at this guy's irrational Nolan hatred, as if Nolan was completely responsible for everything in this movie.
red letter media pretty much sums it up:

Wasn't he a little on an epic proportion in the Dark Knight Rises thread? I thought I remember someone having an obsessive hatred for Christopher Nolan
He was responsible for the story and was producer. They used his name a lot while promoting this film so I definitely thinks he deserves part of the blame.
Im sure by now youve had a chance to see Dark Knight Rises a second time and are probably aware that (to borrow from Kevin Smith) you could drive a truck through the plot holes in that film.
That being said, I dont think Nolan is a bad DIRECTOR. The scenes are filmed well and the acting is decent enough. Its his writing thats ty. He should let the writers write and the directors direct (and NO, his BROTHER doesnt count as a real writer).
Hes not the only director who thinks that he can write when he cant.
James Cameron embarrassed himself with Avatar but Im sure you liked that too.
Getting back to THIS film, I think another problem is they seem almost embarrassed by Superman nostalgia.
I heard a story on NPR about a woman who bought her first house and painted her bedroom "superman blue". Interesting that these guys decided that in order for superman to be "cool", they had to make his costume the darkest shade possible that could still be considered "blue".
I was totally confused about supermans scream when he broke Zods neck. My brother told me "it was because he just killed the last of his kind" and i bought that might be true until i watched the red letter media review in which they speculated it was because he had to kill someone (and superman doesnt do that). They hadnt established that Superman was against killing anyone (even bad guys) and it seems stupid that he would be against kiiling Zod considering they had both just destroyed metropolis during their over-the-top fight scene.
Just a really bad script. I give props to Cavil for doing his best (again, much better than Routh) but he didnt have much to work with.
You didn't give him "part" of the blame, though. If anything, the blame should be given to Goyer and Snyder first and foremost, if you didn't like the movie.
I already saw the movie multiple times before we even had a discussion about it.Im sure by now youve had a chance to see Dark Knight Rises a second time and are probably aware that (to borrow from Kevin Smith) you could drive a truck through the plot holes in that film.
My review of this movie. Cheesy
Now this is a Superman fanlol
Eh, I enjoy pretty much every superhero adaptation on some level, but this was a little disappointing. I was surprised at how little humor there was in it. Sure there didn't have to be super breath blowing ice cream in the face gags, but the two or three attempts at humor were pretty awful (Col. Swanwick's 19-year old captain aide saying he's hot). Shaky cameras in every got damn scene made me think they couldn't afford anything but handhelds after the CGI budget. Fake zooms and lens flares. As was mentioned before, 3D is not necessary.
(probably spoilers ahead)
Worst...Jonathon Kent...death...EVER. At least duck and cover, dumbass.
Why does every writer have a huge bug up his ass about the S meaning something other than Superman? Just have him slap it on the suit later after he gets his name.
Broken neck? After all that ing beating without a scratch he can get his neck broken?
If you have to make Superdude into Jesus, it isn't really necessary to set up the cross pose by saying he can save everyone. We get it.
My big Easter egg was seeing Emil from Smallville early in the movie.
Speaking of Smallville, seeing Supes fly up into the Kraken--er, World Engine and punch it in the was almost exactly like the tv finale when he flew up into Darkseid and punched him in the .
If you just fell a few thousand feet out of a plane and witnessed the destruction of your hometown with the attendant thousands of deaths, is the first thing you really want to do making out with an alien in front of your boss?
CGI Zod with real head before the final battle was just odd. Movements looked a couple of generations old.
Storywise it's hard to think they didn't shoot their wad too early for a sequel. The Reeve series started with a ridiculous real estate scam (Otisburg?) but at least it could build from there. Really, where do you go after having two giant spiders double team hate the earth? The Avengers may have a similar problem.
The Daily Planet has the worst background checking system in the world, OTOH it has the most efficient structural repair team in the world.
Superman is a blabbermouth. Tells Zod precisely how to control his new powers.
Some good acting (Cavill, Agent Van Alden, Javert-El), some indifferent (Perry Black, Detective Stabler). For all the screen time Faora-Ul got, I can't think of anything about her at all aside from the Klingon one liner that was duly bookmarked for later. Amy Adams just seems out of place in a blockbuster, and looks a little weird in blue filter IMAX. Score was good. Reeve movement nods were nostalgic.
Then there's this:
Superman’s battle with Zod cost $2 trillion, killed 129,000 people
lol
She was pretty much the sexiest villain I can think of.
400 mill worldwide in 11 days so far..not too bad.
I hope there's not another one.
Already in the works.
Can't wait!
So is MoS the only pre-justice league movie then? Because I read that Nolan's dark knight series doesn't take place in the same "universe". And I don't think that Ryan Renolds will be back as the green lantern either, not that he's a huge loss though.
As far as I know, a MoS sequel is already in the works for a 2014 release. They are also supposed to do a Green Lantern reboot I believe, a Wonderwoman movie and Flash film before Justice League as well. JL is supposed to be in 2015, but maybe they push JL back a year?
smh OP's refusal to dig his head out of the sand is getting awkward.
I sense sarcasmAlready in the works.
Can't wait!
Now I need to start lying
They're going to churn out all those movies in the next two years? Yeah I don't think so.
I want to slap people that demand that Superhero movies be Best Picture nominees or winners.

OK, who caught this? I mentioned this earlier in the thread. I caught it the very first time I saw the film, however everyone else I asked didn't notice it till they saw it again. lol
Seriously though when I saw it.....RIP
OMG, he looks up just like Christopher Reeve did that one time!
Uncanny that things happen above Superman in both movies!
