Batman and Robin. It was so bad I almost puked. There were absolutely no redeeming factors for it. It was downright awful.

Yeah, in case you couldn't tell, I really didn't like that movie.


i don't know why people dislike this film that much. I was a child, when I first watched, and I thought was entertaining. I know it isn't a good film by any means, but why the hate? Look what piece of dialogue :

 

"Robin: [checking out the Batmobile] I want a car, chicks dig the car.

  Batman: This is why Superman works alone."

 

Better than Shakespeare.

Aside from the visuals, the acting, and every line spoken by Mr. Freeze, I think people hate that movie because of how much they liked Tim Burton's Batman. Batman & Robin was part of that same series and it killed it. To see the series downgrade that much in 8 short years was devastating. Not to mention, it's failure at the box office is what partly spelled doom for Tim Burton's Superman movie (even though he had nothing to do with B&R) and it set back Batman in films for almost a decade, even preventing the creation of a Justice League movie. So one could argue that had it not been for Batman & Robin, DC might have had their Cinematic Universe years before Marvel.

those arent bad well 300 and watchmen , if you read the source material i'd say they are great adaptations, tbh i think they are good movies for what they are made from, was never gonna appeal to alot of people tbh

I hate stuff that sticks TOO close to the source material when adapting to a film.  It's also why I don't like the animated version of Dark Knight Returns.  They need to update stuff from the 80s to fit modern times and adapt certain story elements to fit the medium of film.  For some reason with comics, novels, and graphic novels people always seem to get mad if anything changes.  They are adaptations not copies and when they copy it just shows lack of originality and laziness clothed in "respecting the source material"

a self contained story needs pretty much to stick to original material or pissing off the fans alot , for reals guess thats why iron man 3 never bothered you

but watchmen and 300 , you can't modernize or adapt those stories looslely or they wont be the same films , not all films need a modern aesthetic or update , that'd even be boring or disrespectful to the source material

especially when all hthe plot elemetnts for watchmen were made by the cold war era

like i said those movies are so much better if you undertsand the era they were made in 

context is needed

The bad acting as well didn't help, some good acting in parts of the movie but overall pretty bad. The pacing was so out of place they may as well have not even displayed Clark Kent in his younger years. I don't get it, how can a group of professionals with this caliber make a project so out of touch when  other movies were so marvelous? I felt literally no connection to the movie what-so-ever and I was so disappointed when watching it, especially considering the fact that I watched the Man of Steel trailer with Russell Crowe's VO almost every day in anticipation for this emotional movie. The movie turned out to be meaningless with no pacing tactics. /rant

Absolutely, they told it out of order to be "stylistic" and to make the story more dark and gritty, cause Superman is rarely that except with like the justice league or something.

I was really hyped, and loved it as an action movie, but it definetly lacked the depth.

Hopefully, BVS can redeem it by stuffing most of the dark and gritty with Batman and Lex.

I know, I have such high hopes for BVS and Suicide Squad. I must forgive...I must...

While I love Man of Steel while agreeing with you that the character developme.nt was kind of non existant (only few media forms actually gave Superman more than the Golden Boy personality, and this film kind of turned him into Jesus), I think the more glaring issue is that DC made the movie dark and gritty, like batman, probably out of neccesity to differentiate itself from the early Superman movies and Marvel.

The result was that we had to skip right into Superman adulthood, but early enough that he doesn't know what he was doing, the point in his life that would have the least character development. He hasn't met other more experienced hereos yet, and he hasn't even really had time to be well known.

The other part where he would develop his childhood to adolesence, but that was rushed and told anachronistically, so you can't see him develop there as well.

The effect of origin story mixed with anachronistic character development leads to disjointed and unapparent development whatsover.

But its also the best DBZ movie ever made ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).

An origin story can be told anachronistically, but it has to be laser focused, really only covering one event. Going from Childhood to Superman was way to broad and only captured snippets of what together would have been good development.

Also shakey cam

i'd say man of steel's issue was the script , goyer's a hack , they got him off for BvS at least

we didnt really get to know clark in this movie, he was too silent

small changes could have made the movie better

jonathan kent should have taught clark more about right and wrong though

they should have made clark play a footballgame which leads to the conflict with his dad before the tornado, and also no superspeed yet or his dad telling him to stay

giving his dad the same heart attack death , have clark lament that all his power didnt make a difference and he'd been using them for the wrong things

also kneel before zod line used once would be a nice call back 

og supes theme is amazing

zod and the kryptonians should have brought the fight to smallville not clark

emphasized clark doing damage control and saving people

in the bar, the girl should have warned him that the dude was like some dangerous dealer

COLOUR 

more smiling and joking supes , and charm

honestly cap in winter soldier feels more like super man than mos supes, they're kinda similar dudes 



Every Spider-Man Movie.

The latest Fantastic Four movie. It was kinda good in the beginning but not being loyal to the source kinda killed it in the end. Catwoman had the same lackluster feel.


I agree the beginning was good than got boring and meh. However for source material they folowed the Ultimate F4 origin but yeah it killed them since they fiddled with it too much. 

Worst film to me was Superman Returns (for being plain boring), Catwoman, Elektra, Daredevil, Batman and Robin.



As a huge fan of Kick-Ass, it really pissed me off how they changed the comic. It was perfectly written and would have been great as a straight adaptation. The movie want the worst ever but it makes me mad thinking of the wasted opportunity.
