This was an epic start to the DCEU. I'm excited! If you want to join me on that journey be sure to Like and Subscribe. I believe Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) is next yes?
yes then wonder woman
and aqua man and then it’s zach snyders justice league
Yes but watch the ultimate edition, the theatrical version cuts a lot of important stuff.
Yes can’t wait
My recommendation in order:
Wonder woman
Batman v superman ultimate edition
Zack snyder's justice league
Aquaman
This is a beautiful movie. Henry cavill is perfect for superman and this movie was criminally underrated until recently.
It is very much underrated movie. And here’s the funny part, I am a DC fan through and through, and I did not know this movie was coming out until six months after it was already released in theaters. They did a horrible job at getting the word out about this movie.🤣
@@chadnelson1777 I only knew it was coming ahead of time because I spend ungodly amounts of time on the internet, and I'm an insufferable Superman fanboy (he was literally the first superhero I ever got into as a kid). But yeah, this movie kind of snuck up on most. lol
100% mate. This film is epic.
Facts
@@nextgengaming7803 Truly epic.
For me, this is the most realistic depiction of Superman. The battle scenes show what would really happen if a bunch of super-powered aliens beat the hell out of each other on Earth.
The beginning of Batman vs Superman really hits on that level of fear that us mere humans would experience. Very powerful.
You should check this out on:
How It Should Have Ended
on RUclips.
They give a couple of alternate ways that the destruction of metropolis could have been avoided.
They also have a:
Batman vs Superman.
It's Hilarious 😅
@JooshaLoompa loved it… the ultimate edition version though.
True. At least for a young Superman. A more experienced Superman would probably move the battle either in space or somehere like arctic or above the ocean.
The cartoony CGI was the problem for me. All of Snyder movies have it, his CGI company's fuckin up big time.
His powers aren't what makes him relatable. It's his humanity that makes him relatable.
exactly.
Best comment in here.
So right.
“It is a remarkable dichotomy. In many ways, Clark is the most human of us all. Then... he shoots fire from his eyes, and it is difficult not to think of him as a god. And how fortunate we all are that it does not occur to him.”
― BATMAN
@@daleludtke7803 from where does this come? It's a beautiful summary of what superman is
He’s the first superhero ever created. They didn’t intend for there to be any other superheroes but him. That’s why he seems so OP sometimes.
I wish they wouldn’t hold him back for once 💪🏽
I don't think they didn't intend for any other heroes to exist, but he sure is the framework for many of them. But what many people who just take a glance at him fail to realize is that while superman is basically a god and should be admired, it is the clark kent side that is relatable, so (in my opinion), the best superman stories are those that impact clark kent the most
Batman clesr
I watched a documentary. They didn’t intend to make anymore superheroes but Superman. Until they realized it was getting traction and feedback from the public. Then capitalism took care of the rest, and now we have a beautiful culture 🙏🏽
The whole point of the character is holding back though. It's temperance. IE, knowing when to hold them and knowing when to fold them and knowing when to use the sword and when to use the pen and the voice. If you mean you wish they'd have more awesome action set pieces like this movie where he's allowed to demonstrate visually his power then I agree, but generally speaking what makes him Superman is that he goes out of his way to avoid big destructive action set pieces even when he inevitably finds himself apart of them.
@@VunderGuy No I mean that the live action Superman adaptations are always significantly weaker than the comic or animated versions. I wasn’t referring to his temperance because that’s just how he is.
The best live action version we’ve seen so far is resurrected black-suit Superman. We need more of him at that level or higher
You're absolutely right. Superman is massively overpowered...but I don't think that's what makes him "Super". The fact that he is basically unstoppable, invulnerable and near immortal yet keeps his strength of character in the face of immense temptation and chooses to remain a beacon of decency and hope is what makes him "Superman".
Strength of character is exactly what makes Superman compelling. Any of us would end up being somewhere on the Homelander spectrum if we had these powers, and Superman remains a true Paragon. Power does not corrupt him. He's like Captain America with Thor's powers, and we all enjoyed seeing that! haha
@@seriousleesgaming3042 the crazy difference is superman has the speed to literally end humanity pretty fast. Homelander can get his chin checked by a couple of supes and specialized bullets from a military as his speed and strength is limited.
By the time we get to justice league, superman is confirmed way stronger than planets in the snydercut as well. Pretty scary if he was real.
Many people forgot superman has weakness which is kryptonite and his emotions. He also vulnerable against magic user. For example Mr myxztplyx is his enemy and love to toy him around and he can't do anything.
There's also chapter in comic where he felt hopeless and he met that minister to asked for guidance. That minister actually from the comic and he also ex- criminal, later on became a good religious person after released from prison.
The extended cut of BvS spends over 40 minutes of run time with various characters discussing this exact question. Everyone from Luthor to Batman to Martha Kent, and they all have different opinions about Superman. That movie, at least that cut, doesn't get the credit it deserves for these intelligent scenes.
