50 bucks says it's the score that's giving you the goosebumps. Because that slow burn swell into that crescendo is timed flawlessly with Russell's speech. I get them too. Sad thing is, this trailer set the bar too high for the movie. It didn't suck, but if we had gotten the movie that the trailer set up, it could have been on par with Nolan's Bats. Snyder just doesn't have the directorial ability for that, though

[@noexcuses5524]

My sister made a story about superman and supergirl. Really great story The title is the “S” logo. That way, the viewers will not know if the main character is superman or supergirl. But she is a big fan of superman xD. Really great story. I love it ! The problem with her is she is very lazy to make the script so she can try to submit it to warner bros. She said why bother make a script when they are not going to accept. I tried to make script for her but she crumple it and said the grammar is bad . And the way how i wrote the story is bad. Just sad I actually want the script so i can keep it myself and hopefully if warner bros said no. There is that story she made i can keep and i can tell my kids and grandkids about the story -is like a memento. It is really a great story. Not bcus she is my sister but her imagination is beyond . One of fave story she made is “choice” about one sided love. , “S” ( DC story superman/ supergirl), zombie story- no title yet about two siblings were separated at a young age bcus of an zombies epidemic. Gawd ! No script for all of them.

That's cause all the actors were top notch quality and the story,writting,and everything made sense and wasn't boring or draggy. Also he looks the part where he doesn't look like just some basic guy in a Superman outfit. Christopher Reeve and Henry were the best Superman. I don't know who they could get to play the next superman but he better be able to act great and actually look the part too.

The trailer is better than the movie. Superman has an issue many super heroes have: to much power, basically invincible yet inconsistently. It produces crapy enemies and stories.

Compare it to Logan, how much different in tone is it? They're in a similar tone besides the R gore and violence and subject of suicide, just that Superman is not known for this tone.

[@diegodelafuente5056]

@Mr Grumpy maybe if you didn't needlessly alter the core of the character? I mean, he's supossed to be the Light of this world, but now I guess he's just as doubtful and insecure as BATMAN.....

[@diegodelafuente5056]

@Mr Grumpy ok 1st, nice of you to call me an idiot over an inofenssive comment, real mature of you there 👌, 2nd, yeah, Superman is still at the beginning of his superhero life, but he should atleast RESSEMBLE the core character of superman by the end of the movie, but he doesn't, in fact he doesm't really change much in anyway, and that's because he never goes through development on his own, it's always people telling him what to do, Cold Pa Kent tells him to not be a superhero because people are gonna fear him (more on that later) and Windows 10 Jor El tells him to be a suerhero because he'll lead humanity in a better path, which never happens but whatever, my point is that the development never comes from Clark, which makes him feel like he has no actual stake in the plot, like he's just a passive plot device, and also, let's talk about Pa Kent and the Ideology of the Movie: So this movie's idea is that even in a grey, morally confused world, that someone like Superman can help bring it to the right path with his great powers but even greater Altruistic and Hopeful attitude that brings out the best in people, and traditionally Pa Kent embodies this idea, he helps his son become the man he is by instilling those morals into him, but instead, this movie and it's Pa Kent COMPLETELY miss the mark, because while the movie TRIES to be about hope and choice, it kinda screws up when it comes to the events of the movie reflecting that message, because while it says its about hope, it actually ends with humanity and Superman still not trusting each other, which makes the "message" really underdeveloped and half baked, also, this Pa Kent sucks for the same reason I just explained about the movie having contradicting Ideas. I could still go on about how the movie structures events poorly and thus has a weird pace with some SERIOUSLY confusing creative choices but im done, this is why I think Man of Steel is a Bad Superman movie and a Mediocre Movie

I always get teary-eyed when Clark says "Can I just keep pretending to be your son?" and Jonathan Kent says "you are my son". As someone who is adopted (and autistic) , this hits me especially hard and why I'm such a fan of DC comics. Marvel comics are ordinary people learning to cope with super powers (Iron Man, Spiderman, Ant-Man, Hulk, etc). DC Comics are gods trying to be human (Superman, Hawkgirl, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, etc). I relate more to DC comics because I've always felt like an outsider like they did.

But then this movie gave so much weigh to my knowledge about Superman like details about the reason why his planet was destroyed, and the newspaper company's name. I didn't even know who Lois Lane is until this movie. And again the movie was pretty dramatic, visually stunning, great pacing, beautiful soundtracks, and full with epic scenes.

[@neonrodenson1480]

j Hughes And why is that? You think Superman shouldn't be forced to make the hard choice; especially when he's as inexperienced as he is in this (incredibly awesome) movie? Everyone knows about his morality code. His killing Zod is the springboard for that. Besides, he killed Zod (and his lieutenants) in the comics, too, and just like in the movie, he was NOT happy about it. Huh! All these excuses about how the movie was badly written. Please! Not that anyone really listens to critics, but little to no critics had issue with the movie's story. But rather it's pacing and lack of character development; the latter of which I disagree with given the fact that the movie is destined to have sequels. It's not smart to put all your eggs in one basket.

