Man of Steel (SPOILERS)

[Dr.Mirakle32]

It all boils down to taste. I showed SUPERMAN today to a buddy of mine who had NEVER seen it before, and he enjoyed it. Saw MOS afterwards, and he said it was depressing and not as good as THE DARK KNIGHT movies.

Classics are classics for a reason.

 

[jye4ever]

You're actually not giving me anything, just "tha peeplez says these are classics, so take them and shudup"

Not true, he specifically said that they resonated with people hence their long standing reputation.

That's why I sad what I said in quotation marks and italic.

The first time I saw Superman The Motion Picture was after I saw Superman Returns.

And I realized why Superman Returns blew. So no. I did not grow up with those movies. I've seen then only a handful of times.

That doesn't really add anything to the discussion does it?

I don't remember much of S returns, I don't even remember if I liked it.

But I did remember S1&2 when I saw MoS and I liked MoS better, in almost every way.

Some might say that STM is remembered not because of quality, but because it has the luck of being the first large budget Superman movie.

I vote because of quality.

Almost everybody that has seen MoS with me, 2 of them comic book fans said that they liked MoS better, my gf didn't like it cause she hates explosions and cgi altogether, she's a hipster

Yes, classics are classics for a reason, but if I don't like a movie I couldn't care less what that reason is, when in this case IMO is nothing but nostalgia.

Sure it has quality for it's time, and like I said the Clark parts are nothing but gold and I sure hope in MoS2 Cavill can bring half of the charm Reeve had as Clark.

But it's also because it was the 1st.

Jye, what's with the sudden flip-flopping? I'm off the board for a day and now you're one of our MOS haters. Did Celtic put rohypnol in your drink or something?

 

[jye4ever]

Don't get me wrong, i'm all for new Superman movies.

But give Cavill more scenes like the interrogation room scene, that was well done.

I agree, I'd like to see more adult Clark, hopefully in MoS2 will have more, but for some reason I doubt it will be a dorky Clark, not even in the comics Clark is dorky anymore, which is a shame.

Kneel before Celtic.



Celtic!

Nolan and Goyer HATE the notion of dorky Clark.

George Reeves never played Clark as a dork.

I actually think Clark should wear a hat again. It at least makes the "disguise" a tad more plausible.

But Reeve, without the s, did, and it was a joy to watch.

This is why the Fedora/suit combo needs to make a comeback. Clark Kent should wear a Fedora, but Clark Kent should NOT be a hipster.

I've seen it 5 x (i'm done), I'm happy to have contributed to one of your collectibles.

Yeah, i'm flipping my pancake.

I was clouded by the flying, beautiful blowing cape, Faora's eyes, accent and destruction.

It usually takes 3-5 viewings for movies i'm on a fence with for me to figure out my true feelings for it.

BB/TDK/IM1/Thor/Avengers first viewings, loved them for how it immediately moved me, no explanations or confirmations from a forum was required.

Yeah, but modern day. Like this,

Petah shouldn't be the only hipster superhero.
