Which Superman movie do you prefer Man of Steel or Superman Returns ?

[RIDDICK]

Actually the results indicate that it's really the other way around.

Eh? MoS got some long ass RED stroke while SR has a very nice BLUE rectangle. MoS failed even at such a simple task

Actually the results indicate that it's really the other way around. Apparently SR sucks even harder than MOS. Worse than the tornado movie? Way to go Singer. Loser.

I've got a real hankering to see SR again. I didn't like it last time, bu recently I'm into the silver age DC and Rouths Superman seemed more old Skool in that sense

It kinda was when I was paying attention. I came back to the thread and the MOS score seemed to have shot up.

I heard Gaspar hacked into the site & manipulated the votes.

Both fail in various accounts but I'd have to say that Superman Returns felt more like a Superman movie than Man of Steel did.

Exactly why I voted for Superman Returns.

I'll give this thread the amount of clarity and eloquence it deserves.

Routh sucked.
Spacey sucked.
Returns really really sucked. As a Superman movie, as a comic/hero movie, just as a movie. It's worse than most of the Marvel character movies and that's saying a lot, because there have been some real stinkers.

MoS had none of these faults and worked on all levels. Along with the Nolan Batman Trilogy, it's part of the four best "super" hero movies of all time (Batman isn't actually a superhero). If you want the top 5, you can include the original Reeve Superman in that list.

Returns was a vile attempt to crap on the two first Reeve films. It definitely fits in with Superman IV, and maybe III in terms of wasted time/celluloid. It hurts my brain thinking about how bad that movie was. John Travolta or Nic Cage would have made a better Superman, and Catherine Zeta Jones (picked this at random) a better Lex Luthor.

He's right though. Returns crapped on the first two Reeve movies. He forgot to mention that MoS crapped on the entirety of the Superman franchise.

I could only watch MOS once. No desire to ever see it again. It just didn't feel like a Superman movie to me. Felt like pure Sci-Fi. And Jonathan Kents death was ridiculous. I just hope BvS is a whole lot better.

Awesome gif toylion.

I've only watched MoS once as well. No interest in enduring that pain twice.

 

[devilof76]

I say that every time I cross paths with the Reeve movies.

i like the MOS version a little more, but mainly also, because i like the movie much more.

That said, i liked Brandon Routh as Superman. I wouldn't have mind if they casted him again for MOS. He wasen't the problem with Superman Returns IMO.
