It's like Cubed just said - people are only excited to see Batman punch Superman. I guess that's the part I just don't get. That's not a story, it's an action. It's a movie, not the WWE.
Y'all can scream bloody murder if you want - but you're the sycophants here, not me. This is EXACTLY the same BS as every other reboot. The Hype has convinced you otherwise. There's no difference between this and TMNT 2014. None.
I've had this conversation with kids like you before - when Nolan was untouchable as the king of movies, just before DK rises. I knew that was garbage, just like I know this is garbage. Nolan has always been a terrible filmmaker - but he understood how to market himself. This is more of the same. This isn't GD Superman. It's Hollywood cosplay.
I'm not a Marvel fan bashing DC. I'm a Superman fan sick of TPTB right now, thinking there clever re-imagings are interesting. More to the point, I've actually been a Superman fan longer than ANYONE in this conversation, so STFU with the insults. I've spent money same as you, and probably more on DC - I get a say in the quality, or lack there of, and I don't need your permission to criticize the product they're schlepping right now.
I'm not minimizing you, so try and show a little courtesy to someone who has a difference of opinion.

The fact that you take anything Cubed says as the opinion of the general public is alarming and only further proves that you don't get it. Just because people are guaranteed a good time with this movie simply because they're finally witnessing the clash of two icons on the big screen for the first time in history doesn't mean that's all the movie offers. So far, everything you've said about this movie is false. Your blind child-like hate is pathetic and is clearly getting in the way of you seeing and comprehending what everyone else already has about this movie.
This is the equivalent of ignorant TMNT fans bitching about 2k3 for not following the source material which they wrongly believe to be the original cartoon and then sh*tting all over the people behind the show by claiming they have no idea what they're doing.
As Leo has stated time and time again, these movies clearly get Superman. Just because it isn't like the Superman you like doesn't mean it isn't staying true to the character beyond the Reeve films. It's like a Smallville fan claiming everything else Superman related got it wrong because it's not like Smallville.
Oh, and calling me kid and trying to claim some sort of seniority as a fan of Superman doesn't make you a credible judge when discussing the quality of all things Superman. You're free to criticize but don't expect anyone to take you serious when you act like the Reeve films are the definitive source for Superman.
