Superman fighting the World Engine in my opinion is the best "Superman" scene in this movie. It put him in a weak and painful state yet he didn't give up, rose above and overcame this impossible odd of destroying the World Engine. It showed Superman's unbreakable spirit.
Agreed
+Adeel of Steel while i agree with the sentiment, in a movie sense the scene altogether was a waste of time and cluttering an already full movie.
+Adeel of Steel YESSS!!
It's not an opinion, it's the best scene in a Superman movie period
Adam Moore pitch me a challenge for superman that isn't physical. im interested to hear this
I agree with John as far as comic book movies go this is a masterpiece.
When John Campea talks about Man of Steel he sounds like a nerdy dad using mediocre but enthusiastic Dad-logic to explain to family friends dat movie-info.
I like John campea, he can be annoying at times but I agree with alot what he says
Ryan Sumayo I like him too. I don't find him annoying but I do think sometimes he is too much. I'd happily disagree with a lot of his weird opinions, regardless of how off I think some of his opinions are it's nice for someone in a position like his to be both openly opinionated and up for discussion.
+Ethidian yeah, I agree
Man of Steel is indeed a masterpiece.
How?
+Leah James How? ruclips.net/video/euC94jVXb-c/видео.htmlh15m33s For the reasons they mention in this video. Even the hater of Man of Steel changed his opinion.
amen!
love the Sci-fi elements on top of everything yet
+Campea Watch the real John Campea disagrees with you.
Man of Steel 10/10. Amazing! Some people just prefer movies that appeal to children with stale villains where there are no stakes and you know everything will be ok.
You talk bad about Marvel but praise the hell out of MOS and say it's a 1o, clearly you fanboy.
Sounds like you just described Man of Steel to me.
+mrcooldeadly85 LOL ok guy. By yourlogic everyone who likes MoS is a fanboy. Go fuck yourself.
To me man of steel was not a "great" movie, it was a satisfying movie like revenge of the sith, that just showed you what you wanted to see rather than what was necessarily good for the story. The reason people loved it was because of the overly dramatic "dark knight" scenes with the godly music, which I must say so myself that the score was terrific.
+Gotham Wizard I still like the movie though, the way I like return of the Jedi for me it's a 7.5/10 and Michael Shannon nailed Zod.
The scene where superman flies through the world engine is fucking brilliant.
Makes u want to jump outta your seat or vouch for him
my girlfriend saw this movie 8 times at the cinema before I met her, and it's part of the reason I got with her her love of Superman like me... Can't wait to share BvS with her in 8 days....
+pinkspider28 Lucky you. I need a girlfriend like yours. Have fun at your screening of BvS!
+TheArthurAwesome cheers dude. We can't wait now
don't let that girl go
+pinkspider28 Imma steal your girl.
+pinkspider28 keep her
This movie does get better with each viewing. Its weird.
+Republic of MAC Agreed! I'm a huge Superman fan and I came out the theaters crushed! Then I took my nephew to go see it and it wasn't bad. Now I have the Blu-Ray and watched it over and over on HBO And it's fucking awesome! I don't think it's a masterpiece, but it's fucking awesome! Can't wait for BVS in a few days!
Maybe because everyone was expecting a super hero flick but when they first saw it they got more of a sci fi that just happens to have superman in it
Gets way better after each watch cos it's a way more interesting way to tell the story, plus the morality is more real world rather than the usual superhero BS... Oh and the sound/visuals are sick
I wish u had friends like this...I'm such a movie junkie and I have yet met anybody that matched it lol
i**
Tell me about it
Same
+Fred Harris Same, I feel like I'm pulling teeth trying to get my friends to watch a movie with me
Same here.
This movie was ahead of its time.
Hell yeah man of steel is freakin awesome this is one of the best comicbook movie's ever.
I agree with Christian. Gets better every time!
I think BvS will also be a movie you'll like even more each time you see it again. I myself liked MoS straightaway the first time I saw it. Age of Ultron on the other hand I didn't like the first time I saw it, but after watching it again on DVD, I began to like the movie more.
I loved it the first time but love it the more I see it.
Yeah I've re-watched it reasntly and I have to say, I like the movie a lot more than I did the first time I saw it.
