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.

      The Evolution of the Panthers WR Room from 2023 to 2025

      I'm more impressed with the UDFA that the guys they have drafted in the first the last 2 years. A whole lot of prove it is still needed before any improvement should be talked about seriously.

      PANTHERS @ HURRICANES ROUND 3 GAME 1

      By PantherChris · Posted

      While I don't believe its a must win, (we have been better on the road this post season) it is definitely A NEED TO WIN the longer this series goes the more pronounced the Canes advantage on rest and health will be! If we hold serve at home in games 1 and 2 guaranteeing a 6 game minimum series for them if we lose the road games..... by the game 4 and 5 I expect them to be beat they have played A LOT OF HOCKEY the last three years, they have MINIMAL rest off a more physical than one might have expected series vs the leafs.... you know Tampa took their pound of flesh in round 1 from them. Combine all that with the fact that even though this year's canes squad isn't as talented as last years this IS a better squad than the one they swept last time that had McKenzie Mckeathern on line 1 Turbo with a broken hand a banged uo and eventually concussed Slavin (and even though it was a sweep 6 OTS and 4 1 goal losses is hardly dominant)  This year Bob hasn't been superman (hes probably gonna still have a great save percentage agiast us just a side effect of our style) Thatchuk is maybe 50% (3 game winners agiast us) their defense no longer has Gudas and several other downgrades.  While the Canes have a healthy and performing Svechnikov along with other big guys to counteract florida like Carrier, Jankowski, Robinson.   I by know means think it will happen but I either see this as a low scoring dog fight or a series were the canes surprise and end up dominating.
