When I first screened Man of Steel there was nothing more that I wanted to do than watch Man of Steel. Watched it alone, got really into the first ten minutes and felt the Earth Father stuff as a great way to solidify Clark's moral values.

I didn't care much for the third act, but when I left the theater I thought "Way better than Returns, and I think Superman fans will consider it the best movie of the year. I thought it was pretty great, but the Lois love interest didn't make sense".

On my second viewing with a packed theater, I did more of a 90 than a 180. The audience's lack of reaction to anything in the movie didn't change my mind, it was that I watched it objectively and wasn't wowed that a Superman movie better than Returns is on the big screen. I shouldn't have been.

It's not a terrible movie, but a lot of it is inexplicable, it doesn't hold a non Superman fan's attention, and it is too long.

I liked SPIDER-MAN when it first came out. Find it awful now. But I can assure you I've never flip flop flipped. There's a lot to seeing a movie to me, and sometimes my first viewing is not enough for me.

Wolverine wearing boxing gloves was the funniest thing that happened in 2009.

I was expecting a "Opinions aren't, not 'opinions isn't'". Screwed the pooch on that one.

I thought the first one was the best one. The second one was okay, but after it's been mostly full retard.
