Man of Steel (SPOILERS)

[jye4ever]

I would have felt better about Reynolds coming in after the credits than Bale. Would have cheapened the Nolan Bat-films to be associated with this one.

Can't get anymore cheap than Bane/Talia.

Although GL is a close second.

 

[Boba Ben]

I would have been sad if that happened after the credits. Nolan Batman doesn't seem to fit in the same world as this movie for me personally.

I guess hes just universally loved, but I was watching TDKR on TV the other night and everytime JGL opened his mouth I had the urge to mute the TV. Between the delivery and just some of the asinine lines he had, it gets harder to watch every viewing.

no way.........

GL is like SM3.

A poor movie but has the potential with it's cast for a great movie (SM2)

Imo they shouldn't reboot but instead do a sequel with better writers and a better villain.

It can be good with the current cast.

WB/DC have really cornered themselves into a cinematic conundrum.

A week in the office at WB/DC:

Monday: Bale is Batman
Tuesday: Bale is not Batman
Wednesday: Bale is Batman
Thursday: Bale is not Batman
Friday: Bale is Batman

It really doesn't. It's got touches of Nolan/Goyer of course, but despite quibbles folks have about Dark Knight Rises (myself included) it had a genuine emotional core. Man of Steel is bombastic and shallow in the same way that Green Lantern was, so they make more sense together.

Really? TDKR had an emotional core? I don't think so. Honestly, the only Nolam Batman film that can stand quality wise with MoS is TDK IMO.

Yeah, probably going to look like that at Marvel someday if RDJ washes his hands with them.

GTFO. TDK is a genuinely good movie. MOS is a noisy, fun if you like that sort of thing, video game flick, played completely straight so people think it's high art.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

MOS was fun and frenetic actionfest at the end, the rest of the movie was emotion-fuelled storytelling

In your severely limited opinion.

This looks like he should be dancing with Tom Hanks in Big.

Good for you.

People love it, great!

But it doesn't match TDK on any level. TDK was tremendous with critics, audiences, and actually had legs. People either love or hate MOS, and it's doing fine at the box office, but not getting anywhere near TDK's word of mouth.

There's a reason for that.

 

[Boba Ben]

I loved Man of Steel. I enjoyed the Nolan Batman movies. Begins was the best of the three in my opinion. I just don't think the two characters as they were presented would mesh very well. I usually hate when they reboot a franchise over and over, but I really think if they're going to do the Justice League build up like Avengers, a rebooted Batman that's a little less grounded in gritty reality would fit better.

That is your opinion. Many others feel the exact opposite, and what makes their opinion any less valid that yours? See what I'm saying?

That's a fair point, but doesn't make MOS any less good. There are lots of examples of great movies that do not light up the box office or get universal acclaim but are underated gems.
