Which reboot did it better?

[OSCORP]

Both were kinda Mediocre IMO. Both sequels are what i'm looking at to see some meat and potatoes.


I liked Andrew's PP/SM quite a bit. I also liked Henry's Superman. Andrew didn't really have big shoes to fill, Henry on the other hand had to fill in for CR.

Both films were origin again, told in a different way. That said, i have to give it to ASM just because i felt it had more charm/chemistry and felt a bit more for the characters. Superman the Movie is still my Superman movie, and SM2 is the best Spider-Man movie.

All in all both were just OK. And the sequels will decide the franchise's future.

I like them both. Depends more on which origin story you like more really

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

They both were lacking

I was really disappointed by MOS, but even so, it was miles better!

ASM is, I think, the first movie in my life I couldn't watch through. I had to stop after the sewer encounter because I couldn't take it more.

Actually, I was gonna buy the HT fig but the movie was enough to make me save the money for another fig!

I wonder which Celtic would vote for, he hates both

 

[SnakeDoctor]

Man of Steel. ASM was way too soon, way too similar ... and not quite as good as its predecessor.

MOS. At least it wasn't a complete rehash of a average flick.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Damn, Batmans reboot will be just 3 years after his last movie

It's sad, but as much as I disliked ******-Parker Witwicky and the blatant Raimi ripoff (despite being touted as something we've never seen before), overall, that film was still truer to the key aspects of Spider-Man than Man of Steel's Hope Man was to Superman.

Chose ASM, though I thoroughly enjoyed both. You know, some times I honestly think some of you guys truly believe that watching a movie you don't like is literally equally as painful as having a pair of scissors thrust into your eyeballs while simultaneously being kicked in the groin by a steel-toed boot. At the end of the day, they are just movies.

No less than you sitting down to a bowl of chicken broth and a celery stalk thinking it's the "BESTUST CHEEKAN NOODAL SOOP EVARRRRRRRRR!"

Tough one, both were let-downs. At least MOS was different I guess and therefore not utterly pointless in its objective of 'rebooting' like ASM was. Although I actually would have preferred had MOS not been so different as to no longer feel like the correct tone for that character.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Yeah - I'll go with TAS. I just enjoyed it a HELL of a lot more than Cavillman.

Sure - it was less than perfect, but I didn't leave the theatre shaking my head either.

[crows]

well... at least Spiderman didn't destroy a city and killed thousands of people in the process... just saying...

I say ASM.

You're the mod, check his IP.

Like others are saying, they were both pretty average, and I at least respect Man of Steel for trying to do something different (even though "different" in this case wasn't really "interesting," "creative," or even "appropriate" to my eyes--more pandering to some perceived audience base). Having said that, I prefer Spider-Man because as Nam says, at least he felt really true to the character and story. Maybe that movie was redundant, but to me, being redundant and doing a character proper justice is better than being fairly novel and crapping on a franchise I care about.

I actually wasn't too surprised with either though, because I went in with expectations that were pretty much met. Particularly with MOS, where Snyder gave me what I figured he would. The scene Spidey had with the carjacker was great. I wish we got to see more of that sort of thing.

"Hope Man"

LOL

But yeah, it's gonna be all about the sequels with these two.
