Which movie is better and why?I say Man of Steel!
Captain America: The First Avenger
Pretty hard, I feel like Captain America The First Avenger had less flaws, but I more enjoyed Man Of Steel. I don't know why people didn't like how Cap first started out with advertising/singing and all that. I actually applauded Marvel for having the guts to stay true to the character's origin. Henry Cavill has the best look for Superman in my opinion, but I do agree with the critics that say he doesn't reflect the character's personality accurately. He's too dark, reminds me of Batman, but if he talked less. I disagree with the Superman killing conflict. True, the character is not a killer, but that's exactly why they wrote that in. Internal character conflict. Put him at war with himself. Plus, it gave the grand opportunity to give Doomsday his new origin, which I kinda liked. In the end, I'll say Man Of Steel, they really dove deep into that movie, it was well written and had a great plot. I loved seeing and learning more of Krypton. Crazy how I'm not even a huge Superman fan????
Captain America: The First Avenger -- Mostly because it was a rousing, entertaining, old-school adventure film, plus it was true to the character of Steve Rogers/Captain America. Man of Steel, IMO, had a poor script, tinkered way too much with one of the great superhero origin stories and was not at all true to the character. Historically Superman has always been a symbol of heroism, proud, strong, beaming. But what we got in that movie was an utterly cheerless, dour automaton devoid of any kind of charisma or presence. I don't know who that boring, depressed dude who looked like Superman was in that movie, but he most certainly wasn't Superman.
