this movie was my childhood, its amazing

Man of Steel was pretty mediocre imo but to each their own

@@terryprice1691 well it was definitey better than ironman but apart from that, it was rly good, idk whats "mediocre"

@@DivineBeastVahMedoh It spent way too much time on the origin story, it suffered from the same problem Returns has had which is that it was really boring in certain scenes, the characters were poorly developed, the shaky camera angles made it difficult to see what was going on half the time, etc. Man of Steel’s heart was in the right place but it just felt like to me that it just didn’t really know what it wanted to be. This just isn’t the visualization of Superman that I’ve read about in the comics. I think the best thing the film has over Returns though is the villain but everything else is just kinda meh. I feel bad for Cavill though, because he really is a good Superman just like Routh but just needed better writing.

@@terryprice1691 Nah, you just don't know a good movie.

Computer games has ruined a generation or two.. not everything has to be action scenes.

​@@kathleenhensley5951When stuffs like Mortal Kombat get into some people's heads,they kind of become obsessed with mindless actions and gore.

agree.

I could watch Brandon Routh as Superman saving people, cities, the world, all day tbh.

@Tobey Maguire what's a moron lmao

you should watch man of steel . he saves the entire world from the kryptonians. best superman to date.

@@jordanrodriguez6412 lmao. By destroying a whole city and crashing Zods ship into like 10 buildings

@@josephstalone6911 you do realize in a real world alien invasion it's not going to be all Cinderella-like and no one is going to be hurt. Man of Steel is the close example to that.

Somebody saw it, good.

I'm amazed by it ^^

You forgot invulnerability.

And don’t forget jimmy’s finger on the camera taking pictures at Mach 2 🤣

@TheFirstWheel He's right, you're wrong.

@TheFirstWheel you sound salty

Except to that one guy's car.

Boring movie. Rather watch BVS over this

Man of steel had to fight Kryptonians who were as strong as him. They wanted to destroy the planet. You can't have beings so powerful fighting in a city and not causing damage

@@mahrezbahri791 Plus this is a seasoned and established Superman, Man of Steel showed Superman's literal first time saving Metropolis from a dangerous threat.

@@Buzz32123 exactly ! It was part of his arc to control his powers. We even see that in BVS he takes Doomsday to space to avoid casualties

@@tavareslowery8643 It its because people wanted a darker political tone DC universe. Marvel already made a success with some what cheesy, but admirable heroes. DC wanted to be the opposite to Marvel cinematic universe which is to be darker and serious like Zack Synders' Watchmen.

@@flipthetyphoon3325 Yeah. But Superman shouldn't be in that tone. The whole dark tone bs should be used only for Batfleck. Not Superman🤦

You guys do realise he was superman for all of less then a day in mos and in bvs there is literally a montage of him saving people

@@jesusmacfaline2749 Shit. I forgot about the BvS rocket scene

The guy lifted an island made of Kryptonite later on. This was just a warm up.

Kryptonians can lift millions of tons

The island was the only part of this great film I didn’t like. With all that Kryptonite jutting out of it, it didn’t feel realistic to me that he could do that. And yes I know I’m talking about realism in a totally unrealistic fantasy film but I think you know what I mean

@CYB3R2K30 i mean... the island was made of kryptonite

@@jasonparker346 The only way I could justify that is if the island wasn't real/pure Kryptonite, just Crystal Tech mimicking its properties. Would also explain why Superman didn't realize he was powerless until Lex punched him, because it wasn't causing the overt weakness of normal Kryptonite.

@@cactusmalone Yeah I hated her ass.

Maybe. But it completely bombed in the box offices.

it was a really boring movie

Would’ve benefited from a sequel. But it failed at the box office

@@mastercontrolprogram163 Really don’t understand why. It’s pretty good movie despite a few flaws it has.

Good eye!

Holy crap, I didn't catch that before, and I'm the Reverse Flash!

I noticed that upon viewing it again on Blue ray too. Good eye.

Too bad he can't act very well.

Matt yes he can?

@@joshhaddock6772 There's a reason why he's a CW actor and not an A-list Hollywood actor. His acting abilities are mediocre at best.

Matt because that’s the part he got. you act like breaking into hollywood is easy

@@joshhaddock6772 It's certainly not easy when you can't act very well.

