It stands for frustration. A scant few tantalizing moments surrounded by Phantom Menace-level storytelling

Oh and some dodgy CG. And execrable product placement. And the worst extras I've ever noticed (3rd unit director (or whoever) must have forgot to tell them buildings were falling around them).Ā 

Supr2 Solíd A my kids favorite movie so far 2013 {nm} gogreenytd Jun 14, 20:19

Sorry all but I give it a C {nm} islander Jun 14, 20:47

Sounds like the extras from TREK2 got another gig. second gary Jun 14, 21:16

I think I doze off in the 1st hour or so., too much dialogue in front.. Action starts to pick up only after that {nm} karspov Jun 14, 21:05

Lol opposite for me. islander Jun 14, 21:11

I give it a solid "B" {nm} NineTailFox Jun 14, 21:23

Many negative reviews on this movie have too hot, too cold opposite opinions. {nm} KalElFan Jun 15, 00:17

what's lower than an F? Man of Steel makes you long for the sheer mediocrity of Superman Returns or Quest for Peace charlie Jun 14, 22:49

Heh. The trollish naysayers are getting testy, a good sign perhaps as so many "loved it" posts pile up here as elsewhere. {nm} KalElFan Jun 14, 23:19

the only thing that made me testy was having to sit through 2 and 1/2 hours of Snyder's ponderous direction {nm} charlie Jun 14, 23:32

Snyder never got great RT. He deserved it here, but some critics can be like gymnastics or figure skating judges. :-) {nm} KalElFan Jun 14, 23:56

Marvel bias, skittishness about the major spoiler / darkness, over-rating SR, aversion to the genre... lots of possible reasons. {nm} KalElFan Jun 14, 23:58

no mystery. it's just a ****ing awful movie {nm} charlie Jun 14, 23:59

however low the RT score ends up, it's still too high {nm} charlie Jun 14, 23:59

Maybe the F was meant to mean "flawless." :) ingenious Jun 14, 23:49

No significant or fundamental flaws. My nitpick was the shaky cam in one scene, but I think it was intentionally shaky there. {nm} KalElFan Jun 15, 00:03

I think with you having the moniker you do, some people are going to rag on the movie just to try and get under your skin... {nm} ingenious Jun 15, 00:19

I'd be hard-pressed to find a person who wanted to love this Superman-movie more than Charlie {nm} JoeMetz Jun 15, 08:46

Well, my case for A+ is at the links 5 threads down. There are many glowing reviews from the base, and even the Rotten RT is 6.3 / 10. {nm} KalElFan Jun 15, 09:05

Is there are non-trollish F anywhere on the net, let alone from anyone Superman-savvy? If there is I could dissect it at a link. :-) {nm} KalElFan Jun 15, 09:08

I thought it was an outstanding superhero film. It hit all the right notes for me. {nm} banke005 Jun 15, 20:05

Glad you liked it. There's a significant difference in moviegoer and core base reception of it vs. the 57% Rotten and 6.3/10 RT. {nm} KalElFan Jun 16, 03:25