+Marcos Farias I agree. I've seen Man Of Steel 7 times since it's release. I wastch every few months and it just gets better, and the more you see of the BvS marketing, the more you hear about the potential plot lines for future movies, the more you see the destruction and how it's going to be a pivotal part of BvS and other DC films, it just turns MoS into this unappreciated masterpiece.
+Joseph Su'a Totally agree man!
I went a long time before seeing this movie because I hadn't heard good things. It wasn't until late last year when I saw it was playing on TBS that I actually decided to watch it and decide for myself how good it actually was. I ended up enjoying it and I had none of the problems with it that I'd heard other people had with it. It's a perfect example of not letting other people's opinion of something get in the way of deciding for yourself how good or bad it is.
same! I skipped seeing it in cinema because a friend of mine hated it then ended up watching it about a year later and loved it.
FUCK YEAH!!
Man of Steel is a fucking masterpiece.
Love it!
Did you notice that Supes "kneeled" before Zod when he was trying to acclimate to the Kryptonian atmosphere?
I wish all the people who didn't like this movie to at least watch it again without judging all the negativity. It's really a good movie. Does it has flaws yes it does but it's not awful or garbage. For me who loved Snyder's Watchmen and Man of Steel, I can't wait for BVS. MOS is masterpiece for me!!
Lupe Walker
Totally agree with you. I love this movie. It's the best Superman movie. I'll go on the record to say that it's DC all time best only behind The Dark Knight, yes for me MOS is better than Batman Begins and The Dark Knight Rises!
When I first saw it I hated it, but I rewatched it last week and loved it. One of the best comic book movies of all time.
"I like these guns, they make cool noises" -Mark Ellis.
I have NO life to be able to sit hear for 2 hrs and watch 4 guys watch a movie...this awesome.
+Ricky Ward Umm Youre supposed to watch the movie at the same time as them...
ZEGS i my job allotts me time to be on my phone and I jus had to watch their reaction now.
Man of Steel was the greatest Superman movie, but also a great movie that I enjoy watching numerous times. Being a Superman fan but also being a huge Smallville fan it was great to see the direction the movie went in. It gave it that realistic take on Superman, with being an outcast and having great parents and valuing the positive morals that they instilled, to inspire to became something great and more.
57:47 Jonathan saw Clarks immaturity in Clark and his emotional imbalance in the truck and decided that Clark wasn't ready. Such a powerful scene from a masterpiece of a film!
The problem is in that scene they should have used a younger actor so show that, no way in hell does Cavill look like a teenage
+Yago Pacheco tbh I wasn't sure that was Cavil at first viewing 😂 now I have glasses so problem solved
Greatest Superman movie of my lifetime, perfect to set up the DCEU.
Glad to hear Mark likes the movie more after another viewing. My first time watching this and watching the movie with ya'll. Had a blast. MOS is a great movie. I am even more pumped for BvS on Monday.
Lucky u get to view it on Monday,rest the world Thursday & Friday
I LOVE some of the unsaid things in this movie. For instance, that the Kryptonians used to look to expand their reach onto other worlds, but over time they abandoned that and started mining the core. And at that stage, all their under-suits are black. Like, hopeless. But of course the ship Superman found and took away produced a suit from the era when they still explored and as a race, had hope. For that reason, the suit is colorful. That always made perfect sense to me and I loved it.
+Dylan Madd Even when Jor-El was suiting up to fight Zod, his undergarments also showed red and blue, albeit in much dark shades than Superman's costume. As hopeless as the last era of Krypton might've been, the theme of hope never seemed to have left the House of El. This movie maybe way too subtle for its own good, but that's why I love it. You can tell Snyder really respects the "show, don't tell" aspect of film making.
Yes they are finally doing this movie I love this movie
I think its incredible
I watch Man of Steel literally on a loop at work lol can't wait for next week! You'll see my ugly face in BVS
You an extra?
+Donny St.Pierre yes sir kind of like a upgraded extra I'm nobody in the movie. the picture on your left you'll see me right behind Amy Adams. in the movie I'm holding a crazy messed-up sign so they had to move me 2 rows behind her I was right in front of her. you'll know what I'm talking about when you see it. I was very thankful that Zack Snyder still wanted me in the shot. I thought they would take it out the sign digitally that's how bad it is.
