Dont' feel like it. I never choose what movies I want to see based on reviews. EVER. I base it on the trailer and if the plot sounds interesting.

Some people are really picky. I'm not.

Its one of the best comic book movies I've seen in years. Snyder has made two of the highest quality comic book movies one can get in the form of Superman and Watchmen. Watch...his movies are never understood until they hit DVD or now Blu Ray.

- Inconsistent Dialogue
- Too many action sequences (dragged out too long)
- Poor character development
- Poor pacing

Superman Returns was the better film compared to Superman : Man of Steel

personally i'm tired of watching action films, so i didn't like it.

i also hated lois lane's role in the film. to me her importance (to both superman and to the entire universe for that matter) just seemed off.

why are superman and lois spending time kissing each other when the whole world is falling apart?

also, i don't think the action scenes were very interesting at all. person a punches person b through buildings. person a gets up. person a throws a truck at person b. person c punches person a through buildings. etc etc repeat repeat repeat.

i liked the movie up until superman shaved off his beard. it all went downhill from there.

It would be interesting to see sheldon cooper take on MoS :D

No what you dont understand is he killed to save 5 people. Whats going to stop him from just killing any other enemy that comes before him? Oh Luther you want to set off a bomb and kill everyone? Dead.

No he didnt kill Zod because he didnt have a choice. He never even explored any other option.

You just dont get it. He is Superman. He does the impossible. He always finds a way, thats why he is Superman. He is better than your average human.

He only had to because that is how the story was written. They could have added kryptonite and had someone help Superman expsoe them to it and then him imprison them. He could have done what they did in the original Superman 2 that had Zod in it. Any writer that actually knew the character and what he stood for could have written a better way around getting rid of Zod then that. Why not bansih him to the phantom zone again?

In the few times Superman killed in the past, the odds were much greater than 1 family. Take any other plot from any other movie and Superman would just kill people before the second act to stop there from ever being anyone in danger.

I know Superman 4 is a horrible movie but even in that movie he manages to not resort to killing something just as powerful as him. If even the really bad ones can manage to keep his character intact, I see no reason the "good"ones cant

This is all you need to know about why Man of Steel has garnered such negative reviews...

I found the movie to be outright terrible.

Character development was shit. As someone already put, he was like some boring fart floating through the film. At one point, I started to question if he was an android or something. Also, the dialogue was really awkward.

The action wasn't anything special. Shit blew up, people got thrown around, and some people got punched in the face. But I didn't see anything special about the choreography, and none of the action scenes were really epic.

And can someone remind me how it ended? I honestly forget because it was so bad.

Then again, I doubt its even possible to make a Superman movie that I would find enjoyable.

I felt the same way until a few years back when I actually read some of the better superman books. Thought he was an overpowered boy scout, but there are stories that have gotten it right. I actually quite enjoyed Superman vs The Elite. Its an animated movie but it has much better writing and dialogue than Man of Steel. It also proves that superman doesn't need to kill even when it seems like the only option - he can also outsmart his enemies.

Based on the complaints, MoS's detractors wanted another Superman Returns. Yet when Superman Returns released these same people wanted a movie like MoS. It's like Nintendo syndrome, no matter what they do. People bitch that they aren't doing the opposite.
