Movie was terrible and that building destruction plot hole was an immense insult to everyones intelligence.

Then Superman snapped Zods neck and killed him? :dwillhuh:

The script and director completely missed the point of Superman as a hero, they failed at capturing the essence of the character and for that the movie was above average at best.

Then there's the whole non-linear plot, that was a terrible idea.

I just saw this on HBO last weekend. I thought it was awkward.. Its not bad its not good ... it's just different.. It needs repeat viewings ...
The fact that Lois knows he's Clark .. Hell, the way it's written I think Smallville knows Supes is Clark ... Pete knows cause they made eye contact when they destroyed the IHOP..

It has classic Nolan style with the contant time jumps ..

Supes killing Zod was out of character but they did show him distrought about doing it​

The only thing that fukked me up was how fast he was flying. Oh and him and Zod throwing each other into buildings. What's the point in having an action scene that intense if no one can see what's going on?

I agree with you on killing Zod. He didn't want to but he was left with no choice. I remember thinking that exact same thing when o first saw the movie.

One thing about that ZOD killing.. the way it looked the people could've actuualy run away while supes was holding his head. Was is supposed to be that they were cornered ... because the way the CGI looked I was a little baffled they didnt just run

Son... I was thinking this Sunday when it came on HBO. There was no corner. They could have made it up those stairs. :ohhh:

i for one was glad when he killed zod. i was actually waiting for him to use the heat vision and give him a lobotomy.

but its obviously a different superman. dude watched pops kent die in that tornado, he was just a different guy. thought they way they had him going around and saving people in certain situations as he got older was cool.

those kryptonian usb drives were hilarious to me for some reason.

i never did like superman so my expectations were low but i thought this movies was cool... not as good as the stans portray but not as bad as the haters portray either....
i totally understand comic readers not lettin the action blind them to the numerous flaws in this movie,
the story alone had about 100 holes in it but i can actually watch movies without letting nitpickin blind me....

as a mindless action "superhero movie" its epic but as a character/story driven "comic movie" its an epic fail...

But his POPS basically committed suicide. He really didnt want Clark using his powers at all ... Basically he was like your powers shouldnt change the natural flow of events.. let the world of events play out as if you didnt exist.

I get the feeling that around here, if a movie is anything less than GOAT/greatness, it's trash. MOS has great action sequences, basic plot, poor script, and average acting. It's :ehh: status. Worth a watch for anyone that likes action or superhero movies. B+/- kind of movie.

i didnt feel like he didnt want him to use the powers at all, just not until the time was right. its one thing to save some dudes on an oil tanker in the middle of nowhere, but another thing entirely to expose your powers to everyone in your small ass hometown when you're like 16 (or however old he was there)

when his pops told him that he should have let all those kids on his schoolbus die.... :manny: papa kent kept it extra real right there

its like that men in black shyt, when will tries to tell tommy lee "people are smart" and tommy lee is like :comeon: "A PERSON" is smart, but people get that group/gang mentality. you see how the government thought they could strong arm him at first :heh:

but you know the government, just like any other villian is gonna go right at that farm in smallville telling the moms that she better give up his whereabouts or suffer the consequences

they ran that game on him with lois, and he aint even really know her like that