I'm also right behind Superman me and him are the main focal point I'm directly behind him with my hand out in the Day of the Dead scene teaser trailer i have face paint on. also there's a different angle in the Comic-Con trailer I'm going to make a video next week I have some cool funny stories about the cast and director I was on set for a week I hung out with them. it was pretty cool I was blessed. if you ever have time please check out my Batman audition where I'm wearing the mask also my demo reel you will see the BVS scenes cut together and some other stuff please and thank you.
That's pretty damn rad, man.
+Ammar Nemo that's awesome man congrats, something to show the grandkids
+Donny St.Pierre Thanks bro I really appreciate it! look out for Aladdin 3477 I have a few scenes in there where I'm talking in the movie. the director! is Star Wars illustrator Matt Busch he's badass! it's like Bladerunner meets Star Wars meets Aladdin in the future! it Will be out next year hopefully!
Superman is the most iconic superhero ever and Donner's Superman was so beloved, that Man of Steel was bound to be divisive. Superman Returns tried recapturing the Donner tone, but ultimately, it was more of a Lois and Clark movie to me. Man of Steel was a fresh new take on the character cinematically that I think Snyder actually did justice to overall. There are definitely parts I didn't agree with (Pa Kent death, rushed relationship with Lois, last drone scene w/general, etc.) but for the majority it was visually stunning, great story, and very well acted. I also love that they went for more of a sci-fi/invasion type superhero movie than just a straight comicbook movie. I got more and more from the movie each time I watched it and because of that, I am so stoked to see the same tone carried over to BvS. Favorites of MoS: Destiny vs Choice ideals between his two fathers, to which, Clark initially struggles with; Zod believed what he was doing was best for himself and his race which made him a great villain; Hans Zimmer's score; finally got realistic Superman powers (which shows how he first struggles with them all the way into too powerful to control); Superman's first flight (DBZ style) and how much he enjoyed his first flight; The fact that Zod made him kill him, which truly showed how dedicated Zod was and how devastating it was for Clark to choose to kill off the last of his kind in order to save humanity. Overall a great movie for me and even if someone didn't enjoy it as much as I did, I understand, but it's still far from a BAD movie.
Love this comment.
Well said
+24Bit I praise it for being something completely different and Donner's Superman is one of the reasons why I think it's was so divisive. I didn't compare it to Donner's, just like I don't compare Nolan's Batman to Burton's, because they are two completely different types of movies that use the same characters. Showing him not as Super as we all know him to be was exactly what the movie was supposed to be about. His flaws show his humanity alongside his god-like alien powers. The movie is called Man of Steel because he has yet to become Superman. You have problems with it, I understand, not saying your wrong, but comparing it to other "bad" movies (fantastic four, The Hulk, Wolverine Origins, Green Lantern) I see this clearly above those. To each there own, but hopefully even if you didn't enjoy this, you go into BvS with optimism!
+24Bit All movies, no matter the critic, are all subjective. In the most simplistic way, good or bad, I used other comicbook movies that I consider subjectively bad myself, to show why I think this movie is not even close to bad, even if you didn't enjoy it as much as I did. So to shorten this up, Man of Steel in the majority (citing Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic critic/fan reviews) was thought of as a good movie. You sir, respectfully are in the minority. Man of Steel made more than enough money to warrant continuing on and developing this character even more. Batman v Superman being made was completely out of left field and was what nobody (excluding myself) expected from WB/DC. It has become one of the most anticipated movies ever and will truly kick off the DCEU. I will continue to love Man of Steel and Henry Cavill's Superman and have high hopes that the character will get better and better as the universe continues.
+24Bit The movie making process as a whole definitely has "experts", that's how we get our directors, actors, cinematographers, etc., but movies themselves are still critically subjective and their is no such thing as an "expert" movie critic. Attending/graduating film school doesn't automatically create an expert, nor does it make their opinion more correct in such a subjective matter. The only way one could quantify something subjective would be majority over minority and even then, it still doesn't become definitive, only considered. Even then, it doesn't make one right and one wrong, but it can state that Man of Steel can be considered as a good movie over a bad one.
love this movie
The soundtrack of this movie was incredible.