Superman comics would have been boring if he didn't have villains to match his general might. That's why most of Superman's villains are either fellow Kryptonians, aliens from other worlds/dimensions, or a psychopath genius human with the entire world's resources at his disposal (Luthor). He's also pretty vulnerable to magic, which means that he has a bit of a problem dealing with villains like Black Adam, or Mxyzptlk.
This movie has aged really well, so many chills throughout!
Yup. Agree. I loved it walking out the cinema to be fair. But I saw a tonne of backlash I was like what? However as time had gone on, people who were trashing it now have an appreciation for it.
very very underrated
I agree, i was very disappointed with it when i left the theater, felt they dropped the ball. still feel they dropped the ball but i literally watched it again two nights ago for the first time in 9 years and while i still feel it could have been a much better movie i really enjoyed it. The action was fantastic but some of the lines were stupid, like a lot of movies. would've been a even better movie if it had a different director. I love Zack and his action is awesome but he never should have been chosen to direct these movies.
My main problem with this movie was the Jonathan Kent tornado scene.
Solid movie otherwise, has aged very well.
@@BC08 I didn’t mind that scene surprisingly lol
“It is a remarkable dichotomy. In many ways, Clark is the most human of us all. Then... he shoots fire from the skies, and it is difficult not to think of him as a god, and how fortunate we are that it does not occur to him”- Batman. Perfectly Summarizes Clarks real strength. It’s not his godlike power but his humanity
Exactly. Batman realised Superman is more human than himself in that Martha scene in bvs
It's not humanity if no human is like that so what are you on about?
It's not humanity if no human is like that so what are you on about?
Of course Lois knew (at least in this version), she tracked him down as Clark Kent. She was just caught by surprise when he showed up as a new employee in what she knows to be somewhat of a disguise. Her "welcome to the Planet" is double loaded, which Clark definitely picked up on.
Felt same 😂
@@sarveshjalootharia1603 It has got nothing to do with feelings, those are facts.
Gotta remember that this is a rookie Superman who has never had to do battle with ANYONE of this caliber. The stakes are unimaginably high. Its not a matter of saving people, because Zod said they were there to eliminate humans. Even after stopping the world engine Zod states either Kal-El dies, or he does. Also with the military round the world likely ready to wage defensive war, their would have been an unbelievable amount of death. Supermans sole focus was to stop them, and as a rookie, he would hardly be aware of anything but that objective. Masterful movie
I wanted to say something like this but you articulated it perfectly.
I think alien or human Kal El is a beast!
Not just anyone of his caliber, he's never had to do battle with anyone. He couldn't. Fighting Non and Faeora are literally the first punches he's ever thrown against another person.
Masterful movie-AGREED.MOS is like an onion,so many LAYERS.I LOVE this film.
@@davidmeloche3563 Wasn't the other Kryptonian named Nam'Ek?
It’s a shame that WB executives are so dumb, DC has so many interesting characters and great stories and they still wasted 10 years but man at least they brought Henry back. Good video.
@@dcmastermindfirst9418 what makes you think I’m a marvel fan lol I’m not. I prefer DC dude, you can’t deny they messed up by not trusting Zack’s vision. They released that awful movie Josstice League and killed the dceu. The joker is not even part of the dceu btw.
@@enrk2195 ....& people cant seem to realise that its WB blind witted decision making that caused havoc in Snyder doing his work properly, & if his movies were really bad the movie wouldn't score more box office than its development budget was. Thats how a movie is actually categorised a flop or not. But no people pay more attention to equally dim witted critics & movie rant channels whose only thing is to howl & whine about every movie.
With their track record, I dread to think how WB is gonna treat one of my favorite DC comics character, the last Czarnian bounty hunter, my main man Lobo. Makes me wish the production team from Deadpool be the ones to make that movie if ever.
Please give it time, lets not lose hope
Your pfp😂 i cant breathe😭
I love how when Superman is in the beam of the world engine when his face is rippling, his face turns into Christopher Reeves' face for about three frames, greatest homage ever.
It's insane that this movie got so much hate when it was 1st released! It's only gotten better over time & I'm glad he came back to continue on in the role. *But, for Batman V. Superman, please make sure that you watch the Director's Cut version of that movie & just watch Zack Snyder's Justice League Epic! (For God's Sake, lol.)* Great Reaction, BTW!
i second that, watch the Directors Cut.
I believe that mainly the movie was rejected by the audiences was because Superman wasn't Christopher Reeve. Now with the benefit of time passing people have come to accept Henry Cavill. Also the Batman vs Superman (directors cut,of course!) movie and Snyder's Justice League allowed Cavill to grow on audiences! I can't wait for Supes to battle Black Adam in a future film!!!
1000000000% directors/extended cut. Makes a huge difference. Was looking for the comments on this
When I first saw this in theatre I really didn’t know how to feel about it. I left confused thinking this isn’t my superman. But as I’ve watched it damn near 50 times since I can honestly say this is my superman!! What an incredible film what an amazing performance by cavil.