Yeah he acuually slowed down instead of hitting them with double the amount of force.

@@politicsaside9171 holy shit I hadn't noticed that. That's the one problem that comes up in superhero movies the Physics wouldn't work. In The Big Bang Theory Sheldon explains this. It's that when Superman caught Lois Lane in 1978 the physics weren't right. IRL The speed and force he was going at would've not only killed Lois but split her into 3 equally sized parts or blown her apart.

Totally

@@nicktroisi6347 yeh you die from sudden stop, he should slow him down gradually allowing him to fall a bit longer

Thank god that man was the only person falling to their death at that time…

do they have insurance

What kills me, is that he didn't even try to fly up with it, he literally just glides down with it and sets it on the car and then is like, here normal humans, you figure it out and leaves 😂

It was the only thing he could do. He knew he was needed elsewhere.

I bet it was Steve Lombard's car.

JFC, another passive/aggressive Karen, "The movie wasn't the best but it did a lot of things right." Gads you trolls are endless. To the Poster - Thank you. SR, vastly better than Mos.

​@@billhosko7723 "Vastly better than MoS"?!? 🤣🤣🤣 On what planet exactly? Because on *this* one, MoS was actually 10x better and far more entertaining than this movie ever was, this film had its moments sure, I'll give it *that* much, but it's still nowhere close to being somehow "better" than MoS tho.

Yeah, but the *anti-hero* side of superheroes is also what we need showcased more often as well. Scenes that perfectly capture the essence of anti-heroes convey the message that these are still beings that are *not* to be trifled with *nor* taken for granted in *any* capacity especially since these powerful figures/beings are merely *choosing* to be saviors and *are not obligated in any way whether it's morally, spiritually or otherwise* to *have* to be humanity's saviors whatsoever anyway.

@@alsimmons4504ang bro this is like the third time I’ve seen you in the comment section of a Superman clip defending the Man of Steel and hating on Superman Returns 😂. Are u good?

@@bradyxhedges7335 nope andrew is not as classic as Tobey's Spiderman

@@pharmit24 not as classic, but the cgi was beautifuk

​@@bradyxhedges7335 true so compare to Spiderman 1 the year it was around back then similar 2002 and this 2006

I think it's basically that this was the ultimate form of the cgi used in the Spider-Man trilogy before they started using new technology and it changed the look and "feel" of cgi. After this movie we moved into Iron Man's level of effects.

Will definitely make for an interesting case with the insurance company.

Metropolis in the dceu fucking sucks. Why the fuck did Snyder not include the Daily Planet Globe? Seriously the whole realism for Superman's universe is lame for Superman

@Paul with beings as powerful as him, not to mention he was just starting out

@@martialartsfighter720 The Globe is located in the Daily Planet's lobby in the those movies.

Healty Wealth Needed just a little more action. That would’ve been Great!

he was borin asf

After henry cavill I thought superman should be buffed a bit. Routh s body is too normal

@@TerriProductions You are fucking stupid

Yeah we were going to get a sequel in 2009, but multiple things went wrong. Bryan Singers initial disinterest, after disagreeing with the Warner Bros about the box office returns, " that movie made 400 million, I don't know what constitutes underperforming these days". 179 million was the maximum budget Warner Bros was projecting for the sequel, as Superman Returns cost 204 million to make. Filming for the sequel was to start in mid 2007 before halted development in favor of Valkyrie. Filming was then pushed to March 2008, but writers Dougherty and Dan Harris left in favor of other career opportunities. The writers Guild of America pushed the release date to 2010. Things got worse Routh's contract for a sequel was said to expire in 2009 if they didn't get filming started soon they would lose their main star. With all this Warner Bros deciding to reboot the film series, and Bryan Singer decided he was done with Superman, if he was offered to direct the new Man of Steel film but declined.

What stinks is also was supposed to be action-packed with an alien villain.

Sad we didn't get it.

I agree, it was only tainted by the poor plot writing, poor script writing and with Bryan Singer's crime against a minor.

pjosepha idk about Reeve being proud of this film more like "I'm thrilled I wasn't a part of a bad sequel: therefore no one could blame me for routh's performance".

Tobey?