I'm watching Man Of Steel synchronized with this commentary.
I liked this movie before.. I gave it 7.5 before but after watching again with you guys I now give it a strong 9.5
+Yeezus Christ Nice!
Why do people complain about the destruction in Man of Steel but not in Avengers
+David Mendez Actually there is a difference there. The Dark Knight changing everything made for a compelling and interesting story. Overall a damn good movie. Fan4stick changing everything was the least of its problems, and hardly the thing people were complaining about. It was just a shitty movie from start to finish. Can't really compare.
+TheLad 1993 The destruction in Man of Steel felt over-the-top to the point where it paralleled the destruction from a Transformers movie. The Zod/Kal-El fight was mostly punch-punch building crash. Also, Kal-El was careless during the fight sequences, not because he was 'new', but he casually let things be destroyed that he could have stopped (example: Zod kicked a truck towards Kal-El, but rather than stop it, he let it crash into the parking garage behind him without a second thought). The destruction in The Avengers attempted to justify the situation by the team attempting containment to keep damage at a minimal, rescuing innocent civilians, working with law enforcement on the ground, etc. As far as 'real' goes, Lois and Clark's kiss was way out-of-context to the situation than any joke in The Avengers.
NMT Engineer Well if you watch the scene where Superman dodges the chemical truck carefully, you'll notice once it explodes he looks back like "oh shit I just screwed that up..." He was so focused on Zod and the fight at hand he wasn't even thinking about his surroundings. Perfectly explained/shown in that scene. Also, the kiss with Lois (although not perfect) makes sense because it was at the end of the destruction, and it was sorta like their victory celebration.
The jokes in the Avengers were way more "out of place" if you analyze the destruction actually going on. Could you imagine if right before Superman killed Zod, he had a Tony Stark one liner and said "This will be over in a snap!" And then Lois came in to throw a few more jokes around? People would've lost their minds. Marvel uses humor to mask destruction. so in the new Civil War trailer when they detail all the destruction from previous movies, the only thing I can think about it Iron Man throwing quips back and forth. They rely so much on humor and dodge the actual consequences in those movies that I really didn't care about the detailing of destruction from previous movies.
They like to whine about nonsense!
Colliders version of The Beatles as they once were and sadly never will be again. RIP Jon Schnepp 1967-2018.
the music in this movie is some of the best ever
Han Zimmer is the next John Williams
so glad schnepp was here for the commentary, this man is a superman expert. the death of superman lives: what happened is a great documentary
I agree. Man Of Steel is a masterpiece. I love this movie. Alright...I am about to sit down watch with these guys.
This film made me a Superman fan, I don't understand the hate gets from some people. Will watch it, TDKR two parter and Under the Redhood before watching BvS on Thursday.
Who's here in 2019? RIP Schnepp
People complain about all the death in Metropolis and use that as a criticism for this movie. Meanwhile, Superman saved the rest of the world. Zod and the Kryptonians were terraforming the entire earth and Superman stopped it. The fight with Zod occurred after Superman literally saved billions of people and Zod got pissed. Superman was just trying to stop Zod. Zod led the entire fight in Metropolis. Superman didn’t want to fight him, but Zod left him no choice. Zod attacked Superman and Superman was in self defense mode the whole time. Yes, there was a lot of destruction done to Metropolis and people died, but it was Zod’s fault. Think about how many more people would have died if Superman hadn’t fought Zod. Zod would have just killed everybody in cold blood. That is proven when Zod tries to kill those innocent people, therefore justifying Superman killing Zod. Had Superman just let Zod live, even more people would have died. People are just too narrow minded. All they want is laughs when they go to see a superhero movie. If they don’t laugh much they think the movie isn’t any fun. I had a blast watching this movie. It was so much fun. Best superhero movie of all time in my opinion. Tragically underrated. Masterpiece. And I’m sorry, but this score is best score I’ve ever heard, in my opinion.
Schnepp is the best. He is just geeking out watching this movie. During the fight scenes towards the end he is just cheesing like crazy. I love this movie and it's awesome watching others who love just as much.