And the score just blows me away every time I watch this movie, can’t forget Russel Crowe either such a brilliant role he played and zod was such a great villain.
10 out of 10
Same as me, I never been superman fans. I watch Christopher reeve version and felt it very wrong especially when superman beat that guy in diner. What worst is superman 2 became comedy.
Maybe because different era where back then much more honest and decent people around but I grew up in cynical world today, not in 70's. I didn't watch this movie until my brother forced me to watch it😅😅😅.
Later I felt this movie is not what I expecting which is cheesy superman. So I read superman comic and realize this superman is earth 1 from post crisis era and it's nailed it. Since then, I rewatch this movie many time and when there's reaction from RUclips, I will watch it too.
Although the pacing is quite tiring in third act, for me this movie is the best in DCEU. This is how comic book movie, question a main character to choose to be good or bad and making mistakes is part of learning. Every act we did has consequences
Same here. At first viewing I wasn't that crazy about it. Now it's my favorite DC movie.
Yeah, a lot of folks just did not get this movie. And still don't! Zack gave us a really realistic depiction of what it would be like if an Alien lived among us. How badly we'd probably treat him. How most people would be scared of him, scared of the IDEA of him, and would mistrust him immediately.
Haters of this film assumed that the movie would depict everybody loving Superman right away, but in reality... most of us would be terrified of the man. Zack decided to be honest about showing people HOW WE ARE, instead of us being portrayed as these "innocents" who need our kittens taken out of trees.
Nah, most of us would treat Superman badly at 1st, and wouldn't trust him. THAT is the reality.
When I was in school, in a chapter I found a quote, " Great things don't look attractive at first sight , but later they become unforgettable . On the other hand those things that attract you at first sight are also easy to forget ! "
Applicable for MoS and BvS ( UE )
Same! I was very conflicted leaving the theatre and wasn’t in love with it. I’ve rewatched it a bunch and it’s one of my favorite movies.
Despite that critics called this movie dark, violent and depressing, this film made a profit, $660 million dollars against a $200 million dollar budget.
And that is exactly why I love it.
The film ends with hope. Never thought if it like that at all. It's the most 'realistic' of all the superhero movies.
It's not even dark, it's serious and more morally grey, sure, but not dark.
@NEP84 Critics are Marvel lovers
That’s not particularly good loo
I don't think any other films have portrayed flying like how they captured it in this film because I remembered when I watched it in theaters when it first came out, I dreamt myself flying exactly like how they filmed it. So. Mesmerizing.
This movie is so fucking underrated. ZAck and Henry got so much undeserved hatred.. Excited to see you watch the extended cut of BvS.
God, I love this movie. Zack Snyder's whole DC trilogy is my favorite comic-book movie trilogy, and it started with my favorite portrayal of Superman on the big screen. I still listen to this soundtrack to this day.
Bro I always listen to this soundtrack lol
This soundtrack is amazing. Hans Zimmer is a GOAT
my fave soundtrack from it is, An ideal of hope. Man of steel and the snyder trilogy is also my fave comic books film.
The score is just Godlike!!!
General Zod's themes are so badass. Hans Zimmer really went all out on this movie.
I think the casualty count is like 5k 15-20% of the city was destroyed in the incident.
I love it because superman hadn't even been superman for 24 hrs. He was learning HOW to be superman.
People seem to forget that,completely.
And the destruction was an important plot point because it drives both BvS and Zach Snyder's Justice League. It wasn't violence without consequence. It literally helped end Superman's life eventually so he could be reborn with a clean slate.
Also it is funny that so many of the same people who loved the Superman Animated Series or Justice League shows, and DCAU, complained about the destruction when in those shows the action would be the same.
I love the dichotomy between his two fathers. The father who birthed him was a "reckless" idealist, someone who would help others at the cost of his own life. One who put potential above loss.
His human father was a pragmatist who taught him the importance of love, and of doing whats truly right, even when it's difficult or unpleasant.
And the Superman we get, is the best of both.
His father was not reckless. What other choice did he have?
@@orangewarm1 It doesn't matter if your options are all so bad that you end up choosing to shoot your kid off toward an alien planet with a jury-rigged technology.
Doing such a thing is reckless, even if it's the best possible option at the time. The lack of choices doesn't make it "not reckless," it just makes it justified. It's still a terrible friggin idea, it's just unavoidable.
I remember watching this movie for the first time and a lot of the scenes were cringe and meaningless to me. After all these years, a lot of those scenes now make my eyes tear up. The death of Jonathan Kent of all scenes teared me up. Understanding the full picture of his reasonings made me realize how impactful it was.
In 2013 when released - "The World wasn't Ready" ...
I was ready....u guys are just really slow
Man of Steel, Batman V Superman and Zack Snyder's Justice League is my favorite superhero trilogy ever. I can't wait to watch your reactions to them!
Yeah,I agree with you completely,too bad the big wigs are starting over with their BIG-GUNS-Superman & JL.
