One night last summer my girlfriend was away for the weekend and I decided to treat myself to a self-date at the movies. I had already seen Man of Steel once and was on the fence about seeing it a second time. Last summer AMC was running their "Summer Nights" program where they were screening a movie from 2012 for 3 bucks each week. That night it was TDKR. I decided to see that again, even though I had already seen it 4 times on the big screen and countless times at home. I felt pretty good about the decision after enjoying TDKR on the big screen one last time, and I still haven't even bought Man of Steel on Blu-ray.
If you told me all of the above before Man of Steel came out, I wouldn't have believed it as I was crazy excited for the movie, particularly after the glorious trailer 3.
So that pretty much sums it up for me when comparing those two movies. It's not even that I think Man of Steel is a bad movie, it just never...grabbed me.
