"Man of Steel (Snyder, 2013)"


          

Wassup niggas!!!

I hope all y'all are feeling well and shit.

So my embargo is done and I saw it for the third (and definitely last) time today.

So what I love is the small character moments in this film more than the action pieces sans the opening shit on Krypton. That shit was nice to see how Clark as a man reacts to dickheads and can't do anything about it.

The opening on Krypton is to me the best part of the film. I thought the handheld style worked best during this sequence and all times watching it was the most exciting part of the film.

The structure has the broken up, fragmented flashback and present day structure like Batman Begins and it doesn't really work that well in this film cause it's more fractured and I feel crucial parts of Clark's journey are missing. Such as when did he decide to leave and start his journey? How did he know the ship would be in ice?

But yea, this is solid overall and dope minus some dialogue and and real cheesy moments. This has really nowhere to go but up. Only things that suck are losing Michael Shannon and Russell Crowe (I swear this nigga has been killing it in genre fare rather than the "thespian" shit he loves doing).

This how I'd rate it
1. Superman The Movie
2. Man of Steel
3. Superman II

I'll post more later yo.

Jun 14th 2013
16
                It was a huge moment/misstep (SPOILER)
Jun 14th 2013
17
                     A jarring moment for sure
Jun 14th 2013
18
                     Terence Stamp's Zod was better overall.

Jun 14th 2013
26
                          i get what you're saying, but i liked the change
Jun 14th 2013
38
                          And that's a valid point
Jun 14th 2013
39
                          Zod was going to burn those humans alive
Jun 15th 2013
69
                               That's that good binary thinking
Jun 15th 2013
72
                                    I don't even know what that means

Jun 14th 2013
22
I think Fish & the rest of the DP crew know that Clark is Supes
Jun 14th 2013
24
      I didn't get that. I think only Lois does.
Jun 14th 2013
27
           Gonna need @ least a lil more effort on the "disguise" in the sequel
Jun 14th 2013
29
                Did Perry and them even meet Supes?
Jun 14th 2013
31
                I thought so but maybe not
Jun 14th 2013
33
                why bother with a secret identity
Jun 14th 2013
37
                     valid point
Jun 14th 2013
41
                          The 'we're cool but you don't control me' angle was dope

Jun 14th 2013
35

Jun 14th 2013
36
      no it doesn't
Jun 15th 2013
84
           No I meant the Kryptonian elements harming Superman
Jun 15th 2013
86
                I see it as being totally different from green K in a story aspect
Jun 15th 2013
88
                     Right. Plus it's sort of this remnant of his home world
Jun 16th 2013

Does the 3D add or is it just as good 2D
Jun 14th 2013
32
I saw it in 2D, so the 3D people can correct me if I'm wrong...

No. Supes sealed himself inside of a chamber ....

At least it was *interesting*
Jun 15th 2013

Well, in the Donner version...
Jun 15th 2013

This is why alot of movie critics should not be listened to

Worse than 'Dark Knight Rises'. A trite, dumb shitfest.
Jun 17th 2013
101
'Dark Knight Rises'. was an A grade..Supes is B/B-
Jun 17th 2013
102
      I'd say Man of Steel C/C+, DKRises D+
Jun 17th 2013
104
           TDKR earned the right to suck. MOS sucked from JUMP.
Jun 17th 2013
105
           In terms of a franchise, I could see that.
Jun 17th 2013
108
           log off Honky
Jun 17th 2013
106
                Rises getting an A is laughable
Jun 17th 2013
107
                     it sure doesnt get a D..ok lets say B/B- then
Jun 17th 2013
112
                          Dark Knight Rises is a C-minus on the its best day. Horrid movie.
Jun 17th 2013
116
                               OE dont start
Jun 17th 2013

decent origin film but the Lois/Clark relationship was so NOT earned
Jun 17th 2013
103
The real question is: what Supes/Lois relationship?
Jun 17th 2013
109
      Seriously.
Jun 17th 2013
110
      You guys are being too nice. Lois Lane just sucked.

           RE: You guys are being too nice. Lois Lane just sucked.

I don't like Superman, but I liked this movie.
Jun 17th 2013
131
That last fight was on some Dragonball Z shit.
Jun 17th 2013
132
yeah she stole the show. actually gives me hope for Wonder Woman.
Jun 17th 2013
136
Yup, I felt like I was watching a live action DBZ. Loved it.
Jun 18th 2013
139
This movie further heightened my disdain for film criticism.
Jun 18th 2013
138
Movie made me appreciate critics. I should have listened to them.
Jun 18th 2013
140
I'll fucking clap to all of this. Hard.
Jun 18th 2013
141
nerds will bitch about anything.
Jun 18th 2013
142
The "there's no other way to end it" argument holds no water.
Jun 18th 2013
146
      But what's *wrong* with that position?
Jun 18th 2013
147
           Nothing wrong from a storytelling perspective.
Jun 18th 2013
148
                I dunno.. I've dealt with some death in the last year
Jun 18th 2013
150
                     No doubt it rings true in real life...
Jun 18th 2013
151
                          Yeah, I'm willing to concede a bit of bias on that particular note.
Jun 18th 2013
152
                               The movie sucked rabbit dick. Be mad, bro.
Jun 18th 2013
154
                                    It sharted all over Night Dogg's last 5 movies and pissed on the rest
Jun 18th 2013
155
                                         Dude. This movie sucking is just one of those things. Its all good.
Jun 18th 2013
160
totally agree with all of this
Jun 18th 2013
143
So, we can't break down a movie anymore and critize the problems?
Jun 18th 2013
144
Because that's clearly what I was getting at
Jun 18th 2013
145
      The movie was ass, and nobody with self esteem likes it. Move on.
Jun 18th 2013
153
      I stand corrected:This is the last response you'll get.
Jun 18th 2013
156
           The movie was actually a steaming pile of shit, though. Its a fact.
Jun 18th 2013
159
      How would it spur him to leave?
Jun 18th 2013
157
           Nope. What makes you think he left to help people?
Jun 18th 2013
158
                He's finding himself while hiding from people?
Jun 18th 2013
161
                     Please, eplain how find yourself and hiding is mutually exclusive.
Jun 18th 2013
162
                          So Ma Kent's an afterthought
Jun 18th 2013

Jun 19th 2013

                               Oh lord. I'm rolling my eyes and laughing at this abandonment angle.
Jun 19th 2013
167
                               Now you're arguing a contradictory point
Jun 19th 2013
174
                                    All the points you've made are one I agree with unfortantely
Jun 19th 2013
176
                                    I am right, you are wrong, so is Honky, and it's not bullshit. Cry about...
Jun 19th 2013

Jun 19th 2013

                                              Who said anything about automatic? I broke it down.
Jun 19th 2013

                                              RE: See this is why arguments break out with you all the time.
Jun 19th 2013