Waiting for JL part 2 and part 3. Although snyderverse no longer exist, Snyder still promising us he gonna directing Part 2 and 3 in future
Hey i am a DC fan too but comeon best superhero trilogy? Have you not watched Marvel out of hate or what?
@@bansalashu1613 i own every marvel movie, i've watched every marvel movie. I grew up with DC that's why those movies are my favorite
I agree with you my dude, the Zack Snyder DC trilogy is one of my most favorite trilogies and I'm glad I'm not alone on that.
This was a great reaction to a VERY good movie. I loved how you picked up on some of the deeper nuances of the story and film. Kudos to you :)
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
Agreed,a very good film,I LOVED this film when I saw it at the cinema,it tackled issues that other Supes films didn't.After all Supes is an alien pretending to be human.
Man of Steel is one of my favorite superhero films ever. If you are starting the DCEU, I highly recommend watching the Extended cut of BvS as it shows more than the theatrical cut (which was a huge complaint at the time) and also watch the Zach Snyder Cut of Justice League. Such a superior film to the whedon cut.
Loved this movie, still get chills watching it. Clark's anguished scream after he had to kill Zod was heartbreaking!
@BattleAngelFan It is almost pointless trying to convince people who are fans of Zack Snyders garbage movies. There is soooo much spectacle and soooo little good writing. I love Henry Cavill as Superman but, Man of Steel was a subpar movie that can only really be watched once.
@@fightindice6227
Do you dislike Watchmen?
@@javierb.4447 Not at all.
@@fightindice6227
So you don't think all Snyder movies are garbage, that's good.
@@javierb.4447 He is just fine when translating the works of more talented writers to the screen. The problem is when he does anything outside of directing.
This man is not an MCU fan he's a Marvel fan. There's a difference between the two, MCU fans have knowledge only through films and are riddled with toxicity and tend to think they're a superior franchise whereas Marvel fans know of the characters through the comics and appreciate that the characters they've read have come to life on the screen and would like the other franchise to prosper to enjoy the experience of another superhero genre.
This is what I like about your reaction, you have proven to be the positive side of Marvel, you are open-minded and unbiased. You have just gained a sub from me.
P.S
Oh, and I'm not excusing DCEU fans' toxicity. We also have a terrible side of the fandom.
Amen
Thanks! Yeah I'm keeping an open mind about it. I'm not going to try and tell people what's better, Marvel or DC.. or the MCU or the DCU films. I just wanna watch them and get into the stories and learn about the DC characters I'm not familiar with.
P.S. All movements, be it fandoms or otherwise, have a fringe of zealots. You seemingly can't have one without the other🤷♂
Or just love all of comic books. I do, no matter what company.
@@mrextreme This man gets it
I didn't appreciate this one when it first came out but damn if it isn't criminally underrated now.
Henry is perfect 🥰
It was criminally underrated then.
It's really nice when people just simply enjoy a movie for what it is and let it be itself. MoS had so much bad luck following it but the fact that it's aged so well and has been getting more love over the years makes me happy. You've got yourself a new follower, my dude! :)
“We are now slave to the world engine”
Underrated dialogue
This movie is so frickin' good.
A lot of people like to focus on the destruction caused by the fight with Zod but forget that it's miniscule compared to the devastation caused by the world engine.
Glad you liked the movie, looking forward to more :)
Welcome to the planet ;)
Right?? 🙄 He fought Zod WHERE the damned destruction was *already* happening, and tried to stop it. Everybody acts like Clark caused all that devastation on purpose. He was simply trying to stop the destruction, but got interrupted by Zod & had to fight him, and unfortunately, there were casualties involved from the fight. It's realistic AF but everybody cries about it cuz they want all of their comic books movies to be hokey, cringey, corny, colorful & MCU-lite.
We don't want that all that nonsense over here.
Fantastic movie imo, Zack Snyder did a brilliant job as did Cavill. Very underrated though, I think it's the best superhero origin movie out there. Not to mention one of the best scores that Hans Zimmer ever created. Can't wait to see your reaction of BvS, just make sure to watch the Ultimate Edition
Lol Batman is the best
this movie was so great. they really did the impossible and were able to ground superman. Zod was an amazing villain and the fight scenes are the best that i’ve ever seen. The CGI is great and holds up almost 10 years after. You can tell that everybody put love sweat and tears into making a modern superman and superhero movie in a different way than marvel.
A lot don’t understand the killing thing but it makes sense. He knew Zod wouldn’t stop and there was no longer a way to send him to the phantom zone and they didn’t even know about krytonite. We all know the “no killing” rule but this film gave a reason for the rule. After this film he had a reason to never kill again and to learn to take the battle away from civilians. Most importantly you can see how much it pained him to do it. He realised he’d killed the last part of his heritage and embraced his human side. All the flaws he shows are HUMAN flaws so the argument he isn’t relatable goes straight out the window. Amazing film and slated by pod shills who are only willing to accept the Marvel way. I own all the marvel but out of around 30 films there have only been about 4 bad guys I can believe in and relate to. Man of Steel did it with the first movie. Marvel is brilliant at what it is. This movie is different but just as good in my opinion as long as you’re willing to think a bit more.
