A couple of weeks ago, we went out to see the new Superman movie, Man of Steel. We were very excited because of Christopher Nolan's part in the making of the film. I [Lucrecia] am an especially huge fan after seeing the brilliant Dark Knight trilogy and the mind-blowing Inception. Back to Man of Steel... Here's a trailer for those who have not seen it...
This movie was released on the 14th of June 2013. The movie is 143 minutes long and is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. It is directed by Zack Snyder and is produced by Christopher Nolan, Emma Thomas, Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder. The story is based on Superman by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.
Now to what we think of it.
Lucrecia: Man of Steel. I find the movie to be very entertaining, as in many things happen and the graphics are appealing. Plot-wise though, it wasn't impressive. It's not that I don't like it; I just think that they can do better. The plot was only good. Many people don't agree but I really enjoyed the lack of humour and lightness. Most of the scenes were pretty serious and I found that pretty exciting. I don't really get why but I'm not too keen on humour except if they're the dry, satiric kind or the How-I-Met-Your-Mother kind. If you're into fun things and humour, I wouldn't recommend this movie. It's quite dark, like most films Christopher Nolan takes part in. All in all, I thought it was super, get it? Even with a so-so plot, it is after all, a movie and when we watch movies, we tend to go offtrack with the story and focus more on the images dancing before our eyes. So I found it really enjoyable. If you think you can sit down [or stand up, however you like it] and watch an almost humour-less and very serious movie for nearly two and a half hours, then you really should. I know for me that it wasn't a waste of my time and money. Think you'd give it a try?
Vladlena: The movie was pretty good, at least for someone with my taste. Unlike Lucrecia, I found the plot very interesting and straightforward, just the way I like things to be. I thought the details in between scenes were fascinating, and I like how the whole movie flows altogether. For people who are into romance and humour, this isn't a movie I would suggest you to watch. It's not something you merely enjoy. As for me, I'm quite fine with watching a 143 minutes movie containing little to no humour, let alone romance, since the lack of romance is what I was kind of looking forward to. Oh, and I personally like the change of outfits from the other Superman related creations. Up close, the current outfit, it kind of looks like the outfit is made up of bubbles [but of course, I wasn't wearing my glasses, so it's only natural for me to think so]. The outfit looked slightly more masculine, and I liked how he's keeping his underwear to himself. All in all, I would rate this movie as 7.5/10, and is worth the amount of money spent.

I was not so certain who was who but after this article im sure Vladena is vanessa. With or without glasses i think you just have a quirky imagination and will always look at things most of the times very differently than wht people expect.
ReplyDeleteI think this movie is good (which is impressive for superhero movies as they tend to have cheesy story lines that are always predictably far off reality) because it dares to tell the superman story true to the comics unlike the usual ones tht would only aim to please stereotypical romance and heroism. However I felt that the ending was rather light and unsatisfying but the contrastive (from what is to expect from superhero movies for the theaters) storyline was just enough to curb my dislike that I would have had for it. There was also a daring move in my part to watch a superhero movie produced for the theaters because it would usually meant that it disappoint those who knew superman mostly by comics. Overall, it was good(as in surprisingly being less stereotypical and staying true with the actual superman history) besides the not-so-satisfying ending and the fact that(if you had not noticed) it passively preached the severe consequences of over-exploiting a planets resources, just the typical tree-hugging crap.
