Zod and Faora saved this movie and they didn't get enough screen time. The whole build up from the time Krypton was destroyed to when Zod showed up was :deadrose: Then Zod just stayed on the ship most of the time. They would've been better off sticking to the comics and sent Zod back to the phantom zone and set up for a sequel when Zod would come back with a vengence. I swear these directors have no fukking imagination. A nikka like Nolan and Snyder are so full of themselves and get so caught up on visuals that they give no fukks about he PLOT DETAILS.

Zod was bad ass and I would of enjoyed him coming back, but maybe they don't want anyone else to rival Superman's powers?

Also, I read your post about Mars. Maybe Earth was/is similar to Krypton? or Zod just wanted to cause Kal-El pain for choosing humans over his own race (logical reason).

That would be the only way you can sell a superman movie now. Otherwise you will have those cheesy 80's superman flicks. Superman's skill set needs a proper villian. Zod would've provided that. Maybe his crew comes back.


The think about this superman is, I didn't connect with him. He had no personality, no style, no nothing. Whenever the next superman comes out it will feel like i'm being introduced to the character all over again. I understand and applaud them for going with the "realism" but they sucked the life out of the character. And their attempts at humor/comic relief with cliche like a bytch.:childplease:

Doomsday, Bizarro and Darkseid. They can compete with Supes. Even Parasite if he gets his hands on Supes. Luthor is a mastermind, so he can fukk with his head.

Supes never really has a charming, charismatic personality; even as Clark Kent. He's a simplistic farm boy from Kansas dude. :heh: He's not Bruce Wayne. And once he puts on the cape he's all business.

Too bad $271 million nationally and crossing half a billion globally says you wrong :pachaha:

:umad:

the superman brand itself generated 1/3 of that gross. Marketing/promotion and Nolan/Snyder's brand generated another 1/3. Curiosity took care of the rest. In today's movie climate, its not that hard to do big numbers with super hero movies.

Your argument makes no sense, because everyone who didn't like the movie contributed to the sales as well. You don't know if you like a movie or not until you watch it. I watched it, and I thought it was a disappointment, but my money still counts towards that number. So the question is why do people want to see the movie, which Ethnic Vagina Finder already explained- the Superman brand name recognition, Nolan's involvement, and relentless promotion- none of which has anything to do with whether a movie is ultimately good or not.

Besides- do you really want to go the sales = quality route? :comeon:

I really believe the hate is 50% avengers marvel fanboys and the other half is just nikkas trying to be different. Superman is a corny country boy by nature and they toned that down and amped up the action

fukk the Avengers too but some of y'all sold me a dream with that too much action bullshyt:ufdup:....what about the buildup and horrible dialogue before the action kicked off:...the next part will have spoilers so stop reading if u haven't seen it...actuall I forgot


My problem with this movie is it started off like they wuz gonna go in a more serious/heavy direction with the movie starting off which I must agree makes u notice the plot holes and cheesy shyt in the movie,I couldn't believe dudes talkin about plot holes in shyt in a superman movie,becuz its supposed to be a lighthearted movie....this movie didn't decide what it wanted to be enough,be dramatic and heavy or be cartoonish and lighthearted like the marvel movies...cartoonish is almost a insult bcuz the superman cartoon had better writing then this to keep it funky.

And they spent way too much time on krypton,had no idea how wack supermans backstorry wuz....id rather them just showed his spaceship in the beggining and explain that krypton shyt and who zod wuz in 5 minutes...or just had russell crowe explain it in the ship once clark found it like he did anyway....id rather they had showed more of his childhood or teenage yrs with him gettin into shyt...like his first piece of puzzy breaking the headboard with backshots on Lana Lang:pachaha:...as oppose to the cut scenes and flashbacks,maybe it woulda helped me connnect with adult superman more,if he did more than whine and cry in the scenes they showed em as a kid and teen.

Second complaint is the bad acting of Superman,maybe I need to go back and look at the old supermans but I don't remember christopher reeves,the superman returns superman or even dude from smallville acting this damn robotic:comeon:....just didn't have much range,either no emotion or a scream face lol.....you wasn't cheering for em cuz u gave a damn about his character as much as it wuz cuz he wuz superman and he's supposed to win...win Bane wuz beatin batman azz I wuz :why:.

I think a better actor would've went a long way,instead of just getting the guy with the best look for superman....I wuz thinkin about getting a gym membership during sum of his acting scenes lol....Lois Lane wuz a good actress but sumthing about her gave her mom energy like she wuz old enuff to be his mom....maybe becuz he looked to young,I don't know how old he wuz supposed to be,but he struck me as early 20's and she looked like she wuz nearing 40 admittedly I'm not good at telling white womens ages...but she looked to damn old for him unless they gon make this a milf crush booty call thing and not a ssoul mate thing....hittin that latenite would be believable but love?that would mae superman look like a lame for real....lois lane supposed to be out of his league on sum level whether it be looks or becuz Clark so akward with women...well see if they make him akward clumsy clark in the next one.


That's when I finally realized it wuz supposed to not be a serious movies without plotholes but caroonish for the kids is when he came in with the glasses on and shook her hand and she didn't recognize em:mindblown:...all bcuz of the damn glasses,I guess there's never a way around making them seem ridiculous I just wish I wouldna forgot about that bullshyt that makes me go :childplease: every superman movie so I coulda enjoyed it more for what it wuz.


Another angry moment wuz when he sat back and watched his pops die:what:....u didn't even need to use no powers u bytch azz nikka! U coulda ran towards the tornado gingerly like your pops and did a light jog with him in your arms back under the bridge....that tornado apparenly wuznt that damn strong the fact kevin costner wuz able to give a hand motion and smile lovingly when that tornado wuz damn near on top of his azz:mindblown:...they killed him off for sum weak azz excuse for a inner struggle as to why he doesn't want to be revealed to the world,fuk outta here......I woulda liked to see his pops and Zog have a little dialogue,pops wuz the biggest savage in the movie.....replying "maybe:manny:" to letting little kids die in a river...superman only went sav mode when they choked his mama,I cheered bcuz I could connect with that:ufdup:

Next movie hopefully they change Lois Lanes(I don't remember if people complained when batman changed rachels to an uglier rachel)...but I'm suggesting just a younger looking Lois with equal acting ability......better writers far as dialogue,give superman more personality if possible...maybe a better more comical lois will be able to offset that....love story looking flabby and sick if they stick wit who they got..








Long rant over...my girl complainin about seein this instead of kevin hart already...I used that "family movie" shyt on her lol

Sumthin else I think woulda been cool if they needed a fake azz inner struggle they coulda made Zod not show his hand damn near immediatley....had em come on sum peaceful shyt instead of destroy earth shyt to lure clark out,take clark under his wing teaching him about krypton and telling him about his parents and old stories......THEN telling clark his evil scheme to destroy earth....then u coulda had a inner struggle of him wanting to save earth and not wanting to kill the other kryptonians becuz there all that's left of his people and who can tell him about his people and memories.....he spent his whole life tryna figure out where he came from and wanting to fit in but wuz extra cool with the plan to wipe the kryptonians out:heh:...woulda liked to see him on the fence a little bit maybe protecting them from earths military at first or sumthing....instead earth tryna kill all of y'all and u steady protectin them?he wuz whatever the version of a krytonian c00n is...I didn't know why he wuz so broken up about what happened with zog at the end cuz they never showed he wuz on the fence about wanting them dead and gone or tryna kill them before lol
