Due to recent news involving X, formerly Twitter and its owner, the staff of SuperHeroHype have decided it would be best to no longer allow links on the board. Starting January 31st, users will no longer be able to post direct links to X on this site, however screenshots will still be allowed as long as they follow Hype rules and guidelines.

Better than Begins you think?
Yeah don't worry I'll be sure to mention that to my annoying friends. It's just I can already hear the 'you mean the same people who loved Transformers, F&F, and Twilight?' response from a mile away...
For me...
Batman Begins: 7.9
Man of Steel: 7.4
I'd be OK with BB rounding up to an 8, but it's different for MOS. The pacing, unfolding of the plot... there were problems.
IMO MOS is a better movie as a whole, I have mayor issues on BB third act, it's really messy, and i was really disappointed on how fight scenes were filmed.
I think Zacks does a more complete job on this one, and the issues where 90% character driven, meaning that some people felt they were like "out of character things" (mostly).
BTW didn't the filmmakers say something about kryptonite being a silly contrivance? And yet in this film they have a ship that has the exact same effect on Superman and for the exact same reason as kryptonite.What difference does it make if it's a rock instead of a ship?
True but from what they've established Kryptonite would actually make a lot of sense now. If he is weakened by the atmosphere of the planet then it doesn't seem like too much of a leap that a radioactive part of that planet would cause more harm.I dunno if it was the exact same reason. I took it as Superman would have eventually adapted to the Kryptonian atmosphere over time. He wasn't exactly dying in the ship when he was strapped down, just powerless. With kryptonite however, he would get sicker and sicker and eventually die from the radiation.
Also what's more hokey. Microwave Emitter or World Engine?

Definitely the microwave emitter!
I'm cautious about the sequel while it would be great to see it as soon as we can i wan't to know that it isn't a rush job and they will be really focused on its quality.
MoS was super enjoyable but it wasn't perfect and i really hope the sequel will sort of end up as the "TDK" of superman films.
Well the nature of one is other-worldly so fair game I think. Microwave Emitter was such a contrived plot-device which made no sense. Seriously it's just another comparison you can draw between the two films, and yet BB was universally hailed by critics, and MOS mixed.![]()

I just hope that when the Justice League film happens with Cavil's superman, that he doesn't take a back seat to the new version of Batman. I'm getting quite tired as it is seeing Batman always portrayed as the "better hero", more importantly, as the only hero who can't be tainted, in just about every portrayed version of the group. Superman is always shown being the one that doesn't have the brains or skills when put against Batman and he's always the one that's more likely to become evil whereas Batman cannot.
wasn't man of steel the TDK of superman films?