Dude probably capped his pants 😂

realistically his back would have instantly snapped in two when superman caught him

@@duckcluck123 I feel like Supes decreased his altitude as he caught him to decelerate him instead of just letting all that whiplash hit him.

@@duckcluck123 supermans telepathic shield protects things he holds from feeling the force on impact from his catches.

this will always be my favorite superman film, and I say that with zero apologies

Yeah but that costume looks so gay, seriously burgundy red I mean what was Bryan Singer thinking, Richard Donner did way better when he have the suit made for Christopher Reeve because Christopher Reeve made the suit work.

I am sorry, but with the upper lip catastrophe known as Justice League I just cannot take his superman anymore or superman in general. I want a new one similar to Reeve.

Hey. They brought back the classic John Williams theme in BvS. I don't see why not.

@@corrollasful You prefer the new sparkly Superman suit?? How is that not more gay??

@@LukeLovesRose if you're talking about the New 52 Henry Cavill Superman that new suit is more solid and on point for the new generation, the most Badass Superman suit up to date.

You can rest now me

yamato takeru so true!

People always blame the wrong people for a movie being bad. Like Jared leto on suicide squad.

@ANTHONY THOMAS how so

@ANTHONY THOMAS isn’t that the point? It ain’t supposed to look like the Death Star laser

@ANTHONY THOMAS because they tried to make it like how it would look like in real life.

@ANTHONY THOMAS Superman can control the intensity of his laser eyes, of course he wasn't gonna use the iconic two beams to stop the building parts from falling on civilians, it'll just slice them in two

@ANTHONY THOMAS then is not the effect that is awful for you, instead is the concept of the heat vision used in this movie

He went crashing through a building just to lift that Daily Planet globe.

@@comicguy4417 windows! Not a building

Tell that to comic book writers who introduced monsters like doomsday and zod and make superman just save some buildings and cats

sorry but when it comes to fighting enemies like zod and doomsday he's gone be fighting them and not saving people constantly, henry cavill is great as superman as well and so is Brandon routh. SUperman is this movie was fighting against the chaos created by luthor so obviously the battles aren't going to be epic its more of saving everyone. Use a little logic next time since the villains vastly impact the fight scenes

@@DivineBeastVahMedoh Yes, exactly 👍

Absolutely like comic superman

@Cameron Matlock you snatched word of my mouth my friend. Brandon is The Superman

yeap, he got the charisma

malhar jajoo yessssss😍😍😍😍😍

Cavill was better, but I liked Brandon too. But MOS was an outstanding movie also.

In truth joker just want to do easy mode. Because Batman is getting way too hard for him to break. Superman is much easier because superman doesn't know how joker thinks.

Lorenz Frost Or because him having super powers makes him super dumb and lazy Use more 💪brawn than 🧠 brain

"Even in the darkest of times, hope strikes through. Hope is the light that lifts us out of darkness"

@@sgdklnptihygoh7747 you do know superman is a 10th level of intellect right? He reconstructed a machine that could turn any thought into reality by pure memory after glancing at it for a short moment, He also controlled said machine because it was said there that his thoughts were absolute and precise and any wrong thought could bring out the end of the universe He solved a self reconstructing ship that had an AI that was being updated infinitely Btw he always outsmarts lex, and lex is the smartest human If that isn't brains i don't know what is

@@imbangmaynn5705 Lex Luthor never surrender for something bigger than himself. He can see the machinations of the universe but he sees himself as the center. That's why superman has always beat him. The Batman who laughs sees these flaws in Lex Luthor. He's ego is his greatest weakness. Joker on the hand is unpredictable he wants is nothing but chaos. He could do simple prank turn into a death trap. He has booby trap within a booby trap he do it just for laughs. He's a true psychopath one that is hard to anticipate.

Me too.

It has a 76% on RT. It was received well....

Thought it was great. First movie I saw in imax 3D. Like it better then the new dc movies

Rob S brandon routh does remind me of mr. reeve.... amezing

@Bob Wehadababyitsaboy I don't see any of the things your pointing out buddy , Henry never gave off a I'm better then you complex he always made time for fans even when he was to busy doing something else. He even defends fan bases that gives off negative reviews about his work etc! You sound like you just got a personal grudge against the actor for no morel reason.

