So u finally watched the movie??? I thought u will only watch it today?
Yup seen it today... on IMAX 3D..
I must say, it's really good... in fact, I am going to say it's the best film this year.. better than Star Trek (which was my fav before this)... has flaws but overall, definitely not half as bad as some of the reviews made it out to be...
What I agree with the critics is (don't get me wrong, the below points don't take away that much from the movies as the critics suggest, but if they had added them which they could easily have, the movie would be a 90% plus on RT):
1. There really is very little humor.. i think they could have added some more without it being overly cheesy... I know some ppl might say it's a serious film and deserves no humor... i just disagree... i like humor in film.. if all i want is doom and gloom, i just live life...
2. The way they cut back and forth was too quick and was quite jarring... a more liner approach might have been better in this case, or keep the memories scenes a bit longer to let them develop further... let them sink in a bit more... you can't snap to the past with an emotional scene, then immediately snap back to a battle... it just interupts the emotions you were just about to develop...
3. Superman needs to smile more.. needs to be more 'animated'... this is not really a critic complain but more of an audience complain i hear more and more... Henry did an excellent job within the script.. if it called for serious, he's serious, if it called for sadness or emotions, he has spades to spare, so we know he's capable of all types of acting.. but the script didn't call for him to smile... (well maybe in one scene, briefly)... he actually has a great smile.. and if there were just a few more of those scenes, and a little light hearted scenes, it'll cut into the whole gloom/doom scenario the movie portrays...
4. The fight scenes are way, way too fast.. i think you guys are responsible for that mishap.. since you complained too much about Zack's slow-mo, i think he's over-compensating with fast-mo... this totally screwed up the magic of his first flight.. you can't see anything... you can't enjoy the scenery, et.c.. and all the fights are literally worse than transformers.. because the main complain about tansformers is the fights are too fast to see or register, MOS does it faster.. I can see a few scenes made this way to show how fast these beings are, but then need to do some slower scenes so we can drink it all in...
So, final thoughts.. it's a great movie.. best of the year... but could have been a classic with just minor twitches...
I blame it all on Goyer... cause he wrote the script... goyer is all 'dark, way too serious, and zero lightness'.. and I don't think he even knows what humor is...