[@jph4889]

Where are you guys all getting this "Superman must kill in order to develop a code which bars him from killing" thing from? I never needed to kill anyone to know I shouldn't kill anyone. If you've read any Superman comics you know that his ethical code comes from his parents. Of course, the parents in this film are pretty much worthless, and tell him to let people die, so yeah, it's not surprising that he spends the whole movie punching the shit out of people instead of saving them. Yes, Superman killed Zod in the comics, but that was after years and years of following a very strict code. The whole point of that storyline is that Superman subverted his principles far from home, and that this was a major, major mistake and that it would follow him and cause his Justice League teammates to respect him less and treat him differently. There are no repercussions for killing Zod in this film. It was simply the solution to a problem. I don't care about critics. I'm a fan of the character. This was not a Superman film. This was a film about a guy with Superman's powers being the shit out of people. Superman should inspire hope. He should be a pristine example of what people should do if they want to be good people. That's the point of the character. I assume that you're not a fan of the character, and that's why this subversion of the character doesn't matter to you.

[@neonrodenson1480]

j Hughes I'm actually a major fan of the character. I'm just, unlike you, accustomed to the idea of change. And it's called an ORIGIN STORY. How can Superman stress the importance of never taking the life if he's never been down that road himself? And his parents aren't worthless. They weren't telling him to let people die. They simply didn't have an answer for him. Let's face it. In the 70s, we may have been open to the idea of a powerful alien protector. But in this century, we'd all be mistrustful and freaking out. Not everyone would be as accepting and understanding as the Kents. The movie was proof of that. Clark was treated so badly growing up because people suspected he was different. His mother on Krypton Lara, she said this herself. That he'd be an outcast. A freak. They'd find him, torture him, experiment on him, and if not, he'll be on the run for the rest of his life. I'll give you the comics one, but it doesn't change my point about the fact that he has STILL killed before. But I guess a better comparison would be his killing of Doomsday because he had no alternative. As for the repercussions, that's why we have sequels. Can't cram everything in a movie that's already more than two hours long. And you're right. This ISN'T an honest to goodness Superman film. Hence why it's called "Man of Steel". This was a sci-fi-first-contact-threading-the-needle origin movie. It's not about Superman. It's about the man who will become Superman. It's his first time out as a hero. He's been put in a position to save lives, yes. But not the whole world. He has to learn and evolve into the being you are so fond of. The inspirations of hope and the pristine example of all things good. Otherwise, it won't leave a lot of room for continuing his story. And it's not a subversion of him. It's a reinvention. He can't be the same perfect boy scout he's always been if he is going to stay relevant. Those days are over and they are never coming back.

[@jph4889]

>How can Superman stress the importance of never taking the life if he's never been down that road himself? Again, I have never killed anyone.

Not everyone would be as accepting and understanding as the Kents. The Kents should be the best people EVER. They're the reason he's Superman. I'm absolutely uninterested in "realism" as an excuse to undermining the whole reason the character exists. >I'll give you the comics one, but it doesn't change my point about the fact that he has STILL killed before. But I guess a better comparison would be his killing of Doomsday because he had no alternative. As for the repercussions, that's why we have sequels. Can't cram everything in a movie that's already more than two hours long. I'm not even saying he should never kill. I'm saying he should not be killing anyone in his first, second, or even 65th occasion in which he's fighting bad guys. >He has to learn and evolve into the being you are so fond of. The inspirations of hope and the pristine example of all things good. Otherwise, it won't leave a lot of room for continuing his story. Completely untrue. In the comics he's Superman from the start. He might not know exactly how to go about being an awesome superhero, but he knows what to do and what not to do as far as morality is concerned. Since he was a boy scout from the start that means all the stories we've read since John Byrne's Man of Steel have developed his character. So it's not like we need to start with him as a douchebag and then have him kern to be Superman. That's totally unnecessary. >And it's not a subversion of him. It's a reinvention. He can't be the same perfect boy scout he's always been if he is going to stay relevant. Those days are over and they are never coming back. If he's not a boy scout he's not Superman.

Those days are still here, it's just that Christopher Nolan and David Goyer thought the idea was corny and tried to make the whole thing dark, gritty, and oppressively serious. EVERY OTHER Superman property in existence has him as a boy scout figure of hope. All the best, classic Superman stories portray him that way - Kingdom Come, All Star Superman, Byrne's Man of Steel, Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow, For All Seasons. Superman doesn't need to change to stay relevant. Being a decent human being isn't ever going to go out of style.
