extent, in order to touch on real issues and how they would be affected by the presence of a Superman. Putting in the whole Krypton intro, the Zod invasion, and all the impacts of the alien technology was just too much for a single Superman. In fact, it feels like the flashbacks were pointless because they had no real dynamic way of tying into Superman's present issues. If the present-day plot was a little more grounded in reality, they might have had more room for that. I say they could have used the flashbacks in this movie, and a villain like Lex Luthor. He'd have more room in this movie to face real world issues, which would be a way to tie his flashbacks into his present day scenario. Then use the sequel for the Krypton intro and Zod, when Superman already made his place in the world. Having both "origin stories" (life flashbacks and Krypton intro) was too much IMO, and made the movie too cluttered.

There were some weird random uninspired attempts to have emotional impact. For example (spoilers ahead btw), why did they put so much emphasis on the intern trapped underneath the rubble? They didn't take a second at all to develop her character (I think she was introduced in that scene), yet that's a segment they panned to repeatedly in order to try and help us feel the tension that Morpheus felt. They failed on that front, IMO.

It's strange how conflicted Superman was with killing Zod at the end, when he basically already had a ton of blood on his hands. It seems like he put no effort in trying to steer the fight away from civilian zones, and hundreds of people must have died just from the sheer damage they were causing. They blew up the entire ISS for crying out loud! There's a bunch of people working on that.

This may be purely a matter of personal taste, but does anyone ever enjoy those flying-around-Superman fights? Like the one in Matrix 3 with Neo vs Smith in the abandoned Earth, or the Cloud vs Sephiroth one in Advent Children. I have never once been entertained by one of those, and I can't personally fathom why people insist on doing those. I feel no tension at all in those kinds of scenes, even when the fate of the world is involved (which it often is in those kinds of fights). I don't understand who has the upper hand, or what particularly the hero is struggling with to gain an advantage in the fight, or anything like that. It's just two objects colliding with each other over and over again, and I'm waiting to hear the results of the winner afterwards. It has about as much tension involved as missing the big game and hearing the score afterwards, IMO.

rofl remember telling you kids this film wont be anything special... gg

That was a bit weird but I guess they wanted to make that kind of scene with random people, to show how massive action and destruction affects the people on root and thought might as well use these then. If the extended cut of this is four hours this might feel more natural.

Wasn't he emotional because he just killed the last one of his species

Imo it had some interesting moments. Them going high and camera angle playing with gravitylesness.



...lol

^
he is their species o.O

i dont see why most of you "critics" even go see scifi films, its like you see its bad, hardly enjoy the genre and then go see it.
Walk out disappointed.

How dense must you be?
i dont find enjoyment if chick flicks or most dramas ( by this i mean your average yearly lineup) so i dont pay money to see them.

I enjoy both sci-fi and superhero movies. I still expect them to have good writing. Your genre should never excuse you from writing well.

Spoiler**

I thought the ending was hilarious...guy asks the intern out after having saved her life (if he walked away she wouldn't have gotten out)...and she says no LMAO