Man of Steel is awesome movie. It's alot better than many comicbook movies.
masterpiece of a movie...can't wait for BvS
Man of Steel has some rough edges, some cheesy lines, and some lengthy showdowns, but it remains a bold and brilliant take on the superhero genre. I appreciate a superhero film that isn't afraid to be more.
Weird as hell Adidas commercial before the vid.
+Raphael Guzman that is how YT works ..Google is an ad company
Your future is not mine
I got Hardcore Henry
I love how there's people here commenting that they hate man of steel ON A COMMENTARY VIDEO!!! "I hate man of steel, but I'll grab some popcorn and watch it with commentary in the background" never change RUclips, never change
wow i just watched MOS with them and the movie just feels deeper, thanks guys
There are people who extremely underrate MOS....and than there are people who extremely overrated MOS. I think it's pretty good but not a freaking masterpiece like many people say. And I defiantly don't think it's awful. I'd give it a solid 7/10.
definitely*
I think it's a 9 for me.
+Captain Spider-Man i give it a 9 out of 10 myself
I'd give it a solid 8.25. Lois Lane relationship was weak and there were other problems but I'm one that didn't care about the destruction complaint
+Captain Spider-Man Finally a great comment, I love it. But I know that It is not perfect.
It's definitely in my top 3 comic book movies of all time.
1. Watchmen
2. Man of Steel
3. Spider-man 2.
Replace Watchmen with Dark Knight and I'm fine with that list
Wasn't trying to, just stating my preference
I love Man of Steel and I am like Kristian Harloff every time I see it, I love it more. One of the best comic book movies. I am so excited for Batman v Superman! Great job guys!
According to Snyder, the skull was one of the first beings of their civilization. Since their culture produces perfectly bred beings, all genetic material of their species comes from this original being. Each piece of the creatures skeleton was taken to different regions of the planet as a symbolic form of unification, but the council at the beginning of the film was the most powerful nation on the planet, so they got to keep the skull to signify their power. Each nation on Krypton wrote inscriptions on their bone pieces to show who controlled that piece. This was all explained by Snyder and other material that was released with the film.
Best line: "there's only one way this ends Kal either you die or I do" it explaines to the zod neck snap haters why supes did it
+Nick Snyder Supes always finds another way. Your argument is invalid.
+dragonrings14 apparently he doesn't lol
+dragonrings14 HE HAS BEEN SUPERMAN FOR LIKE 2 DAYS IN THE MOVIE!!!
Jacob Pamaj It's all just bad writing imo. Supes doesn't need a year one plot. If I wanted to see Superboy I'd go watch Smallville.
+dragonrings14 Tell me, how would Superman beat Zod without killing him in that situation? It's like your average Joe on this planet taking on the top Marine General on this planet in hand to hand combat. Clark was already severely outmatched. But tell me, how would he solve that problem? No prison could hold him and the Phantom Zone was no longer an option lol
I never liked superman. This movie made me love superman.
#1 Dark Knight
#2 Winter Soldier
#3 Man of Steel
#4 Avengers: Age of Ultron
#5 Ironman 1
1- Dark Knight
2- Avengers
3- Winter Soldier
4- Dark Knight Rises
5- Iron Man
Hmmm, my top 10 comic book movies are (in no particular order): Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Man of Steel, X-men: Days of Future Past, Captain America: the Winter Soldier, Thor, The Dark Knight, Iron-man, V for Vendetta, and Watchmen.
my girlfriend insisted on a natural birth when the doctors wanted a c section, she got her natural birth so this opening impacted me beyond words
By far in my opinion the most underrated and unpredicted superhero film.
I don't get mad at people for not liking it but I just find it so interesting how it originally had such
a clear divide of people who liked and disliked it yet everyone who disliked it for completely different reasons
one person will say they didn't like it because of the opening, some the end some the characters others the story.
Such a interesting movie to hear people's opinions on good or bad.
I love this movie and I am glad most people seem to like it after more viewings.
First Class or DOFP before Xmen apocalypse comes out!
+Gerardo Gonzalez Please do both!
DOFP would be great!!
Great suggestion!
Do a Winter Soldier commentary for Civil War
Soon my friend... But revel in the moment
+Ore Bolarin im sure they will but that is months away
+Emperor_O no it's not it comes out may 6, after next week it will only be a month away. I'm so pumped.
