116581, Agree on the kiss (spoilers)
Posted by OldPro, Sat Jun-15-13 03:02 AM
I've seen some reviews complaining about the lack of a romance.. i love the fact it was de-emphasized and really wish it had just been been left to the one hand hold on the ship. The scope of everything is so epic that there really is no time to be getting all lovie-dovey and shit.. this the damn Apocalypse not date night.

Disagree on Zod not seeming like a threat or having much to do.. I thought he damn near stole the movie. He's not supposed to be very 3 dimensional character in the first place.. it's made very clear in the movie that Kryptonians are bred for their jobs and Zod's is of a single purpose. Shannon took that and performed it with an almost religious conviction.. loved his performance every bit had much as HL's Joker, albeit in a different way. Zod and his female side kick were the best one two punch villain combo ever.

And I never really had trouble following the action.. that was pretty much what I've been waiting for super hero fights to look like since the comic craze began. I never thought I'd see a mainstream hero flick allowed to be that violent.. let alone superman. But got damn was it glorious.
