Naw, I meant the last few minutes of the film. I stayed and there was nothing after. Btw, what were your thoughts?

It went so fast I honestly need a second viewing. lol I don't feel ready to give my complete thoughts yet. I'm still taking it in that I actually saw it. :woot:

But I can say that I wanted more! I want to know more, see more, feel more of everything.

I NEED a follow up! Like now!

So I'm guessing you liked it? :yay:
 
Just got back from the Walmart screening. My initial reaction is far and away the best comic book movie I've ever seen. I liked it better than TDK and The Avengers. I have no idea why it's receiving "mixed reviews". Cavill is fantastic. The Lois/Clark relationship is a bit rushed, but works. There's so much story to tell, they really needed 3+ hours to tell it, but the pacing works nicely for 80+% of the movie.


Oh and...

The Wayne Enterprises logo on the satellite is the exact same logo used in the Nolan trilogy.
 
My theatre ROARED when it ended...MY EYESSSS, My eyes bleeed with epicness!!!!!
 
Kind of contradictory to several reviews. Like I said earlier, MOS, for me, is like the tale of two movies as far as reactions go.

It might as well be two movies. But I always connect emotionally to any movie I see, its a weird part of my psyche that does that.
 
When lil Clark was running around with the cape at the end and Jonathan was watching was a very powerful scene. You could hear a pin drop during that scene. Costner killed it

As u can see all the scenes are there but just in a different sequence of order.
 
:D haha I'm so happy. Movie rocked, entire crowd cheered at the end, I'm seeing it again. lol Happy happy me. Superman is back.

ya. how come? lol
maybe some can see the grander scale and forget about the flaws. while some clinch on the flaws and miss the story.
 
I'm interested to hear what more people thought, but at the end of the day, I'm happy Superman is back and me and my girlfriend left with with the biggest smiles on our faces. Can't wait to see it again in another 3 hours. :D
 
Grown man here. I fought back tears a couple times. My wife cried.

I fought back tears when the movie started... Just a rush of joy and unbelief that it was actually happening. :woot:

At the emotional scenes in the movie my fiancé teared up. And she just admitted to me ,"Superman is the hottest superhero ever, hands down. No disrespect, Honey". Hahaha why am I not mad?! LOL
 
I'm glad a lot of folks here like it. Hope it gets good WOM. And the critics dont matter much, Taken and 300 had low RT score but had great audience WOM.

You're not mad because that dude is good looking, maybe too good looking.

Im not going to lie. The mixed critic reviews bug me. But this movie was damn near perfect in my eyes. I want a half dozen more movies in this universe.
 
I got cheers and applause in mine...

I was one of them> :oldrazz:

My screening got an extensive round of applause. Even though I figured there was no post-credits scene, me and my GF just stayed and talked to people and they were just so pumped after it was over. I even saw kids running up and down the theater with their little Superman suits and capes just excited that Superman was back.

My GF, who is a Marvel fangirl, even went as far as to say MOS surpassed the first Iron Man as her favorite CBM ever(to date).
 
This was incredible. I'm baffled by the critics low ratings. Some things could of been developed more , but overall it was a very satisfying film experience. There was some heavy drama and I almost got choked up a couple times. However the films does have a couple laughs.