Redfender16 April 23 for Europe :)
I have no problem AT ALL with MOS.
has its flaws but I still love this movie
This is awesome!
+YogaFlame24 its weird seeing a person youre subscribed to in the comment section
+dmoneybay It is even weirder seeing someone your subscribed to in the comments section reply to someone that you are also subscribed to... in the comments section.
MoS is an awesome movie. And honestly I enjoy it more than the originals. The originals were great for what they were and I still enjoy them, but this version of Superman is great.
Then you get morons that say Snyder hates Superman. Um... No! Maybe you do, maybe you haven't even read a Superman comic book in the last 40 years. This film shows an emotional Superman, a human Superman, even when he is an alien from another planet. There is so much in this film, that references to Superman's history. Maybe he could be a little more sure of himself and quippy but I like this invincible hero that is vulnerable with his emotions. Which is such a beautiful way of showing this character.
WOOHOOO!! THIS is what the Man of Steel haters needed!!
Next?
Cap America : Winter Soldier
Avengers : Age of Ultron
(Before Cap America : Civil war please)!!
I wish I would be one of the cool kids, but the more I watch and think about this movie, the less I like it. Still, good video, guys.
Love this movie
I loved this movie the first time I watched it, but now, I just like it. I think it's a flawed, but decent film. Personally, I think it gets overhated. It's no masterpiece, but chill, guys.
Great action, supporting cast, soundtrack, opening, etc. I like how this movie was more first contact/sci fi epic before superhero movie. Whine all you want about the CGI, but Krypton is fucking beautiful.
However, I agree with people that the narrative became unstable in the 2nd half. Some dialogue by Goyer was bad like "I think he's kinda hot", "DICKSPLASH!", etc. It also suffers from being overly expository. I also didn't like the shaky cam and the rapid zooms, which is why it's awesome that Larry Fong came back to work with Snyder on MoS.
On another note, laugh at the Marvel shills who are here in full force trying to troll John. AWWWW, did he hurt your feewings when he trashed AoS? Btw, it's their fucking decision to choose which movie to do a commentary on.
+t1gertank19 what part are you correcting? lol
I wanna see a spiderman 3 commentary just for them emo dance scene reactions.
love man of steel amazing film,
Thanks for a great commentary, guys! I'm so happy there are positive voices to be found in the discussion of how the DCEU is doing. I agree that this is a movie that gets better with each viewing, and I've gone from thinking it was just okay (the first time) to liking it a lot. I can't wait to check out your BvS commentary.
loved rewatching this awesome movie with u guys
I really liked MoS the first time I saw it, and I fell in love with after watching it again a couple more times. So I wen't back to check what the general criticisms were, since the reception was lukewarm at best upon release. So the most common "criticisms' I could find from RT was that it wasn't warm and fuzzy like the Christopher Reeves movies. If you don't like the movie because you have a different taste in tone, all power to you, but if your "professional critique" about a film is that it's not like an older version you enjoyed, you just terrible at your job. Clark Kent is a man struggling to find his place, being taught over and over again that he doesn't belong, and struggles to save the very people who are afraid of him. This isn't a warm and fuzzy reality to be in. What purpose would jokes serve if it only worked to belittle the seriousness of the situation Clark was in ? I love comedic moments, and I really enjoyed most of the Marvel movies, but I don't need all my movies to be chucklefests.
Ahmed Mostafa you have no idea what you're talking about if you think people's problems with the movie are "because it isn't like the reeves movies" then you are delusional
LoN3wOlF5tudi0s Lack of character development? What? So, those flashbacks served no purpose then... okay. Poor storytelling? How was it poor? You do nothing to explain how it isn't poor. It's pretty easy to follow when you pay attention. The absurd climax you speak of makes sense for an alien invasion of godlike beings. Hell, isn't that the climax of other superhero movies too? Gonna complain about that? Superman's lack of- WOAH, WOAH, WOAH. First off, the ship did most of the damage, second off, during his fight with Zod, ZOD was throwing him through buildings and shit. The collateral damage swept under the rug.... just like in the following movies, The Incredible Hulk, The Avengers, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Avengers: Age of Ultron. Nobody gave any shits about the damage in those movies. Your argument is flawed.
