| Read the Man of Steel Prequel special Edition, it explains some stuff from the movie My only problem is that Superman broke his one rule of not killing anyone. But I guess he had no choice Also, how did Lois get from ground zero (where Morpheus and the other two daily planet people were) to outside the affected area where Zod had died. I refer to the area as "outside the affected area" since when Zod and Superman were flying past these buildings, the area seemed to be perfectly fine and untouched. Also, why weren't humans affected by the Gravity change. We saw cars being lifted up and crushed, but humans were running past them just fine. |

| Great movie just loved it. The story was the main strength of the whole movie. |

| I thought it was pretty meh. I was never a big Superman fan. I liked it enough for it to hold my interest, but I wouldn't see it again. The fight scene at the end was laughably ridiculous. Was there a single building/car/road/field/orbital satellite that they didn't completely smash each other through? Christ. He saved the city.... by destroying almost every single building, no doubt killing thousands of people in the process. |

| Saw this Sunday and....sorta disappointed. To praise this film in one way, I really loved the action/vfx (especially the World Engine with that ominous hum of chaos, damn that was great!) I also appreciated the format of how it told the story of Superman in a different way (i.e. flashbacks instead of the traditional straightforward crash on Earth -> farm boy -> Daily Planet/Superhero) But man, other than that, I just have to go, "Why?" I didn't think the Louis Lane was executed properly, and I don't see the rushed romance working right...or feeling right. Then there's Zod. A lot from what I gather, viewers prefer this Zod over Superman II's Zod; not me. The reason being was because I liked the menacing lack of morality the old Zod had and how he would really mess with Superman's feelings and actually make Superman have some disparity about trying to protect humanity. However, this newer Zod, while more interesting, just did not try to pull on Superman's heart strings. Sure, LOTS of people died, but it's people I don't care about. Also, In the Man of Steel, I didn't get the sense that Superman had great sense of, "Justice" and "Protecting the good of humanity" strongly. I'm not sure how to describe it, but this portrayal of Superman felt...dry. Overall, a 6.8/10 I'd say. |

| I havent heard that many good things about it, ill probably pass, especially since superman is the lamest hero aside from how hilariously evil he was in old comics http://www.ranker.com/list/the-50-greatest-examples-of-superman-being-a-dick/ariel-kana |

I thought I saw civilians being lifted up and dropped in some of the larger-area shots. But yeah, I was pretty surprised at how destructive this whole movie was. Literally everything was crushed to rubble. Plus seeing it all in 3D kind of fried my brain, but I thought it was a great movie. I would see it again for Cavill's lovely face and for my beloved Detective Stabler. |

| Before I watched the movie, I thought Lois was played by Pam from The Office lol |

Anyways I noticed it more in the shots from the street that the people were relatively unaffected while the cars got destroyed. Also Millions of metropolites died from Zod. Lois must have the most incredible luck out of anyone in the movie. |

Lois must have the most incredible luck out of anyone in the movie. And yeah, unlike the Marvel movies, I was struck by how so many bystanders were literally just dying. I wonder how much is cost just to animate all those buildings being smashed. And Lois Lane is a comic book heroine and is therefore immune to being killed and what not. Inb4 |

The scenes where Faora-Ul (the female Kryptonian) was taking on the armed soldiers was awesome. She would chain her attacks from one guy to the next. It made me think of Assassin's Rush from Fable. |
| Apparently the physical damage of the city in Man of Steel is at an estimated $700b. |
 |
| I liked it, it was a good action move. Not much more, though. Then again, that's all I really wanted, was to watch superman punch people through buildings so I got what I paid for. |
| T'was okay. Story wasn't anything spectacular beyond what we know of Superman's origin, as said, it was mainly just for action. Although, I admit, at one point I think they had enough action and should have stopped, but then they went back in and put some more. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |

Her fight scenes were my favorite. One thing that disappointed me was that I sat through the entire credits expecting some cameo or something for the next movie, nothing. /sigh. Were there any cameo or hints or anything during the movie? Not being a super hero expert I'm not sure if I missed anything. Was at least expecting to see Lex or something. |

| "After running simulations on Manhattan and Chicago, they got a sense of what the damage would've been. WTC estimates 129,000 people would've been killed, over 250,000 left missing, and almost a million injured.

But, hey, at least that one family in the train station is okay." LMAO, I can't stop laughing at how afwul the damages turned out to be. 100k dead? 2.5k missing? $700 billion on impact and $2 trillion overall? Superheros would be the death an economy.

MyLonesomeCowboy said: Wasabi said: Apparently the physical damage of the city in Man of Steel is at an estimated $700b. or roughly 14 9/11s seems a bit low actually. The World Maker alone was smashing dozens upon dozens of buildings and vehicles into a complete flat paste and this was before Supes and Zod started fighting. |

| I haven't actually seen it yet, but if it's anything like people have been describing than yea 14 9/11s does seem a bit low. I'm curious though is it crazier than the complete leveling of SF in ST:ID? |

| "Lots of people died!!!" I'm guessing some of you have never read DC comics before. ---- Anyway, I really enjoyed the movie, but my one complaint was it took the Spideman route(Tobey MaGuire version). Way too many people knew his "secret" identity. |
|
DateYutaka said: i never did that but WB own DC and there Big ass roster of heros and they rehash the same few hero the way they handel there comics is loke Kyo ani in anime the same think over and over again and the coimc fans doth protest no id kill to see a Movie of 52 or crisis I am absolutely baffled to see someone this terrible at English use the word "doth". But yeah, those movies are getting pretty fucking old. It's like Endless Eight turned into a series of movies, except not awesome. |

| It was alright, certainly wasn't the Dark Knight movies, but it was alright. |

| This is pretty much my impression of the movie. |
| This was probably the most bland superhero movie I've ever seen. Not too surprising. After the wad that superhero movies blew last year, I expected this would be a terrible year for them, and so far I've been right. |

Man of Steel might not have been as good as people wanted it to be but it is still better than the Purge - that was such a promising concept, why did they have to go and turn it into a standard home invasion movie - lazy |
| Just came from cinema and man... what a let down. I was hyping this movie so much and it only took 5 min to get all the shit defeated. The movie felt rushed, flashbacks were something good but the movie itself, most of the cast (especially Zod and Lois) and the dialogs were badly written. There was no emotion, no wit, no power in them. Superman Returns was bad but better. On the good side, it has the BEST action scenes to date. The destruction, chaotic scenery and battles, were well made but again they are in the wrong movie. 6.5/10. |

| bad film. very disjointed and the film sets no clear tone the whole way through. it's caught between trying to be a grim nolan-dark-knight type film and a generic action film. the special FX action was mostly boring because it felt as though there were no real consequences. nothing had really been built up. people were dying all over the place and then we are shown superman saving one person? and everyone's like "so you are on our side!!!" Everything looked gorgeous but it was a waste |
| I've seen it more than a week ago, as a prize for me getting through all the final exams...and...man, I deserved something better. Really. The only thing memorable is the soundtrack. |