That moment you realise there have been people that have done that in similar situations...

If i punch you surprisingly the very first thing you would do is cover your face. No matter where or how i will punch Its like a default move

@@justsomeguywithoutamustach6654 I think it’s called instinct. You just do it without thinking, But yeah it’s like a default move.

Warner Bros is a mistake...their own worst enemy!

Danny Vestal Bale and Routh were the right age to build a film franchise off of for the next decade plus. DC should’ve kept them, especially since Affleck and Cavill are out.

They seriously should’ve done this. Routh and Bale would have had some great chemistry. They also would’ve beaten Marvel to the punch!

ecurb _ Batman v Superman starring Bale and Routh would’ve had better reviews and better box office results than the movie we got.

@@ecurb_2558 as I remember bale wasn't that much interested . Well that's what happen when u cast A list actors and then he doesn't stick

Henry was calm too in bvs

@@hsujhsuj3221 "MARTHA!!!!!"

Superman: The Man of Steel was suppose to come out in 2009, the Writer's Strike killed that and it was pushed to 2010. Brandon's contract expired in 2009 and wasn't renewed.

Agree with you at 100%: reboot = shit....Superman 1978-Return = REAL SUPERMAN!

The fact that they made Lex the bad guy once again ruin the movie as well.

Couldn't agree more, they just need better script. The have great cast, great acting, great story, they have it all, except script.

animator 049 it wouldn't be fun if he didn't struggle it would've been boring . Henry was awesome

Da Dailey guess so...

Da Dailey guess so...

Superman Returns was the sequel of Superman II. I agree though, there should be a sequel.

Cavil was humorless, emotionless,and the whole movie was a crap.

yeah but he ruined someone's car at the end

and that didn't stop the gas leak so it re-ignited probably 30 seconds later from a spark. sorry to bring logic into this. : )

@@coppulor6500 The gas was turned off for further repairs after superman put out the fire

You mean he doesn't just blow shit up? He actually tries to save lives?

He could have just raised the planet up to the roof again, bruh

he can focus it to be a beam or surface.

I think he altered it to be a flat arc to catch the debris

I like it too. This one and the Smallville heat vision effect. I think I actually prefer the focused reddish air distortion effect to the fiery laser ray of death that a lot of other versions of heat vision look like.

@ANTHONY THOMAS Agree to disagree, then.

Laser sight ? Haven't been a fan for long, have you ?

So does the car owner...

🤣⚡👍🏿😁😎

I think he discovered it right away.

When I first saw that on opening day in the theater I was like, Yeah.. How he didn't even slow down to get to the next accident is what I liked, he just flips over and zzzzzzzz.. then flys away like it was nothing and rolls doing it.. That's superman. Snyder's Superman forgot that it all about that Superman/People relationship..

@@JaybayJay lol right

Cavill is more the modern Superman (New 52/Post-Crisis eras); Chris Reeve embodied the Silver age version of the character; mind you it trimmed the less attractive aspects of his character and did away with the ridiculous amount of baggage the comics had in terms of background characters. What Routh, and Superman Returns in general, should have been was the bridge between the silver age stylings of the Donner films and the then current age Superman comics. A reconciliation if you will.

JayP2424 routh is too busy being the atom

Reeves impersonation isnt superman

@@j.t2348 AMEN...I wish people would stop acting like Christopher's Superman is the ONLY SUPERMAN. There is no such thing as a definitive version of a character...comic books are allowed to break that rule all the time why aren't films?

Unfortunately, more people died because Superman didn't go after Lex sooner.

I didnt like her a Lois at all though. She is the worst Lois imo. Especially looks.

Juan. Christopher Reve and Dean Cain are my favorite superman Anything newer is bla

Didnt like casting of Lois and guy played Lex phoned it in, not nefarious enough, cheesy. Brandon was perfect as Clark/Superman. Bad story hurt the film.

Its no doubt the saving scenes were amazing

hacktivist It was a snooze fest. The characters were spot on, and there were some great classic Superman moments, but it felt more like a tribute to the Richard Donner films, than anything else. Bad execution.

They needed more punches and kicks. Me...I knew going into this movie that Superman could to all that and in order for me to like it they had to do something more than just that and they did. They made Superman a hero.
