TMOS Reviews Thread - Non Spoiler Review and Discussion - Part 7

[Sup3rman81]

Man of Steel was amazing! RT score does it no justice but the fans arent buying the negative reviews. Facebook and Twitter both are packed with people raving about how much they love this movie. I left speechless and I am going to IMAX Friday and taking my dad to see it Saturday.

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

Pity. I like Waid a lot. Yet another raving blog review: http://2cinemaddicts.blogspot.com/2013/06/man-of-steel-review.html

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

A positive press review as well: http://blog.seattlepi.com/peoplescritic/2013/06/13/review-man-of-steel/

^ So it's a movie worthy of trailer 3?

Definitely. I still can't get over how badass this movie is.

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

^ Wow. I'm sold. Here's a negative review I'm grateful for: Man of Steel is a pandering, monotonous mess that features an anachronistic character who may be best left a relic of the past. Let Christopher Reeve have Clark Kent. Henry Cavill and Zack Snyder certainly haven’t earned him in this mind-numbing, tiresome bore of a picture.

So he thinks Superman's outdated, yet he attacks MOS for updating him? That defies logic.

Mark Waid posted his review. I feel the same way he does. "Utterly joyless".

Beware, there are spoilers in the review.
Mark Waid's "Man of Steel" Review

Wow. Waid didn't like it. I didn't read the whole thing because of the spoilers. But with Birthright spewing from the movie I thought he would have liked it. I didn't think it would be joyless He didn't like SR neither. So that's fine with me.

For those who mentioned that Brainiac or Lex should be the next villain in Man Of Steel 2. . .any casting choices? t:

 

[Sup3rman81]

Definitely. I still can't get over how badass this movie is.

I am so glad the GA and fans are loving this movie as much as me. We deserved this movie. This movie aint for critics its for the fans and for comic book fans who want Superman to mean something on the big screen once more

ANOTHER really positive blog review: http://atdmovie.blogspot.com/2013/06/man-of-steel-review-superman-film-we.html

Don't think Brainiac is a good idea for Mos 2. Another near apocalypse would be weird. Can't do that until the JL movie.

MoS 2's villains should be Lex and Metallo.

YES!! I haven't even seen the movie, but that's what I've been saying this whole time!!

 

[Joker594]

MoS 2's villains should be Lex and Metallo.

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

Yep. If anyone involved in MOS2 is listening, they should straight up TDKR 'BANE' Metallo, but with the proper set up to logically make sense. And another positive press review: http://www.news-press.com/article/2...gin-story-adds-luster-Man-Steel-Superman-tale

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

And one that say's it's adequate: http://voices.yahoo.com/movie-review-man-steel-2013-starring-henry-cavill-12185597.html?cat=40

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

And a positive comment from the IGN forum: http://www.ign.com/boards/threads/i...teel-spoilers-hidden-my-review-itt.453107553/

As well as a good Examiner article 4/5 http://www.examiner.com/review/review-man-of-steel-revives-superman?cid=rss

 

[blumatic]

Flaming, will any of these articles be reflected on RT.

 

[Asgard]

So is anyone who was stuck in the rt critic funk coming back around to being enthusiastic after your fellow hypesters have chimed in?

Haha yup

I think it'll be a lot more interesting in here when we all have more of a position to judge the film for ourselves.

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

Probably not, as many of these are blogs and"geek sites" as well as personal (not critical) websites. And yet another raving review to rehype everyone. An A- here. http://asseenby.com/2013/06/14/snyders-man-of-steel-impresses-cavill-shines/

 

[Asgard]

Lol, you seemed to be freaking out a little. Good to hear youre coming back around.

 

[\S/JcDc\S/]

So you guys really think just Lex and Metallo? You don't like my old idea of Lex/Metallo/Brainiac? I think people are scared of multiple villains but consider this: Lex is a behind the scenes evil corporate man. Brainiac is mostly behind the scenes, but with the metallic technology we saw in MOS it is possible he could even shift his shape (if done in a non comical way) and be more of an opponent. Also Metallo could serve as a secondar villain for the first act quite well. After Metallo loses you have an epic battle with Brainiac who brings out all of his abilities. I think it could work. Lex manipulates Corben, Brainiac manipulates Lex. Good times

 

[Hammer!]

Mark Waid is getting attacked on Twitter for not liking this film. I hope this isn't a sign to come that this film is going to seriously divide fans like with TDKR and IM3.

4/5 stars. Wonder if RT will count it?

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

This one said it would be good, but polarizing to fanboys http://en.paperblog.com/man-of-steel-review-558601/

How is he getting attacked? Like personal insults or people not agreeing with his review?

In any case, people should just settle down and not take this kind of stuff so seriously.
