You Want Superman Revamp? [Also the Man of Steel (2013) thread]

Well, sure! I guess, yes, that approach probably isn't advisable for general audiences, but for life-long comic fans it's probably like sinking into a warm bath.

(If only they would occasionally have a '*See Arrow Season 4, Episode 15' text box pop up, the experience would be complete.)

This was not a good movie. But Superman learning to fly was fun, and I appreciated not being asked to laugh every thirty seconds.

It's possible that my low expectations helped out. I didn't even mind Superman shouting "noooo" while disappearing into skull-quicksand.

still nothing that tops Superman destroying dick bar patron's semi-truck off-screen and then chucking it on top of a telephone pole and nobody questioning it, like sometimes you find shoes on top of telephone poles, sometimes you find wrecked semi-trucks, nothing to see here folks

i was genuinely surprised by how great this movie was and will be arguing about it forever i guess

I'm on Brad's side, I find a lot of the criticism of this movie weird, as if Superman specifically is a sacrosanct character that can only be portrayed one way.

i just had a problem with Snyder's directorial style and storytelling.

Superman "killing" someone didn't really bother me so much. he should kill more people IMO

This is really good on that

i did appreciate that the action sequences that looked like handheld footage from a natural disaster. And Superman and Zod punching each other at Mach 3. And Jor-El was great. There was a lot to like, I just didn't think the end worked at all.