The same thing happened when he was forced to kill Zod (a alternate universe one at least) in the Man of Steel run of comics (the superman most adults under 50 know).. he realized he didn't have a choice, and had to take a life, and the emotional trauma and journey he went on afterwards is when he truly became Superman.
Bro! You get it! I have said this in a ton of conversations about Superman killing Zod, at what point did he develop the no kill rule? From his earth parents? Hell no, from his biological parents? Hell no because he hasn't spent time learning his heritage, he learned it from dealing with Zod, and that sequel would have shown that, my god that would have been a brilliant movie to go with this one.
Only thing I don’t like about marvel is the constant one liners (jokes) every scene, even when the universe is at stake, they’re cracking jokes. Cringe in my opinion. I prefer the much darker tone like dc
No but that's the thing, by making Superman kill it takes away the thing that makes DC unique, what's a huge part of his character as well as many others. This literally IS the Marvel way as a result. Hence the disappointment.
All of this was a side affect of Superman not saving his dad too lmao, if he just did that he would've became Superman earlier and the ripple effects would've created the normal (ish) timeline.
@@DilettanteThat no it was a break from the norm. Every other character has been allowed to undergo changes except superman. Batman originally killed in the comics, then the by made him camp then the dark knight happened. People hold on to superman and don’t give him room. That’s why superman returns failed. It was an amazing tribute to Reeve but didn’t do anything new or take advantage of the modern technology to give him a decent villain.
43:34 btw the reason Superman screamed is because he realized he killed the last person of his mankind.
Just for context: 1.) The destruction of Metropolis is meant to be excessive as it leads directly into Batman Vs. Superman (The Ultimate Edition); and 2.) it's also meant to be a metaphor for Sept. 11
Great Reaction! A fellow Newfoundlander who is a huge DC fan and hosts a DC podcast, this film is so underrated and holds up with any origin film today! Glad you enjoyed the film and make sure you watch the ultimate edition of Batman v Superman 🙌
Bro earned my sub. So unbias and truthful. Observes the movie well and gets the stake and whole point of this movie. Henry is also the goat. Long live Superman the godfather of all superheroes.
Thanks! :D
@@NewfieMovieReactions next movie "Batman vs superman" (ultimate Edition).
Don't watch Theatrical one, it has has less footage!!
@@BATMAN-ys3re - Facts 😕 I hope that he only watches the Director's versions of these films. Cuz every time the studio interfered... the movies got ruined.
filipino dc fan lezgo
@@KabbalahSherry yeah... I think ultimate edition is what Zack wanted to show.... And justice league must be snyder cut... (JL theatrical is a curse)
Faora is hands down probably one of the most bad ass women in movies lol. Love her.
As a marvel fan, this movie was & always will be AWESOME!
AGREED.This is the only Supes film that shows him as an alien from another planet and I loved the scene in the church with the priest,where Clark wondered if he could/should trust humans.And I liked in Superman-vs-Batman,Supes mother said you don't owe earth anything,wise words.
By the way, please watch the Extended Version of Batman v Superman... not the version released in theaters. Zack had to cut out a lot of story for the theatrical release. The Extended Version tells the complete story! Looking forward to your review of that film!
Favourite superhero movies ever. Also really like the fact that it has such high consequences with its stakes, they save the world but lose a lot anyway. EDIT: He had your kill Zod, not murder, murder is the unjust killing of a person.
It’s so nice this film is receiving the recognition it deserves. Now on to Batman v Superman. Don’t forget to watch the Ultimate edition of BvS. I admit unapologetically that BvS is my favorite non-Star Wars movie.
Agree ... make sure you see Ultimate Edition. It's 30 extra minutes but without it the story/pacing/logic falls apart. Not to mention its mostly Superman/Clark/Lois scenes were were removed from the theatrical cut which made Superman not seem like a real character due to how little screen time he got outside of the action scenes which are basically all intact in theatrical cut.
The question is where we can find Ultimate Edition...
This movie actually challenges a new Superman and helps us understand his struggle as an outcast. I love this move. Visually stunning, with an epic score and visceral action that’s accompanied with incredible sound effects for your home theater experience. For me it’s the best DCEU movie and my personal favorite Superman movie.
She definitely knows he’s Superman. There’s no way she couldn’t because of all her previous interactions with Clark.
Yes, it is Superman's origin story and Yes Lois knows.
Zack Snyder, the director of the film, approached the origin story from the point of view of the 1978 version never existing.
@@anthonyclarke2253 but the movie ended closely resemble Richard donner superman 2.
