The flying scenes were excellent


Like this movie or not, the flying footage was really well crafted.

The crashing aircraft part and the part where he's flying around the city averting disasters were things of beauty in that respect.

THATS FAIR...SAD THE SCENES OF FLIGHT ARE THE ONLY THING OF NOTE IN THE FILM

I think the film lost its pacing in the second half. But there are some glorious moments, too.

The plane rescue is the best scene in the movie. It's too bad most of the movie was so boring.

They finally had the technology to make this character really come to life. And they blew it.

reply

Disagree. I thought Routh's flight looked way too stiff and linear. I much prefer the flying in MOS because it looked more fluid and realistic.

reply

Man of Steel did nothing for me.

reply

I really hated the flying in Man of Steel, mostly because Cavill looked way too stiff, it looked like he couldn't even bring his head up to look while he was flying.

Yeah the plane rescue is totally awesome! I really don’t think this scene could’ve been done any better, it’s brilliant.

The air suction could've torn off Kate Bosworth's clothes, then her underroos, leaving her exposed to the audiences admiring gaze. That would've strengthened this scene exponentially

That's the directors cut, it's not as good as you would think as she shit herself.
But you can't have it all.

Injecting scat into the equation. That's kinky

Scat?? No idea.

I agree. He was great as Superman and those scenes were amazing. The overall story of the son and cringe Lex ruined it. Routh should have been the new Superman. Would have spared us the edgelord Snyder Superman. Superman is supposed to be positive and hopeful and something to aim for, not a "reflection of" whatever. Save the darker stuff for Batman and the like.

reply

He needs to be more muscular tho'

reply

Have you seen Routh? The guy is as muscular as Cavill but he is taller and looks more athletic. They should have kept him.

reply

I saw Superman Returns in theater back then. He looked smaller than Christopher Reeve.

reply

Doesn't hold a candle to the flying in the Salkind movies.

reply

Hey don't forget quest for peace. The flying in that was seamless.

reply

Seamlessly cut and reused from the earlier movies
