Is it just me you're keeping tabs on?

Buddy I just replied to your comment on a thread i visit often .

MoS is a great film, even with it's bad choices. It's certainly the best of his DC stuff by a mile.

imho

Yea it’s not a terrible movie just not a very good one imo. The fighting was amazing it’s just everything else wasnt done well at all.

You would say the casting, the acting, the suit/s, the FX, and score weren't well done?

For me, it's the characterisations that were off, some more than others.

All top notch! Although, I never did like Amy Adams as Lois.

Suits were fine. Acting was so so , score… eh. Again it wasn’t a bad movie just not very good but the fighting was absolutely amazing

I've never seen someone not rate/dislike the Man of Steel score. That's a new one.

They've found a way of making the Superman suit look better.

From that shot it looks like he's some captain of a ship; just not from this movie.

Everything you mention is very good, Zimmer's music is fantastic, and yet MOS is not a very great film for me, there are lots of things that I find absurd in the script, and yet Goyer and even Nolan are credited as screenwriters, for the casting, Henry Cavill seems like a nice guy, in life, he has the physique of Superman, but without being bad, I am not blown away by his acting, in the scene where Zod takes off his armor, he is completely outmatched by Michael Shannon's acting.

If there had been a sequel to MOS we would have really been able to judge. But Henri Cavill has never had big success in the cinema in the main role, maybe he was unlucky, maybe he chose his roles badly, his last film ""Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare" have bombed at the box office.

That's why I asked when Ironwez said the only thing well done was the fighting. The majority of the casting and acting is great! Shannon is a perfect example.

What is absurd about it?

My possible HT figure count from this movie continues to drop off. So far, Mr Terrific is the only possible for me.

It's nice to Superman being Superman-ly.

 

[ironwez20]

Sometimes I wonder about you .

 

[jye4ever]

The cape is the only good thing about that costume.

That Borat narrator is wrong about Gardner’s hair being “bery nice” lol

 

[VanHelscwing]

This gets worse and worse..

I can actually see the Superman suit working better in figure form than it does on screen, since it would probably be more form fitted.