1) general zod go to Kent house
2) diner scene
3) fighting in metropolis and causing destruction which many people hates but old superman did same too
People tend to flanderize Superman as being "invincible". Like any character, if you just hit him hard enough, he CAN be hurt/killed. As proven by his battles with characters like Zod, Doomsday, Bizarro, Darkseid, Metallo, Wonder woman, Hawkman, Kryptonite Man, even or Batman.
YOU DON'T KNOW SUPES LIKE THE EXPERT KNOWS... LET ME TELL YOU , SUPERMAN CANNOT BE KILLED EXCEPT BY A RED SUN OR THAT HE ACTUALLY WAS SENT TO ANOTHER KRYPTON LIKE PLANET. SO ON EARTH HE CAN'T DIE... Because OF EARTH 'S SUN IS NOT RED. ALSO EARTH IS NOT KRYPTONIAN LIKE. HIM DYING ON EARTH EATHER BY DOOMSDAY 'S HANDS OR A NUKE OR WHATEVER.... INCLUDING HARD BLOWS BY ANY POWERFUL GOD LEVEL 1 CHARACTER LIKE BLACK ADAM, OR EVEN ANY GOD LEVEL 3 MUTANT CHARACTER FROM MARVEL LIKE DARK PHOENIX OR SCARLETT WITCH ETC..... IS NOT GOING TO KILL HIM AS REALLY (DEAD) 100% BECAUSE THE MOST IS GOING TO DO IS PUT HIM TO SLEEP IN A COMATIC STATE BECAUSE SUPERMAN ON EARTH IS LIKE A RECHARGABLE BATTERY. ALSO SUPES CAN FIGHT THE LIKES OF DR.MANHATTAN BECAUSE SUPES AT SOME POINT CONCENTRATED HIS BODY IN BECOMING PARTICLE LIKE TO ESCAPE A PRISON. SO HE CONVERTED HIS PHISYCAL BODY INTO QUANTUM LEVEL PARTICLES. THIS IS ALL CANON AND OF COURSE IF YOU ARE NOT A SUPERMAN EXPERT YOU WILL MISS JUST HOW POWERFUL IS A GOD LEVEL 1 BEING IS CAPABLE OF. BUT IF WE TALK ABOUT GOD LEVEL 3 THEN WE HAVE TO MENTION DORMAMMU , GALACTUS, ETERNITY ETC....
He is once sundipped but then again sundinpped sups is a different beast to any other hero anyways 😂
in live action? NO!
I went to the theaters 3 times to see this. I loved it every time
Make sure to watch the Ultimate Edition of Dawn of Justice and not the theatrical version.
The way they represent Superman’s flying is second to none way more aggressive takeoffs than any other
Snyder's took inspiration from jet planes, which is awesome.
Love your reaction to the film, very genuine and you get the point of it all. Just remember when you get to Batman v Superman that you watch the Ultimate Edition and then Zack Snyder’s Justice League. No theatrical versions lol
This followed the back story in the comics on the main points but added so much more nuance - the scene after Clark saves the school bus and asks his father, "Should I let them die?" and his father's answer "maybe" is one of my favorite scenes in this movie. Henry Cavil brings depth to the story with a restrained performance when, in many super hero movies, overacting in the norm.
Many movies seem to have battles that destroy cities with few repercussions but the battle and damage done by Superman and Zod in Metropolis is a plot point in Batman v Superman so at least Superman doesn't get a total pass on that element of the film.
A couple of things...She does recognize him at the end. She knows. Also, him killing Zod is part of his journey on finally becoming the Superman we all know.
It’s his humanity that makes him relatable in this film. Every doubt he has is a HUMAN doubt. Most relatable superman ever. Also a film that doesn’t pretend the USA is all rainbows and starlight. (I’m from the uk and include us in this argument btw).
Lois knew it was him at the end, that's why she had a smirk. When she said "Welcome to the Planet" is was a way for her to welcome him to planet earth.
right on, man. you just gained a subcriber. so fun watching marvel fans watch DC movies for the first time.
Still my favorite DC movie of all time!
Same here
It’s top 1 favorite cbm for me
Likewise.
Great reaction! New subscriber. Life long DC fan and I'm excited to watch your journey through the DCEU. It has it's ups and downs but there are some great films. Definitely think Man of Steel is one of the most underrated superhero films of all time.
Great video man! Enjoyed watching you talk about the movie from your perspective. Glad to see a marvel fan enjoy the movie! Respect!💯
Much appreciated!
It’s always a pleasure seeing someone watch MOS for the first time. It’s one of the most underrated Superhero films of all time, and my favorite comic book film. I think the reason a lot people hate on this movie is because Zack grounded Superman in reality. It’s not just a Superman movie, but a great Sci-fi first alien contact type film, which is what separates it from other comic book films.
The origin story featured here in Man of Steel is pretty close to the original comics with a few liberties taken. If you have the time, I recommend watching the original Superman: The Movie from 1978 which is basically revered as the first comic book superhero film and remains a template for most comic book origin films.
