Superman Reboot (Man of Steel)

Thanks Jobe.

I'll agree with you there Bry with those scenes with Lois but I think she certainly makes up for it later, she almost grows up the further into the film.

With Henry I think we'll see more sly smiles from him especially in the role of Clark. We only see him for less than a few minutes with the specs on so I reckon we'll have more humour (let's face it Superman and Ckark have to be two different characters) in between changes.

I will say I loved the suit, really liked it. I still miss the yellow shield on the cape but I understand its because if the CGI cape (which I didn't notice was not real, kudos to the team).

Glad you liked it Meds!


Posted this on Facebook and thought it was pretty funny.

We regards to the cape and the symbol on the back I think it was a design choice not to have the symbol on the cape.  There are many production pics of a real cape being worn.  If they wanted the symbol on the cape I think they could have put it there - even for the CGI cape shots.  Plus, I think they wanted to keep the symbol only on the chest since it has deep Kryptonian significance.

Maybe, either way I still miss it.

I'm with Meds, I missed it too.

After seeing it again and paying attention to details and dialogue a bit more, I feel I can validly answer people's criticisms of several points, particularly the destruction in Metropolis. Liked it EVEN better the second time. It's a really, really well done movie.

I've not been able to see this film yet but would really like to but there are such disparate opinions of personal friends and what you guys say that I'm wavering on whether I really want/need to see this film. The place I work at has about 75% college students working and out of the ones that have seen it only one person liked it and he was/is a "comic book" fan. Most have said it was too long and kind of "boring". They also felt the sfx were too much and not enough story (kind of unusual for a college crowd but that's what makes me uncertain even more).

Got to see the movie yesterday and looks like a lot of what I thought has already been stated. I enjoyed it, good action movie, not bad by way of story either, but I had some issues with it.

[spoiler]Like others have said the amount of destruction was just way to extreme for me. Sure Superman saved the world, but I could stop thinking about how many people died and how much damage he and Zod caused. It really through me out of the movie. The scale of destruction that would have been like 9/11 times 100, and after it's like life just went on like nothing happened for all these characters.

Then another thing I didn't like was Zod's death. That last big fight between them I really don't think was necessary. I understood his character until that point when he decided to destroy Earth for vengeance. I think he would have been a much more powerful villain to me without the whole revenge need. I think they should have pushed his soul purpose of defending Krypton being his only driving force, and when it's all lost I would have rather seen a man so alone and like the last of his world, not unlike Clark feeling alone.[/spoiler]

Just my thoughts, I think studios many times would rather make a huge action scene than craft emotional and good story some times.

Careful on spoilers still please.

Careful on spoilers still please.

Sorry, my bad...

Well I watched it. It was ok. Definitely felt like a hard Sci Fi movie, not like a superhero movie, never mind a Superman movie.

I didn't have many problems with it. A few script issues in the use of certain terminology and it was heavy on the action in a very condensed part of the film. The conclusion and other things discussed in the spoilers I sort of agree could have been done better but...

II was actually quite surprised at how little action there was across the whole thing apart from that end section. Very well made and visually stunning.

So has anyone seen this about Chris Reeve making a fleeting appearance in the film.

I think that is great if true - and it seemed to be true to me.
