Not going to really get into the movie, but at the end of it when everything is resolved and Clark Kent lands his job at the Daily Planet he's rocking the typical Clark Kent glasses and I swear it the spitting image of Keuchly in his glasses.  I know we've all made comments on how he looks like Clark Kent with his glasses, but the imagery in this legitimately looks like they were inspired by Keuchly's manliness.

 

PS:  That Zod guy who runs this place is a crazy douche bag.

I saw it as well right after This Is The End.

My only question is why does every movie these days seem to involve the destruction of Earth? I'm about ready for a decent film that didn't involve annihilating the planet; at some point you wish they'd just do it already.

Lol, nice Zod jab.

As for the film, Snyder basically made Whedon's Avengers appear like child's play.

 

I'd take the Avengers over this.  The noise and visual effects were just too much for too long, it completely exhausted me.  Wish it was a little more light-hearted too, it seemed to take itself a bit too seriously and was nowhere on the same page as the Batman movies in terms of plot and thematic elements.  It felt like a transformers movie with a very serious tone.

I feel that way about the white house.  Ever since Obama has been president it seems like every third action movie blows up the white house, or terrorist attack the white house.  Oh and don't even mention the poor Washington Monument. ......

Meh, I'm happy that MOS didn't follow Marvel Studios' cookie-cutter formula. Some comic fans might precieve an adaptation with gravitas as pompous but I don't. Kal-El was more relatable this way than some perfect dork.

The action sequences puts The Avengers to shame in my opinion, especially since Whedon can't seem to escape his TV formatting.

 

Oh no I find most of the Marvel movies pretty... well yeah cookie cutter.  I really liked the Avengers though.  Just felt they handled the juggling of all those characters perfectly and it was a really fun movie that wasn't delusional about what it was.  I did like the way Clark/Superman was portrayed - he was very relatable.  The action was incredible, it was just absolute sensual overload.  The final fight sequences I swear lasted for 40 minutes though and like Revenge of the Sith, after the initial emotion of the fight wears off it just seemed to drag onnnnn and onnnn through the explosions and flying.  IDK its obviously a personal difference in taste.

Just saw the Man of Steel, huh? What was Smitty doing earlier tonight?

 

Sure is nice to have a third name for Supes. Now Cam can be Superman, Luke can be Clark Kent, and Smitty can be the Man of Steel.

 

Memo to the rest of the Panthers: don't get a visible Superman tattoo and fug this up, unless you WANT to have the nickname of Kal-El.

 

Or Superboy.

 

Or Supergirl.

Yeah, it's getting a little repetitive. I think the sequel should go smaller, but man... the action and scale for this film was insane. Dragonball Z level of crazy.

 

that really excites me. gonna check it out this weekend from that comparison alone.

Can't believe an adult actually used Dragonball Z to describe something.  My kids stopped watching that poo when they were like 10 years old.

It was an ok movie. Basically very little story, character development, dialogue, and a poo ton of violence. That has to be the most violent super hero movie of all time.

Good cast. Looked really good. Was just an empty shell though. Lacked storytelling skills.

Better than superman returns, not nearly as good as Superman and Superman 2 from the 70s and 80s.

      ESPN's Barnwell Early Offseason Grades

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46683459/2025-nfl-offseason-tiers-32-teams-best-worst-signings-trades-draft-barnwell Slightly above expectations Highlights: Trading WR Adam Thielen, signing RB Rico Dowdle (one year, $2.8 million), drafting fifth-round TE Mitchell Evans   Disappointments: Re-signing CB Mike Jackson (two years, $10.5 million)   The Panthers chose the right time to move on from Thielen, who had been productive in Carolina before being dealt to Minnesota just before the season. He has been lost in the shuffle there. While the Panthers won't see the fourth-round pick that forms the bulk of the return for Thielen until 2027, getting out from what was owed to a player who has 47 receiving yards in Minnesota is an easy victory. Dowdle has been a revelation since moving into the starting lineup after Chuba Hubbard's injury, becoming one of a handful of players in NFL history to produce consecutive 200-yard scrimmage games. The former Cowboys back was averaging 3 yards per carry before the opportunity, so I'm not sure I would count on him playing like Jim Brown the rest of the way in a rotational role alongside Hubbard. But it's hard to argue that Carolina hasn't already gotten its $2.8 million worth out of the 27-year-old back. Most of Carolina's biggest moves are either tracking to be right around expectation (drafting wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan) or have been impacted by unexpected injuries (signing defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton). Jackson was a pleasant surprise as a starter in 2024, and he hasn't been terrible this season, but most of the big plays against Carolina have come on throws against the former Seahawks cornerback. Overall, though, this has been a very reasonable offseason for the Panthers

      How would you have taken the guy who was picked ahead of us? That makes no sense.

      I am not denying that things were said. That wasn’t my point. But carry on this will go nowhere.    Oh snap, the post calling him a liar was like three posts before you jumped in.  what do you get, a post a page?