The codex has the dna of all krypton’s ancestors and their civilization was based on at least in this film giving everybody predetermined roles
Marvel guy here but acknowledges the greatness of DC properties like Superman and Batman. This was a tremendously good adaptation of the Superman story. The citizens on Krypton are known as houses. The “El” family lead by Jor-El (Superman’s father) and the “S” on his chest is just the family symbol crest. If you go back to the beginning you can see all the Kryptonian’s have symbols on their wardrobe. Kal-El is known as Clark Kent on Earth. In comic book lore - Jonathan Kent dies of a heart attack on the farm. Clark has a surreal experience as with all his powers he couldn’t save his father. This of course was changed for this story and I think it was very effective.
This reac-video was(( and _shall be_ )) a bona fide Ray Of Sunshine for my Heart and Soul... At least a couple times, your reactions to some of the truly poignant moments(( e.g. the moment Jonathan Kent silently instructing Clark to _let_ the tornado take him; the moment we see Superman 'Dig Deep' to ignore the gravity-beam, fly up into and smash through The World-Engine ))made me get a lil... bleary-eyed. _You _*_GET_*_ IT!_
You've got yourself a new Subscriber!!!
Wow thanks!! Glad you enjoyed it! :D
I was really surprised but just how good this is. Absolutely love Henry Cavill as Superman. This is going to be a fun ride!
I've always thought it was a solid movie with epic moments. I just had issues with how Pa Kent died and the pacing. But enjoyed it!
You have to watch BvS Ultimate Edition which is the continuation of Man of Steel and then Zack Synder’s Justice League. Incredible reaction!
I’m so so glad you enjoyed this film. As someone who loves both the DCEU and the MCU it’s a real treat to see fans of one discover the other. I look forward to seeing your reaction to other DCEU films like Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Suicide Squad 1 and 2, Shazam, and, of course, Zack Snyder’s Justice League.
As a 37 year old huge Superman film I am glad to see that you enjoyed this. This was a different take on the traditional Superman, and I actually appreciated they didn’t try to copy and paste Christopher Reeve’s Superman. Not perfect…. But a great movie to start with.
Naw man, if they said it sucked.. they wasn’t talking about this movie. Top 5 favorite movie of all time.
"How fast Superman can fly" Well, in the 1978 Christopher Reeve version of Superman he can fly fast enough that he can reverse time so I think the scientific term is "really damn fast".
That makes no sense though well bring back time that is, so basically he was going light speed since time is different in light speed.
So he was flying faster than light
@@Dr.HooWho Well I think since the silver-age superman came on the scene, way back when, that he has been doing crazy stuff...you think flying slightly faster than light is something...he flew to a-whole-nother universe lol
This was amazing to watch with you!!! Can't wait for some other ones that follow this. I feel like when you get to the justice league that you should only watch the Snyder cut
I'm glad to see someone with curiosity and open-minded. This is highly enjoyable as to follow you discovering this great movie of Zack Snyder with Henry Cavill as Superman. I also appreciate your sense of observation and honesty.
Among many other things, like you I appreciate the deepness of the characters given by the actresses and actors. Really happy you are sensitive to this and other things too.
0:47 “someone’s either in labor or dying”
There’s not much of a difference 😭
Stay on this journey! Don't listen to others opinions, trust me the DCU is dope as hell! To be quite honest I think most people who don't like it just simply don't get it, the movies are very intellectual and very sophisticated in a very dynamic way. Just wait till you see Batman versus Superman, I suggest get the directors version, it explains a lot more than the theatrical version.
How can we see the director versions of that..
@@ronalokram9992 it’s the ultimate edition and it’s on HBO Max
She knows at the end. She is in on the secret. It was a clever way to work around the fact that the only person close to both Superman and Clark could not tell the apart because of the glasses and posture. She is the only one that know.
Awesome reaction mate, loved it. Keep up the great work 👍
Man of Steel is one of the greatest superhero/comic book films ever made.
So glad you started this franchise!. Man of Steel is one of my favorite superhero movies. Subscribing for your BvS UE Reaction
A couple things to note: please make sure you watch the Ultimate Edition of Batman v Superman, and that you watch Zack Snyder's Justice League 2021 (not the 2017 version) :)
Superman may be overpowered, but the thing that makes him superman is the man, the man who has all the power and still does good, doesn't let it corrupt, Snyder really made a masterpiece
Welcome to the DC and congratulations on watching one of the greatest (IMHO) superhero films of all time! I"m happy you enjoyed it. New subscriber here!
Just recent news. Over this week DCEU has become the DCU. 🎉
can’t wait for you to reach Zack Snyder’s Justice League eventually, i think you’ll enjoy it. on a side note, General Zod was the main villian of Superman 2 from 1980, if you wanna see how they tackled a character like that back in the day, it would be cool to watch those older movies as well.
One of my favorite movies. I was won over with the trailer of Clark as a boy with the red cape in the yard. Wonderful shot, very beautiful cinematics.
