That's okay, Mayimbe still seems rather full of himself. Never gives a direct answer, only answers questions with questions.

 

[Snow Queen]

It is.

True, I suppose.

And yeah, Smith, he just keeps responding with more questions. He was asked about Bale in JL being denied and he responds with:

"Remember when Loki wasn't in Avengers at all? Look how well that worked out."

Remember when Skrulls weren't in Avengers? Because they weren't. Something being denied doesn't make it true.

So watching the trailer again and you van clearly see a chunk of cement with rebar going through it...now unless that ship is hauling that stuff and I highly doubt a fishing boat would be...the scene with him floating "unconscious" in the water is definitely not due to a boat explosion but due to an oil rig explosion....

My issue with Mayimbe is his arrogance and hypocrisy. He'll spout statements about how studios are bullies, and that he stands up for the little guy, and then will go and literally BULLY other sits and posters minutes later.

I think he's a major BSer, he only speaks up about things he is mostly sure about (that you could ask anyone and they'd probably say the same) but is real vague on details in case it turns out to be false. Case and point, the original SW cast returning. That was probably something most people were more sure of than not, IMO. When confronted and asked a yes or no question he just cannot do it and instead does a "tough guy" act and puts this smoke screen up about how "naive" his listeners are to the "industry" and how they don't know hollywood. It's all smoke and mirrors and ********. He seems like kind of a "Richard Grieco" *****ebag type for my money, he's got a very unctuous personality, IMO.

I've found that the biggest bullies are usually the ones that boast how they "don't like bullies" and have a "tough guy" act...there's no getting past their ego and having a real conversation. They always have to prove something and will go to stupid lengths to do it, even at the expense of their "morality" and "integrity"...and rationality in some cases. Mayimbe strikes me as the type.

All that "spiel" about the "little guy" is to get people to rally behind him. Real "champions of the little guy" never need to point out that they are, in fact "champions of the little guy". Everyone already knows this about them. It's obvious and apparent and doesn't need to be spelled out of that is truly the case.

So while Zod choking superman out, he use ice breath on Zod hand and shattered it.How is that possible.No invulnerability.Is Zod weak as hell or what.

Well Zod is also wearing heavy armor so...yeah?

I'm guessing the recent positive feedback folks were talking about was coming from Poni_boy?

Just got ridiculously positive Man of Steel feedback from the only person who I always see eye to eye with on movies

She cried twice. Said it's not as dark as people are making it out to be. And that it trumps Nolan's Batman trilogy by leaps and bounds.

Groovy. I find the timing interesting as the last 24 hours saw feedback and thus the possible screening that could of included Poni_Boy's source and the GameFAQs guy....? Of course Poni and his source would be able to confirm or call BS on the latter source as well.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Trumps Nolan's trilogy by leaps and bounds? Let's see how time treats that haughty claim.

 

[hopefuldreamer]

Man... there are gonna be some angry debates between the Batboards and the Supes boards

 

[sup101]

Well Zod is also wearing heavy armor so...yeah?

I think at that point Zod won't be in his armor.He'll be wearing the black suit at that point.

[Superman141]

Can I ask where you guys are reading this from?


Who is saying its Better and cried twice?

 

[Kal-El.9859]

IF Superman uses his freeze breath on Zod's hand has anyone taken into consideration that he could be referring to the actual armor and not his hand? Or hell he could have crushed both...he IS Superman afterall....

Does it matter? I don't think I've ever read a review so obviously fake.

 

[Kal-El.9859]

True...so **** it

 

[BatSpider]

If I see ice breath, this blows Avengers outta the water baby.

Who said this

???

 

[DoomsdayApex]

I remember a few critics who stated that TASM and The Avengers surpassed TDK in terms of storytelling and acting. That didn't pan out. So while I'm excited about MOS, I think it's just hyperbole. TDK Trilogy was influential for the genre.

Loving the 'supposedly' glowing reviews though.

 

[hopefuldreamer]

Does it matter? I don't think I've ever read a review so obviously fake.

That's what most of us said about the trailer description...

And that's precisely why I'm not reading it!

 

[BH/HHH]

So the guy on game faqs answered no more questions afer he was challenged on the oil rig scene. What a suprise... Not.

If these reviews are real and they say it tops TDK trilogy then maybe it does for them. I'm pretty sure ill be saying the same come June.

 

[Rust]

Does it matter? I don't think I've ever read a review so obviously fake.

Not that I believe it, but why is it so "obviously fake"? Just asking.

And what a family-friendly character you have in your avatar. Such a nice non-slimy fellow.

 

[Micromind]

And what a family-friendly character you have in your avatar. Such a nice non-slimy fellow.

Ha ha

No offence but, your avatar is not exactly family friendly either.

 

[Rust]

Ha ha

No offence but, your avatar is not exactly family friendly either.

Hey, it's not my fault I got hit in the head with a showel. At least I dont talk like a completely sweet old dude.

 

[BH/HHH]

Where's the info from of the person who cried?

 

[G.Godfrey]

There really IS new positive buzz on Man Of Steel.

That's great. Can you say anything more? Like, was anything specifically mentioned or just that the movie is great?
