Really really fantastic! Enjoyed the experience so much, excellent CGI, a really good story too to carry the action forward! Must watch on the big screen!
The Dark Knight movies were so much better. The second Batman held up a thumb attached to a thumb drive and said “thumb drive” I was absolutely done with this movie. The score and cinematography are good and all, but that’s about all this film has going for it. The best thing in this film is knowing that the Riddler canonically records vertically on his phone. The acting was subpar at best.
I just don't understand why people like movies like this. was it entertaining?.....no was it fun?... no was it interesting? ....no did it have any redeeming value?.. no.
Wow. Only a 69% rating and no comments? I cannot let that stand as it is, so here's a short review. I have watched this movie countless times since I first saw it, and it was one of my "must haves" movie collection wise. I still only have it on DVD, but in my opinnion this movie deserves an collectors edition re-release on blu-ray as well.
What we get is a modern kind of western, somewhere down south, near the mexican border in the 1930s, where John Smith, portrait by Bruce Willis is getting into a ghost town that is inhabited by two rival gangs, one of italian the other of irish origin. John Smith, being an excellent gunman, is drawn into this fight by accident, but instead of leaving as soon as he can, he sees opportunity, playing both ends against the middle for personal profit. But while it starts out to be great, in the end it turns out, that John Smith isn't as ruthless as he likes to appear, which is his downfall.
I used to love the 80s and 90s action movies with Will Smith, and if you do too, you'll get a movie that you've got to love. It's hard, it's brutal, it's Will Smith at his best, it has a marvelous scenery, this ghost town in the desert is perfect for the movie and adds to this gerat atmosphere, and the story - though simple - is not too bad either; plus point are the monologs and the ingenious plan that Will Smith has, and that nearly works out to perfection.
It's not deep in any ways, it does not have a deeper meaning, it has no added value, it doesn't even reinvent the wheel - this is credited as a remake of Akira Kurosawas Yojimbo, and the producers also list the heavy influence of A Fistful of Dollars (which has a nearly identical plot); then again - that movie doesn't have neither Bruce Willis nor Christopher Walken, both really great actors that play perfectly in this movie - but also all the other actors are really gerat and so in the end, you'll get a modern western that is fun watching - if you are into those things.
I know, 10/10 will seem much overrated for many, and I probably wouldn't have given it this rating, if I'd watched it nowadays. However, given the countless times I've already watched and enjoyed this movie (mostly during my youth, but even nowadays I do enjoy it from time to time), I think it has earned these 10/10 - at least in my account.
Well let's see... not funny, tasteless "humor" , gross and absolutely stupid. But I guess if that's your thing.
"buncha slack jawwed faggots!..this stuff'll make you a goddamn sexual ty-rannasaurus...just like mmee"
Everyone is missing the most important part of the movie.. That haircut.. W-H-Y?!
Jason Clarke? Really? Please Hollywood, stop hiring this guy... he's awful.
When you order a pepperoni pizza and they deliver a pepperoni pizza, do you complain they didn't serve you filet mignon? This film is the pepperoni pizza of action films. If you want an action film, this has got it. It's not especially new or revolutionary or poetic, but at least it's got action from beginning to end which is more than many other action films of late.
I really enjoyed this movie but the soundtrack was so awful it dragged it down for me.
I hated this movie. I laughed and cringed through the entire wasted two hours.
It did not meet my expectations that were set by the original trailers that Zack Snyder released. The fun parts are childish due to Whedon reshoots. Characters are deep, but they got dumbed down by reshoots, and the story is simplified.
The flashback scene is beyond awesome. Be sure to stay all the way until the end because the 2nd after credits scene is so good, it will blow your mind.
Also, I am hoping there will be a Snyder Cut because 2 hours just felt too short for this movie, and I know there are a lot more scenes that were cut for theatrical release, just like with BvS and SS.
All in all, it was a decent movie, but we deserve to see the real version of this movie as Zack Snyder intended it to be.

I REALLY don't get why most people didn't like it. In my opinion it really worked quite neatly
Having heard great things and seeing the rating on here, I had high expectations. It was mediocre at best and extremely predictable.
Best Bruce Willis movie since Live Free Die Hard. Great action flick well worth the watch.
Oh hey, it's February the 2nd, let's re-watch this for the umpteenth time. :D
This is THE DEFINITIVE Superman movie. With truly spectacular cinematography, a heartwarming coming of age story, enthralling action and perhaps the best superhero movie soundtrack ever from Hans Zimmer, this movie hits every beat for Superman fans new and old.
As a DC comics fan growing up, the critical response to this movie prevented me going to watch it at the theatre. I mean who wants one of their favourite superheroes being "humourless", "too violent", and "not epic enough"??? Well, I can truly sit here now having said "lesson learned". Never again will I allow critical response to prevent me from experiencing something I had waited a lifetime for. I will never get to see Man of Steel in the theatre, and this movie was shot for the big screen. Some of the shots are truly beautiful, especially when he wakes up in the ocean with whales, and when he learns to fly in the snowy mountains.
The story is often criticised for not having the kookiness of the original four movies with Christopher Reeve - and don't misunderstand this for hating on the first few iterations, I have nothing but fond memories of growing up with those films - but I challenge anyone to watch those movies now and claim that they still hold up. A truly great movie as well as standing the test of time, has rewatch value, and Man of Steel is one of the few superhero movies that I have watched time and time again. This requires a great story.
