RE: [VIDEO] Man Of Steel (Superman)
Shouldn`t have said anything. No sign of bloody furniture, so I`ve been sitting in all day for nothing. No Man of Steel for me today. :(
Last time I tell the missus when I`m taking a sneaky day off.
RE: [VIDEO] Man Of Steel (Superman)
Caught it at the 10.15 showing this morning and it was well worth getting up early for. Visually spectacular and very well structured (backstory told in flashbacks rather than a 30-minute intro). Hits the ground running and never stops. Russell Crowe is brilliant, and we see a lot more of him than you`d think. Amy`s good as Lois, and there`s a tiny twist on the known Superman genesis that came as a nice surprise right at the end. Also a couple of blink-and-you`ll-miss moments. The building site accident board that resets to zero and the tankers with Lexcorp on the side.
If there`s a gripe to be had, the 3D isn`t that brilliant, and the Kal/Zod punch-up is so fast paced and frenetic that at times you have no idea who`s doing what to who, and where they are on screen amidst all the collapsing buildings - of which there are many. metropolis takes a proper pounding in this, much more than I would have expected. To quote Sergeant Angel; "I just don`t think it`s possible to perpetrate that amount of mayhem and carnage and not incur a considerable amount of paperwork"

Oh yes, when Zod & his bunch are arrested and transported to a prison ship - try not to think of rocket-powered dildos

I also sniggered at the dildo thing. The Krypton opening is spectacular, I loved Crowe in this role. Shannon is great, Zimmer`s score is relentlessly stirring. Film of the summer so far.
I had a few niggles, I think the flashbacks are so brief and he gets his suit on way too early that I don`t think we get to spend enough time with Clark in the same way we did with a young Bruce in Batman Begins. I don`t think Snyder`s necessarily at fault, more that there is just too much in this film so some things just don`t get time to breathe. It really is a very intense mood piece crossed with a surprisingly focused action film narrative. It definitely allows Clark to be fleshed out in a sequel.
Also, the devastation on display here is like nothing seen before in a superhero film. General Zod doesn`t mess about and it`s quite scary how fast **** hits the fan. They`ve really created a big playground for Superman.

I dunno I thought they did the whole Smallville thing really well with Costner and Diane Lane (especially Lane). There was quite a bit of welling up behind my 3D specs!
But yeah I fecking loved it. Cavill is fantastic as Supes, and the movie is generally really well done, if a little batshit crazy! Looking forward to seeing it again.
I`m off on Monday to see this - very much looking forward to it!
I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which i`m dying are the best i`ve ever had.
RE: [VIDEO] Man Of Steel (Superman)
Why the fluff do people (on other forums *cough digitalspy cough*) keep insisting on saying that it`s a "gritty" new take on Superman? Were we watching the same film? And for some reason they`ve got it in their heads that Snyder decided to use CGI to morph Cavill`s face into Reeve`s at one point in the film? I mean what the fluff fluffing fluff? Why the fluff would they decide to do that, after spending how much money trying to get away from the classic 70`s Superman?
Stupid fluffers.
RE: [VIDEO] Man Of Steel (Superman)
We`re going to have to add fluff to the profanity detectors, which wouldn`t be good for f****_n_stuff!

Sorry I have to ask this, but really need to know how it ends:
SPOILER:
Did you get your furniture in the end, Mark?

SPOILER:
Lol yes! Turned up late, so I had to go to the early showing next day. Still lesson learned. Largely, don`t tell the missus when you book a crafty day off work for geeky reasons. :D
