MAN OF SHITE
12 years ago
Spoilers, just so you know.
I went to see Man of Steel yesterday. Fucking hated it. Normally, when I read or watch something I don't like, I just roll my eyes and move on, but this movie made me so angry that I can barely believe it.
Number 1: Superman doesn't kill people.
Number 2: SUPERMAN DOESN'T FUCKING KILL PEOPLE.
Supes is not a difficult character to get, which is why I was amazed at how thoroughly Snyder and Co. massacred him. Superman is the exact opposite of dark and gritty; he tells gritty realism to go eat a giant robo-dick. At the climax of the movie, Superman turns General Zod's head the wrong way round. Apparently he forgot that he could FUCKING FLY AND GET ZOD AWAY FROM THE PEOPLE HE WAS THREATENING.
Besides that, the movie was blurry, boring, and treated the audience like idiots. Apparently viewers don't remember what fucking happened an hour earlier and need it explained to them OVER AND OVER.
Finally, the Jesus symbolism. I get it, Superman is a messiah figure. You don't have to put a stained glass window of Jesus IN THE SAME FUCKING FRAME AS SUPERMAN. And you don't have to make Superman 33 YEARS OLD AND HAVE HIM DO THE FUCKING CRUCIFIXION POSE. I GET IT. I FUCKING GET IT.
Fuck you, Zak Snyder et al. Fuck you, movie.

Superman kills ridiculously overpowered baddies who are immediately threatening people. He does it as a last resort. There are several times in the various versions of cannon when he's tried to kill Darkseid. Whenever he DOES kill someone/something, he goes all emo and whiny about how he wishes he could have avoided it, etc. It's usually a major plot point in his character development.
The other time he kills people is as an accident, which makes him go all super-emo.
But you're right. It was a crap movie.