The story of this movie focuses on a boys relationship with his fathers, and his coming of age through those guises. His cautious and protective Earth father who tought him the morality and goodness we expect from our Superman, who sacrificed himself in order to keep his sons secret; and his Kryptonian father who encouraged him to embrace his difference and be the man Earth needs him to be.
A bonus is that the relationship between Lois and Clark doesn't seem forced. You get to see how she is a great investigative reporter and through her reporting she discovers Superman's true identity. By protecting it, you can see Clark's appreciation and the weight of not being able to talk about it to anyone - something that bothers him throughout the great flashback scenes as wonderfully portrayed by Dylan Sprayberry and Cooper Timberline - being lifted.
The character development of the antagonist, General Zod is done in a way other superhero movies can only be envious of. The message that this character, like all other Kryptonians are born with a specific purpose, in this case to protect Krypton at all costs, comes across well. From his perspective he is the superhero of his own story, trying to save his planet and his people, and that is the truest of tests for supervillain development.
And this brings me to the epic and controversial (for some reason) third act. As mentioned earlier, Superman has a strong moral code instilled in him by Jonathan Kent, which is shown throughout the flashbacks. Any observer who doesn't see that Snyders portrayal of Superman has the most morality of any Superman in cinematic history is simply not paying attention. He doesn't spin the Earth backwards to rewind time just to save his girlfriend like in the original, and he doesnt go back to Smallville and hook up with Lana because the love of his life Lois is ignoring him a little bit like in Superman III. That Superman, despite all of his displayed morality (e.g. where he refrains from fighting the bullies) feels he must kill General Zod is one of the most powerful moments in superhero movie history. He repeatedly begs Zod to give up his quest to destroy Earth and humans now that his quest to return Krypton has failed. Zod makes it clear as day that he will NEVER give up, and that he will destroy humanity at all costs as an act of revenge. What was Clark supposed to do? He was left with no choice! Add to this the fact that Zod's laser beams were inches away from killing a whole family, Superman reluctantly had to break his neck. Yet unlike other superheroes he did not gloat in victory, the pain and anguish in that scream that follows is filled with the heartbreak of breaking both his moral code and killing one of the few other fellow Kryptonians in the universe.
Overall, this movie gets better every single time I watch it. If you haven't watched it since it came out and had mixed feelings the first time, please give this movie another try without the immediate negative reviews that were extensively covered in the media at the time of release. It truly deserves it. Man of Steel is THE DEFINITIVE Superman movie.
I don't care what "professional critics" will end up saying. When this movie comes out, I'm gonna watch it. I'm gonna like it and I will not hesitate to leave a 10/10 here for this movie..... Because what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career watching every single Fast and the Furious movie. Skills that make me a nightmare for critics like you.... :smiling_imp:
However, there are sneak peaks of the cast on social media. Straight off the bat, I'm going to say that adding Brie Larson is a mistake. Just like adding Gal Gadot, and later having to unceremoniously kill her character to get rid of her. Bring Gina Carano back instead. She fits nicely with this diverse, inclusive and positive themed franchise that never forced woke leftist bullshit on fans.
UPDATE 10-JUNE-20203: Watching the 4K release at home. Pretty sure my home has suffered structural damage due to all the explosions... just within the first 40 minutes. Probably should have kept the volume down. I regret nothing!:ok_hand_tone2::joy:
Worst Marvel movie to date.... Filled to the brim with leftist ideologi and disgusting hate for everything non-woke. Only good thing is the amazing Angela Basset.
Lost all interest when Catwoman made a woke comment about white privilege. Wasn't good before that and turned it off after that comment. Don't waste your time, worst Batman movie to date...
I had a very low expectation because it's Chaves, but it turned out to be the BEST out of three Conjuring films! What makes this film really fresh is that it took a different approach than the first two. It's toned down, there's not many batshit crazy scenes like levitating, flying objects, or constant jumpscares, but it works as an intriguing experience of investigation about a demonic possession that was responsible for multiple murders and this case stakes are much higher that it could potentially put the Warrens at risk. It's very unsettling, the scares are nicely done, the sound is effective. The couple chemistry is far better in this and their romantic moments are less cheesy. Overall it offers a nice change to the franchise without sacrificing the quality of the first two.
I did not realize going in that this was only going to be ½ the story. Did WB state that beforehand?
I've liked it much more than expected from ratings! Funnier than most Adam's stuff, and Tyrion and Ned were great.
So this is what passes for a good movie these days? Good luck with that.
Dissapointed. No suspense. The dialogue wasn't clever or interesting. Seen better episodes of Columbo. It felt long. The music is awful. I think it's rated high by people trying to be purist or different.
William Peterson's acting was sometimes bad and his monologues were very bad soap opera.. I'm thinking Sunset Beach.
A more appropriate title for this movie: Black Panther Wokeness Forever
So here’s what happened: Some guy played GTA V and his stoned friend, who happened to be a producer, said: Come on, let’s make a movie out of it! I dare you! They laughed, called Michael Bay and the rest is history.
Seriously, the movie makes no sense, is absurd and absolutely senseless. Most of the scenes are just a usual day in GTA. I couldn’t stop laughing at the bs story and absurd „story“. Crank was better because it was funny with a purpose. This is just embarrassing and at the same time it’s not even the worst movie I’ve watched this year.
