Re: The Man of Steel
Words cannot describe how excited I am. Saw one of the latest trailers when to see Iron man 3 & as lame as it sounds, I got emotional. I was TOO excited to see it on a big screen. This movie is going to rule my life.

Re: The Man of Steel
The preview screening I saw was 2D. I have seen trailer 1 & 2 in Imax 3D and the 3D looked very poor, in a post-converted type of pop-up way. The only thing that looked truly 3D were the logo's! Don't know if that's an indication of the final quality or not, but I fear it is. Gonna check it out again on saturday in Imax 3D.

I will be the judge of that. None of the few reviews I have read say any such thing; I need to see for myself.

They do actually. It's been mentioned a bit. I think everyone expected a scene stealing performance from Shannon. It's not, but he is good.

Re: The Man of Steel
Surprised by all the love that the MoS score is getting. Now don't get me wrong nothing is going to touch Williams Score I know that. But everyone is talking about the track "Flight" So I gave it a listen. Without knowing the context of the film all I can say is that the first part before the piano sounded as much like a horror film (theme from 28 days later) then a superhero theme. And then the Big ending was "meh" to say the least. No "Superman" theme there at all.
I loved the simplicity of Zimmer's Batman theme and thought it captured batman's Heroic focus. But Zimmer is not the right guy IMO for a score like this. I was worried when they said he was first going to be doing it. He just lacks that certain something to give us a truly memorable theme. This theme is about as Memorable as Elfmans Spiderman theme... Nice music but nothing sticks or relates to the character.
Now when watching the film I could be wrong and the theme could take a life of it's own. But the theme makes me worry for the film itself as I think it sounds to dark and serious and that is what I worry about with the Superman film itself. Not that I want an Avengers/Iron Man type film. But I don't want the Dark Knight either. Superman is about hope and I "hope" we get that feeling in the film.
Anyways that is at least how I feel about the score upon first listen. I will give it some more chances. Perhaps it will grow on me.

Re: The Man of Steel
31 second mark for 28 days and 1:25 mark for MoS. Not saying they are exact... The feel is the same IMO. Perhaps flight is a mix of themes and that is Zod's. Sounds more villainess then heroic IMO.

Re: The Man of Steel
If you told me Iron Man 3 would be more entertaining and crowd pleasing than MOS, I wouldn't have believe you. This has all the angst of Superman Returns and The Dark Knight, just with video game action cranked up to 11.

I just browsed the IMDB message board for this film. Dear god, steer clear from there! No-one should be forced to have to try and comprehend why there are so many fanboys/trolls and what their purpose is, other than to look completely retarded.

Re: The Man of Steel
I never said that I hated it. I always check out the IMDB message board of a film I've just seen or am about to see, to see what other people thought of the film, find out general information that I missed or to sometimes make something clearer that I didn't entirely understand. I don't post there myself, only read. Unfortunately, it's reached the time where the board for Man of Steel is full of a select few people who make non-stop (quite literally too) posts and threads about how much this will suck.

Re: The Man of Steel
I do understand where they come from to be fair. It's more the people I hate rather than the page itself. Once a film has been released for a few months it's calm and generally accurate enough to read.
Currently though it's also unfortunately filled with people who take Rotten Tomatoes as a religion it seems and are saying that the current 67% means that "this movie is ****ed, you can't deny that fact."
I admit I sometimes base whether or not I'll watch a film on RT, but the % score means nothing. Die Hard 3 was deemed "rotten" by the site, and it's the 2nd best out of the five films.

Re: The Man of Steel
2nd best of the 3 films I think you mean. There hasn't been a Die Hard film since 1995

When I originally typed out the message I wrote "2nd best of the trilogy", but then I remembered about the other 2

I miss Die Hard. They should make a new one for old times sake.

There are 2 more Die Hard films? Does Bruce Willis know?

Haven't seen Die Hard 5 ... but I actually rather liked Die Hard 4. Thought it was quite a bit better than 2.

Re: The Man of Steel
In all honesty, I agree, 4 isn't that bad, especially when compared to 5. It might not had the original gritty feel the first 3 had, but it's a very decent watch. I can easily sit through it again. The latest one is barely worth the one watch, it's just so bad.
Bruce Willis knows about the 2, but unfortunately John McClane only knows about one of them.
