June 14, 2013 7:16 pm I have to say I'm a little surprised so many people are defending this movie so much. I did like it a little better than Paul did but it has some glaring problems that are the result of just bad movie making and bad story telling. I'm in no way surprised critics didn't like it because it's not an exceptionally well made movie. It was by all means entertaining and I think it had some parts that were absolutely brilliant, but it just has a lot of problems mixed in that kept it from being great or even really good in my opinion.
June 14, 2013 7:02 pm Overall I would say the movie was "good", but I have to say it was a bit disappointing if I'm being honest. SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER I thought it was pretty well cast, I thought it mostly looked very good, and I think the special effects and fight scenes were very good. But man it has some serious flaws. I don't think it was particularly well directed, and I normally like Snyder a lot. Count me as one of the people who didn't like that he kills Zod. Not just that he kills him, but how he kills him is just brutal and out of character. I get he kind of "had to" but why write that in there? At least you can see it tormented him to have to do it so I can get over it, but just a really odd choice. Also not a fan of Lois knowing who he is right away but I could live with that if it wasn't for the fact that there is absolutely no way that the rest of the world doesn't know who he is, pretty lazy story telling there because it should be very clear to everyone that Clark Kent is Superman. I'm glad I saw it and all but I certainly won't pay to see it again. I'm hopeful the sequel will be better because I think there is a lot of potential there.
June 14, 2013 12:45 am I enjoyed this but I have to say, the poster thing was just weird and annoying, the way it was inserted made it so I was afraid I was going to tear it trying to read one of the word boxes. That is not something I would care to see in any future comics.
June 14, 2013 12:29 am That Mark Waid tweet had me worried too, then I went to RT and saw how low the score had dropped! So yeah, going to try and lower my expectations a bit for this though it does seem like audience reactions are mostly quite positive.
June 13, 2013 9:24 am Exactly what I was thinking, didn't know she was going to be in this!
June 7, 2013 4:30 pm I loved it.
June 7, 2013 4:12 pm @Conor thanks for that, I was just getting ready to ask how Land ends up on book like this since it seems like everyone on the internet dislikes his work.
June 7, 2013 2:35 pm Well Spider-man is in this so I'll be getting it for sure. I just wish Land wasn't on this book but oh well.
June 7, 2013 11:07 am I hadn't seen that Fearless Defenders cover, that's pretty awesome. That Winter Soldier cover is pretty spectacular too, good choices all around this week.
