Man of Angst ( a.k.a. Man of Steel )

[Overmind One]

I'm sorry, I missed what you said again. I was in the kitchen getting a spoon.

Now the dialogue and acting, that hurts.

LOL. His body isnt doing for me whatever it is doing for you. I see a nicely built guy, but Im wanting to see Superman. The story, the Lois Lane thing, the flying and stuff. Even the way they did his X-ray vision made it seem like some sort of demented disease. I did like this though...

That is the core of the issue OM, the got the Superman character 100% wrong.

They tried to make him into a super powered version of The Dark Knight. But that cannot work. Batman is a wounded person who becomes a sort of dual person - playboy to the world and vigilante in secret. Superman can't be dark and moody, punching Zod in the face while yelling obscenities and still be Superman. And that doesn't even get into his being at least partly responsible for the destruction of both Smallville and Metropolis with the deaths of millions. In a way, Superman needs to be a simple minded do gooder for the character to function otherwise he comes off as a super powered psychopath - like in this film.

They kind of glossed over all that in the last scene of the movie where everyone is happily ensconced in The Daily Planet's new digs and everything is right with the world.

I'd worry if his body was doing something for you.

Honestly though I really don't care for Superman as a character that much. He has none of the depth of Batman or other superheroes. He's just very vanilla and hyped up to be more than he is. Plus he comes off as kind of a dick. To be honest I find myself rooting for the Kryptonite whenever he comes into contact with it.

Im trying to find a way to keep my eyes from rolling so much, or perhaps harness the energy from all that rolling to reduce my power bill? This is awful. The scene with the alien ship in the ice, lame. Lois Lane = Lois Lame. I keep having to pause it!

 

[Joelist]

I don't think a single scene quite manages to cover over the prior events.....


A better ending would have been Lois asking Superman about all the death and destruction and why in light of it they should regard him as anything but a psycho. He then suddenly says "Oops, gotta run!" and hurriedly flies away - the end.

Yeah, the whole Fortress of Solitude thing was very convoluted and nonsensical. The whole movie was just so bad in terms of explaining WTF was going on.

 

[Overmind One]

What the hell? Jor-El is in the ship and we again have the lame particle effect with the metallic beads forming images. THIS is what they use to depict planetary data?

It looks like an elementary school arts and crafts project.

Maybe Clark Kent is secretly a building contractor who needed to gin up some municipal contracts?

 

[Overmind One]

Wait...he is inside the Fortress, and when he goes in he looks like this:

But then 10 minutes later after talking to his daddy's ghost, he looks like this?:

Okay, so somewhere in that ship he got a shave, a new hair style (with products) and that cool new suit and cape?

Oh please, Tom Welling is a stupid queen who doesn't know what to do with the breast being offered to him.

I Do...............

 

[shavedape]

I Do...............

FILTH!

 

[Gatefan1976]

FILTH!

And proud of it

 

[shavedape]

And proud of it

Objectification is frowned upon here...unless we're talking about the male of the species, then it's all fair game.

 

[Gatefan1976]

Clean my floors biatch

 

[Overmind One]

Did they really have Zod black out the TV stations with his lame message in all the world's languages? Really?

5 seconds later:

What happened??? How the hell did we leave the base and have Lois and Clark in the desert? Not 5 seconds later, they were holding hands. This movie isnt Superman. Lois knows who he is from the start, and the whole dynamic has changed.

LOL, what was that for? I suppose any facepalm will do.

 

[Overmind One]

LMAO...this two hour and twenty three minute movie is taking me more than 4 hours to be able to watch!

 

[Gatefan1976]

Who on Earth is gonna stop superman?

 

[Joelist]

So which is worse? Man of Steel or Blade: Trinity?
