Man Of Steel. Beginning of the movie is good and the film is overall decent for a Superman movie. What gets old is the 40 minute long explosions and fight scenes. Maybe reduce that by half and make the tone a little more brighter and hopeful and you’d have a great Superman film. Also reduce or get rid of all the Jesus allusions. Like i get it and i respect that the director is a Christian but it gets overwhelming after a while.

I know everyone acts like this movie somehow ruined Reeve Superman but to me it is overwhelmingly reverential of those films almost like an amped up remake of Superman 1 and 2. Except it is darker and Superman half self doubt, he is almost emo and brooding. And because it is Snyder everything has to be giant scale and epic even when it doesn’t really have to be, or super serious.

Man of Steel is IMO the least Snyder-y of Zack Snyder’s filmography.