I had no idea about the Reeve cameo! Thanks Schnepp! :D
Maaaan I can't wait to see you guys do a commentary for BvS..
ikr
Are we getting a Winter Soldier commentary before Civil War as well?
The scene with the cape. You can look at it a couple of ways. First, Clark came up with it on his own. He was making his own thing. Or you can look at as emulating any man of power. Standing with your hands on your hips is a stance of power and many figures in history wore capes. The Romans for example. He could have been emulating a Roman Emperor.
You are right. But few things better be unexplained.
+Ben Maliske Or Thor
DamnFineCupOfCoffee Yeah or some Greek gods and since Wonder Woman is coming, they most likely exist in the MoS universe
The countdown begins... All positive reactions from the Red Carpet Premiere! Nothing but hype from now til Batman V. Superman!
I put Man of Steel in my top 3 of comic book films, and that is as someone who walked out initially liking it but not loving it. it is indeed better with each viewing. Like Mark said, it's also gained something with the creation of BvS as you get to look at it in a fresh angle. I watched it a few days ago and as I'm watching the first flight scene and him crashing through a mountain, all I could think was "How the hell does Batman stand up to that?" which only gets me more excited for BvS and the universe as a whole.
I just watched Man of Steel again last week , I'm so excited for Batman v Superman . Love Man of Steel
Schnepp is always interesting to listen to .
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!! I'VE LOVED IT SINCE IT CAME OUT!!!!
My favorite thing about this commentary was pointing out the homage scenes. I didn't realize all the little ways this movie mentions other superman movies and shows.
i have no idea how many time i watch this film, just so beautiful.
Dude this is the kind of group I would like to be in. Just sit and talk movies all day and have commentaries
The only problem with Man of Steel were people's expectations. All the hate stems from the fact that people didn't get exactly what they wanted/expected. Such a great film
I remember first watching Man of steel and liking the movie at best. Over time and after several viewings I've grown to love the film and appreciate it for its themes and how the story was presented. I now see Man of steel as a masterpiece of the genre. Many superhero films have "fun" , "cool" or "stand out" moments, but I can't recall a superhero movie that presented so many "POWERFUL" moments throughout further highlighted by what I believe to be the best overall soundtrack ever put together for a superhero film.
I'm not at all a big fan of Man of Steel, but General Zod was a great villain.
Thanks for this guys, I really enjoyed the commentary.
I'm with Campea and Schnepp on this one, I absolutely loved this movie from the first time I saw it. Best Superman film ever and my personal favorite comic book movie so far.
Superman's Biological Mother is the same actress that plays Wilson Fisk's girlfriend in the Daredevil Netflix series.
I know I noticed that too!
+lewis foster now i can never unsee it
+lewis foster She was totally wasted as Lara, though. As Vanessa she really gets to shine.
I watched your commentary tonight as a tribute to Schnepp passing. Great movie. Easy to say Schnepp is and will be sorely missed. Rip the king
John the dog is not a stupid mechanism. many people consider their dogs apart of their family on the same level of importance as a human. they would risk their life for their dogs/pets
i loved the man of steel
That was awesome!
I watched man of steel while listening to the commentary.
What a great way to wait for BVS!
Ngl, this movie has a way of growing on you. Watched it last week for the first time since I saw it in theaters and it grew on me immensely
Schnepp: "People argue that Superman could have done something else with Zod."
Mark: "He could have put him in Arkham Asylum."
I've gained new respect for this movie after watching it while listening to these guys talk about the movie.
i loved man of steel. Probably watch it again before I watch BvS again
They're right in saying that Zod thinks he's doing the right thing. He's trying to save his world. The big conflict is that Zod is trying to save Krypton as it was, whereas Jor-El was trying to save Krypton for what it COULD be. Jor-El recognized (and Superman later realized) that Krypton and it's artificial controls had failed. It fits with the larger theme in the film of the organic being superior to the artificial (just like they pointed out with Jor-El's natural mode of transportation versus all the ships).
i love this movie, 9/10 to me
Currently watching Man of Steel with this commentary. Absolutely brilliant.
This movie kicks ass
