    As far as stupid superhero movies go, this is among the least stupid ones.
    Once again I'd like to point out that I enjoy DC/Warner's stuff way more than anything Marvel ever made.

      Editing … I'd say Man of Steel's in the same league as the weakest MCU films. I like things about it (mainly the music and the spectacle) but I don't think it's better than most Marvel films, too many things bug me about it.

      Editing … I rated it 6/10, most Batman movies are 8/10s in my book, every marvel movie I've seen is like a 2/10 at most

      Editing … I'd give Avengers 1, Guardians of the Galaxy and Winter Solider something like 8/10, about the same as I'd give Batman Begins, more than I'd give Dark Knight Rises and way more than I'd give the 90s Batman films. Man of Steel's a 5 or a 6/10 for me as well, which is about what I'd give Cap 1, Thor 1 & 2 and Iron Man 2. I'd give Iron Man 3 and Ant Man less.

      Editing … I hated Man of Steel and am baffled how anyone could think it's better than any of Marvel's movies. The movie is so serious that it's off-putting, everything is washed out and dreary, Clark Kent/Superman gets practically no development, and it fundamentally contradicts Superman's character. This is one of two superhero movies that I left the theater angry, the other being Fantastic Four (the newer one).

      Editing … For me it definitely beats Iron Man 3. Man of Steel had the awesome Hans Zimmer soundtrack and some really great spectacle. It messed up with writing that's average to poor and there are some annoying plot holes but on balance nothing about it bugged me as much as Iron Man 3's mistakes did and there were parts of it I enjoyed. It's better than Ant Man as well, I just don't like the premise for that one.

      Editing … Say what you will about the rest of the movie, those first 15 minutes on Krypton are awesome. I almost want a Krypton prequel more than another Superman story.

      Editing … Man of Steel is flawed but they don't bug me too much. Granted that's partly because I don't give a crap about Superman to begin with, so I don't have any preconceived ideas of what Superman is supposed to be.

      Editing … I actually thought the Krypton section was one of the worst parts. They know the planet's collapsing but they take the time to have a failed coup, a trial and then the only people they evacuate are the leaders of that failed coup in what's got to be the least punishing punishment in cinematic history. Meanwhile there's a conveniently timed birth that defies the eugenics/artificial breeding thing that unnecessarily complicates the plot, there's suggestions that they gave up on their space programme as though that's why they can't evacuate (you'd think a species that becomes godlike under a yellow sun would be into space travel) but as I say they evacuated Zod and his minions so that's obviously not the deal. They just nonsensically all wait around to die when clearly at least some of them including Superman's mum could've been evacuated the same way Zod and his friends were (ideally instead of Zod and his friends). Oh and Jor El sends a digital copy of himself with his son but not one of his wife.

      Editing … An ossified society in denial about it's ancient home doesn't strike me that impausible. The eugenics thing colors Zod's characterization a lot, and why he's obsessed with Superman. Plus Krypton being an advance civilization that was wiped out when their planet blew is pretty well established. The hologram thing is pretty convenient I'll grant. Anyway I think the visuals are the best thing about that segment anyway, as that's Snyder's strength.

      Editing … The visuals in Man of Steel are great, I thought the scenes with him learning to fly and the final battle were the high point on that front though. Anyway story wise it mainly bugs me that they messed up with the they knew the planet was collapsing but still didn't evacuate even though they could've because they sent their war criminals into space thing.
