Loved this Superman movie, but I did think the explanation for why all colonies failed was exceedingly lacking and unimaginative, just didn't make sense, was totally unplausible. Think about it, would we settle for similarly detailed explanation for why the dinosaurs died out? Of course not! Other than that, great!

Loved the previous superman movie too, but it did strike me as odd the huge inconsistency with the effect of cryptonyte, IE everything we have seen before compared to lifting a mountain with cryptonite shards poking out everywhare!!!!!

Perhaps that's down to the huge inconsistency with the spelling of 'Kryptonite' .... JAFOCHECK ....;)

I enjoyed Man of Steel, but I saw World War Z the following day and thought it was a better movie in a lot of ways. It's intense and breathless for  around 40 minutes. It slows down a little after that, but is still very, very good!

I didn't like the movie very much, it left me with a bad feeling.

The special effects were awesome of course and everything was decent.

But it reminded me more of a matrix movie than superman. Gloomy, dark.

And I don't like the recent attempts in movies to make heroes more "normal". Like in star trek, wolverine, james bond... come on people! They're (super)heroes!

And there's that example of the Walking Dead ... my god was that awful... trying to make zombie films more "believable". They aren't. They're supposed to be funny or imaginative and not turned into some soap.

But maybe it's just an attempt of the movie-makers to reach a larger audience.

And what I also didn't like, was the attempt to make superman even more special. He's one of a kind on the Earth, now he's also made something unique on his own planet. Even though he's already the only Kryptonian that survived. I think that's just artificial and way over the top.

The enemies in this movie weren't funny at all.

I also didn't like how superman associated with the army so much.

And I also agree with one of the earlier posters that this remake is just one too many, it's really tiresome to have to go through so many alternative universes again and again. X-men, and now superman. What's the point of all of that. There's so many stories that one can imagine, why the hell would you want to start all over again??? You can just as well create a new superhero while you're at it.

Or well... maybe I shouldn't think too much of it ... because the 1st superman movie was made about 40 years ago So in a way it was about time for a remake... but a remake like this... I dunno, it's a bit over the top, all of it.

I agree with this.

The best superman film since S2.The film felt more like a sci fi film than a superman film.

The challenge is how are going to follow it.The old lex luther and kryptonite stuff is not going to fly.

I liked Snyder's Watchmen myself.   The slowmo action thing kinda grows old but think the movie itself was pretty solid adaptation. 

Also 300   

Thish ish SPARTA!!!  

300 is the problem.  It was well done and successful, but he's seems unable to realize that the 300 style doesn't fit every single movie he touches.  The action in MoS was practically cartoonish and didn't fit the serious, Christopher Nolan's Batman style vibe they were trying to go for with the story and the acting.  

The two halves of the film were completely out of sync with what they were trying to convey. 

Oooh did i 'imagine' the incorrect imaginary spelling of an imaginary element???

*somewhere in Heaven John Lennon sheds a tear*

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table 

It's Number 36.

One day...when you study Chemistry...in high school .....you'll know them ....;)

So you like Wikipedia? Try this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kryptonite

Here is a quote: "Kryptonite is a fictional material from the Superman mythos"

Hows your high school 'Chemistry" now?

Imagine that? (Too obvious i know, but could not bear to pass it up)

Krypton ... it's still Number 36.

The spelling is correct...but nice try.

Both are derived from the Greek 'kryptos' meaning 'hidden'.

The Periodic Table existed before Wiki....and before computers, for that matter...;p

May 30, 1898: Krypton Discovered, Decades Before Superman Arrives

http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2008/05/dayintech_0530

Real life is sometimes more amazing than the most amazing fiction

In a few weeks researches discovered many new elements by heating some air ... those were the good old days ... nowadays they've to build a large collider to discover new elements (actually they've to create the new elements first in the process).
