I'm going to see Man Of Steel this weekend, and the reviews that I've been hearing aren't that good. I've been hearing that it's this depressing, dark, dramatic film with no humor, loud noises, and action on top of action (which is kind of what I expected from this movie). With that said, I was quite positive that this was what the fans wanted, a more serious Super Man interpretation. I'm ultimately going to judge the movie when I see it, but for now, I have 3 short questions for you:1) What did you think of Man Of Steel?2) Superman Returns got somewhat better reviews than Man Of Steel. Does it seem logical?3) There is a huge fan battle between Man Of Steel and Christopher Reeve's version of Super Man. Which one do you favor?
I know nothing about Superman nor have I watched the other films or read the comics. Man Of Steel was a CGI-fest, maybe a little bit too much, though it is Zack Synder's style. I actually fell asleep for most of the movie, seeing only the first 30 minutes and last 45 minutes? So that might be a good indication or it could just be me. There were loads of action scenes but overall, the movie wasn't that impressionable to me. The storyline was quite standard and had nothing outstanding, not even humour. Lois Lane and Superman barely had much screen time together to establish any chemistry. The other characters were pretty flat as well. I did like the dark psychological themes of Superman's struggles and coming to terms with his abilities though.
I loved the new interpretation in Man of Steel Superman Returns got very poor reviews in the beginning, and as the hatred has worn off and fans have been the only ones voting, the score has moved up. As fond as I am of Christopher Reeves, his version was a touch campy. I much prefer the serious treatment.
I actual have considered the two whilst it first got here out. Superman (1978) is extra infantile. guy of steel is extra intense and cater to adults. guy of steel is plenty extra centred on the conflict between him and his Krypton enemies. there are in easy terms some scenes the place he saved human beings yet they don't seem to be the main important concentration of the action picture.
saw it yesterday and it was great. all the complaints about it being gloomy...nonsense really. how would u feel if u found out ur life was a big question mark THEN u grow up only to get tossed in giant sh*t storm. many right now are excluding this is a story driven movie/character. u can't go in expecting anything with this movie especially ANY comparison to precious films. between Reeves and Cavill... I'm not gonna make that decision yet. this portrayal was one of a complete serious nature. u only get a couple glimpses of other emotions. the ending was a great lead off in which the sequel will showcase a lot more emotion within the character guaranteed. for now Reeves is still the best. until we all see Cavill display a full form of charm and charisma then the entire debate is really pointless
