RATE or REVIEW The Last Movie You Watched.

MOS 8.5/10 I would have given it a 9 on visuals and they way they told the story but I knocked it down a .5 point due to the unlimited amount of buildings Kal-El and Zod flew through....

Thats actually the very film and scene I have in mind whenever I say 'I concur'

 

[the angry orc]

American Psycho...8/10

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

Man of Steel...

I don't like to rate movies as we all know it's x/5 or x/10 ... or whatever... so I won't bother.

All I know is this...

It made me like the franchise again and gave me hope for the direction of the character.

I wanted to arrange to watch it again to pick up everything I missed !

And most important to me... It spurred a non-stop discussion with my teenage son the entire ride home.

Some key points I enjoyed:

Spoiler

Not seeing Jor-el go out like a punk. Bad *** !

Seeing Superman's lack of finesse in his fighting skills. You could see he is new to this even with all the cells in his body. He tackles a lot giving way to what we know of his love for football

J. Kent died showing Clark he didn't just talk the talk... showing us his true greatness as a father, as conflicted as he was in what he had to do to keep Clark safe

Great spoilers for thrown in for the entire DC universe.

When you thought it was over... it wasn't... What a rush !

Man Of Steel: 9/10

 

[Darth Cruel]

The Love Child of Freddy Mercury and John Travolta saves the Earth from an Alien Invasion After Making A Guest Appearance On Deadliest Catch...errr...I mean...Man of Steel...7/10.


Excellent movie. From time-to-time, during the movie, I was actually reminded that it was supposed to be a Superman movie. But I would have liked it a lot even if it wasn't.


Though, as I mentioned in the MOS thread...I still liked the last guy that played Superman better.


Best line in the movie..."On Earth, it's an S."

 

[CriterionCollector]

I want to see MOS again based solely on the fights. It was sweet how quickly they moved. It was like watching combos in Street Fighter.

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters - 8.5/10

Avoided this movie at the theaters and at redbox for the longest time. Just looked kinda stupid. Glad i watched this movie. It just plain fun to watch in the same way I like Feast.

 

[Ultron-7]

MoS - a perfect return to the big screen for Superman - 10/10

A Flash movie with those effects has to happen now!

 

[DBOK]

MoS- 5/10 Not a Superman movie.

 

[ZsaszSays]

This Is 40 3/10

Over 2 hours of crappppp.

 

[wanderlai]

The MoS Deadliest Catch scene...I had my hope up to see Sig or the Hillstrands...Sig would have been a better Zod than that guy who looked like he needed to sneeze or smelled a rotten fart all the time.

Superman Returns - *sigh* - 5/10

It gets those points for using the Williams theme, the plane rescue and stadium bit, the kryptonite beating from Lex (much more effecting than anything in MOS), some good rescues, the way they incorporated Brando Jor El stuff and an overall nice visual aesthetic.

Unfortunately, overall its still boring as ****, with a flat uninspired script, wierdly edited and oddly quiet in so many scenes. I don't know if it was supposed to be dramatic silence but it added to the boredom factor. Lois sucks and so does the kid and the whole idea of him. Cavill is probably better as Superman than Routh was - Routh is a bit too boyish both in his looks and his voice tbh.


Man of Steel didn't quite cut it for me either (I rated it a 6) but hopefully some more traditional Superman elements will come into play in the sequel. Every criticism that there's been I pretty much agree with but, as I've said a lot over the past few days, if it merely had the Williams theme I reckon I would have enjoyed it a lot more. Don't give me it wouldn't fit. The Bond theme can be found in the most stupid and ridiculous of the Moore films and the grittiest and most realistic of the Craig films. You can't ground Superman in reality - he's innately absurd and fantastical, and theres nothing wrong with that, so give him back the music he deserves.

Anyway I said earlier I'd shut up about that but having watched Superman Returns again I couldn't help myself just now.

Not really totally defending it...I agree with your score, and review...but wait a while, and just watch it as a film. Not as a Superman movie. It's kinda alright. But as a superhero summer flick.....

Valhalla Rising - 7.5/10

 

[GasparZizou]

Man of Steel 10/10.

**** all those pompous critics trying to make a name for themselves.

It's baffling how they praised the Avengers and bashed MoS.

 

[uscmhicks]

Silent Hill Revelations - 3.5/10

My Brother the Devil - 7/10 - imdb

The Hunt - 7/10 - imdb

The last two are both well worth a watch.

Feel exactly the same way on both movies.
