All I know is, I absolutely, genuinely loved Man of Steel, and I think it's one of the best superhero movies ever. The very opening scenes gave me that childhood wonder, and I had chills. I had an anxiousness. I actually teared up in the opening shots as Lara gave birth to her baby. That Zimmer music, those out-of-focus zooms in and out of her face, and all the while I have my hand over my mouth thinking, "She's giving birth to Superman." The first thought that popped into my mind throughout the entire movie was, "This is our new Star Wars." Then I go home and go on the Internet and I'm literally shocked to my core. I'm stunned.
Regardless, the whole film was an experience I'll never forget. I'll hold it dear to my heart, because that midnight premiere meant a hell of a lot to me. Sincerely. I understand that people hated it, sure. But it doesn't influence me. I have my feelings, and I'll keep that with me, and I'll hold onto it. It sucks that many people don't have that. I honestly don't care about Rotten Tomatoes. I feel that they got it wrong, but they think I'm wrong too. That's okay.
And I'm sticking to both Matrix sequels for as long as I live, and I'm sticking to The Dark Knight Rises, and Speed Racer, and M. Night Shyamalan's first four movies, and nothing is going to convince me otherwise. If I have bad taste, if I need to "see more movies," then I have bad taste and I need to see more movies. That sounds fine to me.
Needless to say, the Internet isn't usually a place for me, haha.
