TMOS Reviews Thread - Non Spoiler Review and Discussion - Part 1

[BH/HHH]

^ I liked how "slow" trailers 2 and 3 felt. I hope the movie feels like it

Ha ha t:

 

[Visualiza]

I love to read reviews and I really don't mind if people don't like MOS. I just hate comments like that where they clearly have no patience. It's just a shame that certain people don't care about the story they just wanna be eyef**ked for two hours. It's the Michael Bay generation.

How can you say something like that? Let's say the story sucks, or the pacing is off, the character development nonexistent, the acting wooden...what then? If you're clamoring for them to be reasonable, you yourself should take your own advice because neither you nor I have any perspective on the matter.

What are you talking about? Basically what I'm saying is I can't take an opinion of someone who wants two hours of explosions seriously. Also read the comment above they say no reason why they thought it was slow.

^ Ugh. This character development is SO0000 BORING. I just want Superman to fight Zod without any reason

And I'm saying you can't assume that because you don't know. Nothing in their commentary states that they wanted two hours of wanton destruction, not even implicitly. So one of them wasn't impressed with the first half of the movie, is that not an opinion? That doesn't automatically mean that they dismissed the story, just means that whatever story there was, they(or one of them at least) simply didn't enjoy it. Whats so hard about giving them the benefit of the doubt? You're assuming that the story is good when, as I said before, you have no perspective on the matter.

Maybe I made an assumption but end of the day it doesn't mean I wasn't right with alot of today's world. Don't know why you're making such a big deal about it.

That's neither here nor there.

Ironic, because that was the point of my post - to ask you that very question.

Well I wasn't going on and on about that post, I started off talking about that post then I went on to what's wrong with a lot of people these days

Point in case t:

 

[Superwoman Prime]

If you're itching for a back-and-forth, Visualiza, I recommend the Batman boards. This is a different environment.

 

[echostation]

He just noy and nor happy. I dont see why this no happy man always want to turf it out visual style for fight

I agree. Superman board for peace and happy good discussion of character and film. No of this bicker and tocker and argue to be useless

 

[Naite22]

Is it normal for a movie to have early screenings like this?
And are the reactions usually 100% positive?

No... And the reactions coming out for MOS isn't 100% positive either. Actually, i'm hearing some comments here and there that really worries me! I hope these comments comes from dumb teenagers who was hoping for a standard Avengers kinda action film. We'll see.

 

[Naite22]

Eh, I'm not worried. Even if character development in the theatrical version is rushed we know there's tons of deleted footage that will doubtless end up on DVD.

Ok, that's a pretty irritating statement for me to read. **** deleted scenes!!! This thing must be handled with care IN the actual movie. As in seen in the theatrical movie experience! NOT to be viewed in deleted scenes ones the movie comes out on bluray and dvd. That's just dumb... Not good enough.

 

[Smallville13]

Agreed. I'm anxious to see the RT reviews tomorrow. Whilst the response to the pre-screenings has been mostly positive, alot is lukewarm, or just downright negative. It's successfully scaled right back my expectations of the film. ThePowerCosmic, Dajanksta, and Simo's reaction has been reassuring though.

It depends... if the deleted scenes were deleted because they don't work for the movie, has pace problems, etc, then I agree.

However, in this case, I think Zack was forced to cut down to a certain length which the Studio with it's statistical machine says is the limit to what movie goers will want to see... or, some other economic reasons..

If the latter is the case (and I am not saying 100% that it is), then we ought to be able to get a Zack Snyder's version in the BluRay... they can release the blu-ray carrying both versions...

Or, better yet, keep the 3:20 version to be released a few months before MOS 2... that would be great because everyone will have to go watch it again.. thus, making tons more money.. (Again, before you shoot me down, this is only if the 3:20 works and is what Zack decides is the best version)

 

[Naite22]

I'll give one. Not a spoiler but:

Spoiler

There is a picture in the open discussion of Ma and Pa Kent holding a baby Clark (I assume). That's not in the movie at all.

Snyder said they had a 3 hour cut, so I'm sure they didn't just toss it out.

See this is what truly PISSES me off!! They show pics of stuff, and you build things up in your mind. And then it doesn't even make the final cut! this happens so damn often!

I don't wanma have parts of the film feeling rushed. I pray to god that it won't be, or this movie will partly fail in the sense that people won't be as rapped up in everything like they/we're intended to be!

God I hate all this freaken pre-hype, and thoughts from advanced screenings, tweets etc! They always manage to tear hope partly from each other because of their thoughts, making the film sound like it's not at all what it's hyped up to be. Pisses me off.

 

[Superwoman Prime]

I hope echostation didn't suffer a head injury.

Have you ever not over reacted to something?

 

[BH/HHH]

I was thinking the same thing lol

 

[Astrodust]

If the film had that much extra footage that didn't make the theatrical cut, I'm sure there will be a directors's cut or extended edition. Perhaps it will release with MoS2 or something. The advantage of having shorter length movies( not that MoS is that short) is that you get more showtimes which mean more box office dollars. Of course if MoS tracks really well they could open up more theaters for it. I wonder how many theaters MoS is getting. Hopefully 4000+.

Yes, I was thinking the same thing... but sometimes the scenes were cut before they edited it with CGI, sound, etc... so, they might not want to spend the money going thru another hour of pre-production.. which could cost tens of millions (especially in the CGI dept)

But I really hope they do though.. cause it would make both economic sense, and also for us Superman fans, it's like a whole new movie (I mean, a whole hour???)... if they released it just before MOS2, I think they can easily make a few hundred million more WorldWide...

 

[Gavan]

Agreed. I'm anxious to see the RT reviews tomorrow.

May this movie be a success, for the fans who deserve better, the fans who deserve a Superman movie to truly call their own, and those who wish ill upon it.

Merciful Rao!

I have seen very little that is downright negative 90% of them would qualify as a positive review on RT and many of them were glowing..

Yup. My expectations has been scaled back also many things makes it seem like this one will maybe pull another superman returns on our asses. With that I mean in the sense that they will be rushing through parts and leaving a lot -WHICH HAS BEEN SEEN THROUGH PICS- on the cutting room floor! I can't stand that.

1: Yet a film like the freaken Hobbit gets to have a 45 minute start up with dwarfs eating everything in Bilbos house acting like complete idiots, before they even starts out on their damn journey! if that movie was allowed to have a running time of 2:45 hours, I think it down right SUCKS that MOS isn't allowed to be any longer.

2: Snyder said that the theatrical cut IS the definitive cut. There will be no more... And besides. I don't care about a possible longer cut to ever exist. Don't people understand that it's IMPORTANT for this stuff to be handled just right within the actual theatrical version!?? This is what NEEDS to be seen when we go see this film. The audience deserves this whole package! It's ****ing now or never. I swear to god, that if this feels rushed, like Returns did and then just go ballistic on the action for 2 hours - i'll murder someone.
