  • I'm with Rob on this one: I loved MOS, warts and all. It wasn't perfect, but what it got right it got VERY right. And yeah, I can't wait to own it on blu ray.

      I'll end up getting it on Blu-Ray. But, it was still a failure.

      I liked STiD more than this.

        I will grant that STID was better paced, but it kept stepping on its own dick with the stupidity of the script.

        MOS hit me right with the emotional beats and the action scenes, and the script (while not perfect by any means) was at least consistent. It needed an edit, and it unfortunately devolved into swirling special effects a few too many times, but it was still an overall success for me.

          Man of Steel had Jonathan Kent commit suicide by tornado.

          That was too much for me. I could accept everything else. Even, the Zod neck snap. But, suicide by tornado is where I draw the line.

          • STiD made me actively made half way through and I'm not even a huge fan of Star Trek.

            Man of Steel did not. Man of Steel wins for me.

              Star Trek into Darkness was innocently dumb.

              Man of Steel was proactively dumb.

              Pick your poison.

                That didn't bother me in the slightest. To cite IN BRUGES, a man has to have principles, and Pa Kent followed his principles to the end. At that moment, he felt that it was the right thing to do.

                  STID was excessively, insultingly dumb to the point that it slapped me in the face.
                  MOS had minor errors but nothing to take you out of the movie while you were watching it.

                    MOS had a lot more than minor errors.

                    MOS - made by someone who wanted to curtail the property into something he could understand.

                    STID - made by someone auditioning for the film they wanted in the first place.

                    • STID is far from innocently dumb. Not with the film spreading its truther bullshit.

                        That's Orci and that's one read of it. If anything, it shows how disjointed the creative process was on it. While it also shows that the producers, the director and the writers all had three wildly different agendas going on at the same time.

                          Abrams signed off on it. He equally gets the blame.

                              True enough, as he did bring in Lindelof to tone it down. But, then it got just a little dumber with the whole "one draft, one take" approach.