So glad you are enjoying the movie -- I saw it 3 times in the theater -- one of those times was on the 4th of July, 2013 -- which I thought was befitting!!💛💙❤️💋💯
Welcome to the DCU. Glad you enjoyed it with open arms
Arguably the best superhero movie of our lifetime... a masterpiece of the human condition ironically spearheaded by a protagonist who is not.
Both Superman and Spiderman basically have the same setup and with opposite way of life..source of power, parents, love life, career and more.and thats why we no matter dc or marvel fans love both Superman and Spiderman..they relate and teach us so much..
I love that you kept an open mind about this. You see he had no choice but to kill because zod would not stopped he would have killed EVERYONE
To me, Henry Cavill is the ultimate Superman, but if you have the time, I recommend watching "Superman Returns" for a slightly different take on the hero. It's a one-off sequel to the Christopher Reeve version of the character, but Brandon Routh (Clark), Kate Bosworth (Lois), James Marsden, and Kevin Spacey (Lex Luthor) all do a really nice job of creating a very human story for the Man of Steel.
Superman Returns è veramente orribile
It is a sequel of the second Christopher Reeve Superman movie and ignores 3and 4. It's actors do a good job.
I think "Superman Returns" was good and very fun. That's how most Superhero movies were then. Except Nolans (Music: Zimmer) "Batman Begins" that took everything to a new level.
@john mara Nessuno ha amato Superman returns. È orribile e fuoritempo
@@dc_cristianz They kept the John Williams music, that was good. OK, I agree on that Reeves was the best Superman.
I remember exactly what went through my head when I saw the amount of destruction in the city, I was like "Gosh damn take it to space, can't hurt anything up there!".
Well they took it to space, and I was like "FINALL- Oh! Well there goes a satellite" **facepalm** 😂🤣
But to be fair though, when several god-like aliens start going at it in a city, that amount of destruction is bound to happen, add to that the military throwing everything they've got at them because the fate of the entire world hangs in the balance... they're not gonna worry about 1 city.
Exactly. The military didnt care whether smallville was leveled if it meant stopping the aliens from invading
Even if Supes flew into space the Krypton soldiers wouldn't have chased after him,no need too,they'd just lay waste to the Earth without anyone to oppose them.The Krypton soldiers chose the battle-field-EARTH-not Supes,their plans as spoken by them was to lay waste to the Earth and kill millions. ( big plot-hole tho,they could've just as easily chose Jupiter or Saturn as a new Krypton,but,then we wouldn't have much of a movie,would we. LOL.
@@powerbadpowerbad you mean general zod
@@powerbadpowerbad maybe it's because Jupiter and Saturn are unlivable and don't have resources
@@hannahfaye3680 That's what the world engine was for,to terra-farm the environment to match Krypton,plus they were an advanced race and could easily create their own resources.Just a BIG plot-hole that no one addresses.
It was really fun rewatching this with you.. awesome movie 👌🏾
Nice to hear a MCU fan actually like and understand this movie
This movie was art at its greatest 🙌 👏 😍
This is going to be a fun journey
Indeed!
I really enjoyed your reaction to this - I've saw a few of your before, but imma press the subscribe button
I wish with all my heart I could go back in time and experience getting to know Superman with new, fresh, eyes full of wonder. I've just sat and watched you, watching this character and learning about him and saying things like, does Superman have super hearing as well? Lol. This character I've loved for 30 years. This character I know everything about. I felt like I just met him. This was great. Glad you enjoyed my favorite movie. I also love most things Marvel as well, but DC is where my heart is, so of course, my heart is often broken...
You shouldve started with the 1978 Superman movie + sequels and the 1989 Batman movie + sequels. They're technically not a part of this cinematic universe, but they are very good
I hope to get to those some day. :)
@@kingdomsheir7 If we’re speaking extremely technically (the multiverse) then they are connected. Those films are connected to the Arrowverse due to multiple cameos, and the Arrowverse is connected to these films due to the Ezra miller cameo. Like I said though, this is extremely technically. I don’t view them as connected at all.
@@kingdomsheir7 Man of Steel is in the same universe as the rest of the DCEU pal
I've always loved this movie. Man Of Steel just feels special, it feels like they did Superman justice (no pun intended) for the current age.
I like the way you analyze the film! You really gage the weight of situations well. Such as the reveal of aliens being Zod instead of Superman. Just wait to see how the social elements impact the next movie
Good reaction, when you get to Batman vs Superman, PLEASE react to the Ultimate Edition, AKA, the version that lasts about 3 hours, since everyone prefers that version over the theatrical one.
If you think Michael Shannon is good in Man of Steel, then go and watch a whole season of Boardwalk Empire to see how good of an actor this man is. Spoilers: he's insanely freaking good.
Shannon as Zod is my favorite villian with Thanos as 2nd,yes Zod was willing to destroy Earth to recreate Krypton ( he could've just as easily did this on Saturn or Jupiter-PLOT HOLE !!! LOL.But then no movie )he was trying to save what was left of his race,but,as Supes said-Krypton had it's chance.
